What you get with ChefSynk in Coventry
More families within reach
Coventry’s population grew by 8.9% between the 2011 and 2021 censuses, from around 317,000 to 345,300. The number of children under 15 rose by 9.9% over the same period, and the city ranked 25th for total population among England’s 309 local authority areas.
Fish and chips close behind
Coventry’s 48 fish and chip shops are the second-largest named group after chicken and burgers. A fryer-led kitchen needs orders in the right sequence, and on Growth and Complete the kitchen display’s live timers show how long each ticket has waited, so nothing sits under the lamp for too long.
The share the apps keep
Marketplaces keep a share of each order: for Deliveroo about 20–35%, for Just Eat about 14–30% and for Uber Eats about 15–35%, by third-party estimates from Whito and DineOpen in November 2026. Your own site skips that share entirely. 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.

Supported from Manchester
Our Manchester team builds and tests your Coventry set-up remotely before go-live, and comes to the shop by arrangement when you want installation or training in person. After launch, you talk to the same team that set you up.
Let the queue serve itself
A self-order kiosk takes walk-in orders while your team cooks, with a big-button menu, photos and allergens, and payment by card, contactless, Apple Pay or Google Pay. It reads menus and prices from your till, so there is nothing to type twice.
Stock and margins in view
Inventory tracks ingredients by recipe, raises low-stock alerts and shows wastage and variance against what you should have used. With real food cost per dish, you can price your meal deals on numbers instead of guesswork.
Questions from Coventry takeaways
Can you visit my Coventry shop?
Yes, by arrangement with our Manchester team. We usually visit for installation and staff training, once the menu and devices are already set up remotely.
How do refunds and split bills work?
Refunds, split bills and tipping are built into the EPOS, with Stripe card payments, and every payment shows on your Z-report under its payment method, ready for your accountant.
Can I sell on Just Eat and my own site at the same time?
Yes. You can keep the apps for new customers and use your own site for regulars. On Growth and Complete, marketplace orders join your own on one till, and your own site carries no commission.
Does the kiosk take card payments?
Yes. The kiosk takes card, contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and sends a receipt to the printer, by email or by SMS.
How does the menu stay the same everywhere?
You change it once in ChefSynk, and it updates on the till, the kiosk, the website and the app, and on Growth and Complete on each marketplace too.
Can I track my drivers?
Yes. The driver app streams each driver’s location live, so you and your customers can see where every delivery is, and it queues its updates if the signal drops and syncs them when the signal is back. The driver app is an add-on at £10 a month per driver.
What do I see at the end of the night?
Shift reports and cash-up come straight from the EPOS, with voids and payment-method splits, and on Growth and Complete the owner mobile app compares today against last week in a tap.
