Takeaway EPOS and commission-free ordering in Leeds
Leeds has 908 independent takeaways, and on a busy evening across the city that means orders arriving from a lot of directions at once. ChefSynk brings the counter, the phone, your own website and app and, on Growth and Complete, Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats into one till, with set-up and support from our Manchester team, remotely or on site by arrangement.

What you get with ChefSynk in Leeds
Support from across the Pennines
Leeds is a short trip for our team. Most set-ups happen over a remote session on your till, from loading the menu to testing the printers, and when you want someone at the counter for hardware or staff training, we book a visit around your trading hours rather than in the middle of them.
A city still adding people
Leeds grew by 8.1% between the 2011 and 2021 censuses, from around 751,500 to 812,000 people, faster than England as a whole at 6.6%. It ranked second for total population among England’s 309 local authority areas. Every new street inside your delivery radius is a household you can win directly rather than through an app.
Built for a Chinese-led takeaway scene
Chinese takeaways are the largest named group among Leeds’ 908 independents, at 143, with 73 Indian and 68 chicken and burger shops behind them. Long menus with set meals and add-ons are where a slow till costs you most, so ChefSynk keeps every dish and option a tap or two away and sends each order to the kitchen exactly as it was taken.
What the apps take
Third-party estimates from Whito and DineOpen, November 2026, put Deliveroo at about 20–35% of an order, Just Eat at about 14–30% and Uber Eats at about 15–35%. Orders through your own ChefSynk site carry none of that. 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.

Kitchen screens instead of paper
On Growth and Complete, the kitchen display routes each ticket to the right station and shows how long it has been waiting, with colour-coded timers. Dishes that run out can be marked off in one tap, and they disappear from the till, the kiosk and your ordering site at once.
One menu across every channel
Change a price in ChefSynk and it updates on your till, your website and your app and, on Growth and Complete, on Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats as well. No more editing four menus on a Sunday night and hoping they all match by Friday.
Questions from Leeds takeaways
Do you have anyone based in Leeds?
Our team works from Manchester, and Leeds is close enough for a planned visit whenever you need one. Day-to-day help happens remotely, which is usually the quickest way to sort out a problem in the middle of service.
Can I keep my existing card terminal?
ChefSynk pairs with thermal printers, cash drawers and card readers, and runs on Android, iPad and Windows. Tell us what is on your counter now and we will say on the demo what can stay and what, if anything, needs replacing.
Will my Just Eat menu need rebuilding?
No. On Growth and Complete your ChefSynk menu syncs two ways with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats, so items and prices stay the same everywhere. You keep your existing marketplace accounts and the customers who find you there.
Can ChefSynk run more than one Leeds shop?
Yes. Multi-store management, included with Complete, lets you compare sites, push a menu or price change to one shop or all of them, and give area managers access to just their own locations.
What happens when the internet goes down?
The till carries on. Orders are queued on the device and synced as soon as the connection returns, so the counter keeps serving while the router reboots.
Where do the Leeds numbers come from?
We counted independent takeaways in the Leeds City Council area on the Food Standards Agency food hygiene register in November 2026. Cuisine is estimated from each shop’s name, which is why 555 shops with general names sit under other and unclassified.
