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.

The Solution

A branded storefront built for large menus. Set meals, combos, and all your dishes—organised and easy to order.

Zero commission

Flat monthly fee, no matter how many orders you take. Busy week? Same price as a quiet one.

FAQ

Common questions

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card required to start.

Are there any per-order commissions?

No. TypeMenu charges a flat monthly subscription with zero commission on your orders. The only additional cost is standard card processing fees from your payment provider — Stripe is built in with simple onboarding, and if you use Square POS, payments go through Square instead. Either way, the fees go to your payment provider, not to us.

Will my customers actually use it instead of Just Eat or Deliveroo?

TypeMenu isn't about replacing aggregators — it's about giving your existing customers a better way to order directly from you. Customers who already know your Chinese takeaway don't need a marketplace to find you. A direct link, QR code, or social media post is all it takes to shift repeat orders away from platforms that take 25%+ of every sale.

Can I use this alongside Just Eat or Deliveroo?

Absolutely. Most of our customers run both. Aggregators are great for discovery and reaching new customers. TypeMenu is for converting those customers into direct, commission-free repeat orders. The two work well side by side.

Do you provide delivery drivers?

No. TypeMenu is an ordering platform, not a logistics company. You handle your own deliveries or offer collection — which means you stay in control of the customer experience and don't pay rider fees.

Do I need technical skills to set up my Chinese takeaway online?

No technical skills required. TypeMenu is designed to be set up by anyone. Most businesses are live within 30–60 minutes, and we're happy to help if you need onboarding support.

Do I need any special hardware?

No. Everything runs in the browser — your dashboard, kitchen display, and your customers' storefront. Any phone, tablet, or computer you already have will work.

What happens to my customer data?

Your data is always yours. You can export customers, orders, and reports at any time. We never sell or share your data, and we're fully GDPR compliant.

Can I cancel at any time?

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