ChefOnline
Online Ordering System in the United Kingdom
ChefOnline is a digital platform for ordering food online in the UK. This platform acts as an intermediary between the customers and the independent restaurants and takeaway services.
In this era of internet and smartphones, ordering a takeaway or booking a table on phone is becoming less preferable. And it is less efficient as well. It is easy to miss the order over phone and lose track of the special demands made by customers upon booking a table. But when the restaurants and takeaways maintain their own website with online ordering system, it becomes way easier and efficient to take and process more orders and book tables efficiently.
And many big chain restaurants are doing so. The problem is, developing and maintaining a website is a huge investment and sometimes not financially feasible for small, independent restaurants and takeaway services. So, these restaurants and takeaways enlist the help of 3 party intermediary online companies, that charge commission on each order. Though this services cost a lot due to these commission cuts, but these restaurants and takeaways are void of any other option.
ChefOnline was established with a view to help out those independent restaurants and takeaway services. ChefOnline as said before, is also an online ordering platform. But instead of charging commissions on each order, the part that costs the restaurants/takeaways.
Le Chef PLC, the parent company of ChefOnline was founded in 2014 with the vision of providing an online ordering platform for restaurants and takeaways in the UK, that does not charge commission on every single order the restaurants or takeaways get but just a small monthly fee. And in February 2016, ChefOnline emerged as the online ordering platform.
People of the UK can easily search, restaurants/takeaway of their liking near specified areas. And of course, they can easily order the meals from those restaurants/takeaways.
ChefOnline became a popular name among the restaurant and takeaway owners. Because the service is easily accessible and they don’t have to worry about commission cuts.
