For Chinese Takeaways

Your menu, your margins

Aggregators shouldn't take a cut of every dish.

Stop giving 30% of every order to platforms. Build your own customer base with an ordering system that handles large menus, set meals, and combo deals properly.

The Problem

Aggregators take too much

Chinese takeaways are among the busiest on delivery apps. The platforms know this—and charge you for it.

25-35%

Gone on every order

Commission fees add up fast when you're doing volume. A busy Saturday night can cost you hundreds in fees.

100+ items

Menu management nightmare

Chinese menus are extensive. Managing them across multiple aggregator platforms is time-consuming and error-prone.

0

Customer emails you own

Your regulars order every week, but you can't contact them. No way to send promos or bring them back directly.

Chinese takeaway customers are loyal. Give them a direct way to order.

Under the hood

Everything a busy Chinese takeaway needs to run direct

Not a stripped-back order form. The tools that get a long order to the kitchen right — and turn a Saturday-night set meal into a regular you actually own.

Order ahead, not just ASAP

Take orders for now or for later. Set prep and lead times so the rush spreads into bookable 15-minute slots — up to 30 days out — instead of fifty tickets all landing at 7pm.

Every choice, on the dish

Curry sauce on the side, boiled or fried rice, spice level, prawn crackers, no MSG — add required and optional modifier groups with per-option pricing and a free-text box for special instructions.

A kitchen screen for long orders

Every order on a live screen sorted by status, urgent ones flagged. A set meal for four with all its choices comes through itemised and clear — no shouting over a paper ticket on a busy Saturday.

"Out for delivery" by text

Automatic email and SMS keep customers updated from confirmed through to out-for-delivery — fewer "where's my order?" calls tying up the phone on your busiest night.

Banquet deals that bring them back

Build banquet and combo deals for two or three, money off over a threshold, free crackers on first orders, a reward on every fifth order. Automatic rules with no codes to type at checkout.

Already on Square? Stay there

Online orders sync straight into your Square register with two-way status updates, and card payments run through your existing Square account. One till, one view of every order.

Make it yours

Your takeaway, not a marketplace listing

On an aggregator you're one logo in a scroll. Here the whole storefront is yours — set it up to look the part in minutes, no designer required.

  • A theme built for high-volume ordering
    Start from the Quick Service preset — one of six built-in storefront designs — with a compact list layout that keeps a 100-item menu fast to order from.
  • Your fonts, your colours
    Choose from 14 curated font pairings and set your own brand colours, so the storefront matches your shopfront and your menu leaflet.
  • Your own web address
    Run it on order.yourtakeaway.com, or our free subdomain. One link for the leaflet, the receipt and your socials.
  • Built for a big menu
    Group hundreds of dishes into clear categories with sticky tabs — set meals, mains and sides all stay quick to find and quick to order.

FAQ

Common questions

Can it handle a 100-plus item menu without overwhelming customers?

Yes. Organise your whole menu into categories and subcategories — starters, soups, mains, rice and noodles, set meals — with sticky tabs so customers jump straight to the section they want. A long Chinese menu stays quick to browse and quick to order from.

Can I sell set meals and combo deals for two or three?

Yes. Build banquet and combo deals at a fixed price, and let customers make their choices within the deal — a main each, a shared rice, a side. You can also run automatic offers like money off over a threshold or free crackers on a first order, with no codes to type.

Can customers customise dishes — spice level, rice, sauce on the side?

Yes. Add unlimited modifier groups to any dish with required or optional choices, per-option pricing and a free-text box for special instructions. Curry sauce on the side, boiled or fried rice, spice level, no MSG — it all comes through exactly as the customer built it.

Can I set a delivery radius and a minimum order?

Yes. Draw your delivery zones on a map and give each one its own minimum order value, delivery fee and opening hours. Customers outside your area simply can't place a delivery order, so you never get a drop that isn't worth the trip.

Can I run this alongside Just Eat or Deliveroo?

Absolutely, and most of our takeaways do. Aggregators are good for discovery; TypeMenu is where you convert those customers into direct, commission-free repeat orders. Put your link on the leaflet, the receipt and your social, and watch repeat orders move across.

Do you provide delivery drivers?

No — TypeMenu is the ordering platform, not a courier. You handle delivery with your own drivers or offer collection, which means you keep control of the experience and pay no rider fees on top.

Are there any per-order commissions?

No. TypeMenu is a flat monthly subscription with zero commission on your orders. The only extra is standard card processing from your payment provider — Stripe is built in, or payments run through Square if you use Square POS. Either way, those fees go to your provider, not to us.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees. You can cancel from your dashboard at any time, and your storefront stays active until the end of your billing period.
