Takeaway EPOS and commission-free ordering in Bradford
Bradford’s three biggest named takeaway groups are almost level: 66 Chinese, 65 Indian and 61 chicken and burger shops among the district’s 696 independents. ChefSynk is built for that kind of competition, with fast order entry, your own ordering site and app, and set-up and support from our Manchester team, remotely or on site by arrangement.

What you get with ChefSynk in Bradford
Three cuisines, neck and neck
With Chinese, Indian and chicken and burger takeaways separated by a handful of shops, regulars in Bradford have plenty of choice. Bringing them back to order direct is where your margin is made, and loyalty, vouchers and discounts on your own site give them a reason to skip the app next time.
A district that keeps growing
Bradford’s population grew by 4.6% between the 2011 and 2021 censuses, from around 522,500 to 546,400, ahead of the 3.7% rise for Yorkshire and The Humber. The district ranked seventh for total population among England’s 309 local authority areas.
Curry orders without the mistakes
Indian menus pile up choices fast: heat level, rice or naan, extra sides. Smart modifiers keep each choice to one tap on the till, and on Growth and Complete modifier highlighting on the kitchen display makes sure the curry that was ordered mild leaves the pass mild.
What the marketplaces charge
On a Bradford order, Deliveroo’s commission runs at about 20–35%, Just Eat’s at about 14–30% and Uber Eats’ at about 15–35%, by Whito and DineOpen’s third-party estimates from November 2026. A Bradford regular who orders from your own site instead keeps that money in your till. 0% commission. Customers pay a 50p + VAT platform fee on website and app orders. Your own ordering site and app come with Complete, or as the £55-a-month Branded Mobile App & Website add-on.

Menus in more than one language
The self-order kiosk supports several languages out of the box, shows photos and allergens beside each dish and takes card, contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Walk-in customers can browse and pay at their own pace while your staff stay on the pans.
Help from over the hill
Our Manchester team sets up your menu, printers and ordering site remotely and visits Bradford by arrangement for installation days and staff training. After go-live you deal with the same people who set you up.
Stock that takes itself off sale
Recipe-based inventory takes ingredients off stock as orders are rung up, and a low-stock alert can take a dish off the till, the kiosk and your website automatically. No more apologising to a customer for a dish you ran out of an hour ago.
Questions from Bradford takeaways
Is ChefSynk only for big takeaways?
No. Starter covers a single shop’s EPOS with unlimited terminals, and as you grow, Growth and Complete add the kitchen display and marketplace orders, with multi-site tools on Complete. Every plan is a fixed monthly price shown on our pricing page.
Can I take marketplace orders without extra tablets?
Yes, on Growth and Complete. Orders from Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats drop into the same queue as the counter and the phone, and the tablets can go back in the drawer.
Can I see which dishes make money?
Yes. Inventory shows gross margin per dish, per category and per channel, and analytics tracks sales by day-part, so you can see which dishes pay their way and which only fill the menu.
Does the kiosk work for a small shop?
It suits any shop where the counter queue slows down service. The kiosk pulls its menu and prices from your till, so there is nothing extra to keep up to date, and upsell prompts suggest sides and drinks as customers order.
How do I move my menu across?
Send us your menu and we load it onto ChefSynk with you, including modifiers and meal deals, and check it on the till before you go live. The same menu then feeds your kiosk and your ordering site.
What do the Bradford figures cover?
They count independent takeaways in the Bradford Metropolitan District Council area, which covers the whole district rather than just the city centre, on the Food Standards Agency food hygiene register as analysed by ChefSynk in November 2026. Cuisine is estimated from shop names.
