EPOS and online ordering for Chinese takeaways
Long menus, set meals for the family and a phone that rings all evening: a Chinese takeaway asks a lot of its till. ChefSynk keeps every dish and option close at hand, sends each order to the kitchen as it was taken, and adds your own ordering site and app, with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats orders on the same screen on Growth and Complete.
Built for how a Chinese shop runs
Long menus, quick to find
Hot-keys and pre-configured menus keep your best sellers on the first screen, and every dish carries its own options, from extra sauce to swapping the rice. Order entry stays fast even on a long menu, at the counter and on the phone.
Set meals and meal deals
Build a set meal once, with its choices of mains and sides, and it rings up at one price on the till, the kiosk, your website and your app. Customers build it themselves online, and the kitchen sees every chosen dish on the ticket.
Phone orders without the notepad
Phone orders go straight into the till instead of onto a notepad, so they reach the kitchen with the same detail as a website order. On Growth and Complete, collection and delivery orders are consolidated on the dispatch display, ready for the customer or the driver.
Your own ordering site and app
Your menu on your own domain and in a white-label app, in your colours. 0% commission. Customers pay a 50p + VAT platform fee on website and app orders. Pages are built for local search, with structured data and clean URLs.
Every dish to the right station
On Growth and Complete, station routing on the kitchen display sends each part of an order to the wok, the fryer or the pass, and all-day counts show how many portions of each dish are on order. When something runs out, one tap takes it off every channel.
Deliveries tracked to the door
The driver app assigns deliveries by zone, records proof of delivery and handles cash collection, with end-of-shift reconciliation. Customers follow their order on a live map instead of calling the shop. The driver app is an add-on at £10 a month per driver.

Questions
Can ChefSynk handle my full menu?
Yes, however many dishes it has. Before the demo, send us your menu as it stands and we load it with your set meals and options, so you can judge ChefSynk on your own dishes.
Can customers choose dishes for a set meal online?
Yes. The set meal shows its choices on your website and app, the customer picks their dishes, and the kitchen receives exactly that selection, priced as one deal.
Do I still need the marketplace tablets?
No, on Growth and Complete. Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats orders arrive in ChefSynk with your own, and menu, price and stock changes go back to each platform from one place.
Can I see my margin on each dish?
Yes. Inventory works out real food cost per dish, per category and per channel as orders are taken, so you know which dishes earn their place on the menu and which need a new price.
What hardware works with ChefSynk?
Android tablets, iPads and Windows devices, with thermal printers, cash drawers and card readers. Bring a list of what you use now to the demo and we will tell you what can stay.
What does it cost to sell on my own site?
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.
