What you get with ChefSynk in Liverpool
An easy drive from our team
Liverpool is close to our Manchester base, so a visit for hardware and training is simple to arrange. Most of the work, from loading your menu to connecting your printers, happens remotely before that, so the day we come out is about your staff rather than paperwork.
A growing local market
Liverpool’s population rose by 4.2% between the 2011 and 2021 censuses, from around 466,400 to 486,100, and it ranked 10th for total population among England’s 309 local authority areas. That is a lot of front doors within reach of a shop that delivers.
A tie at the top
Chinese and chicken and burger shops each make up 71 of Liverpool’s independent takeaways, followed by 46 fish and chip shops. A Chinese menu full of set meals and a chicken shop built on meals and sauces need different things from a till, and ChefSynk handles both with modifiers and meal deals that ring up the same way on every channel.
Your own drivers, your own customers
The driver app auto-assigns jobs by zone and load, gives drivers in-app navigation and records proof of delivery with a photo or signature. Cash collected at the door is reconciled at the end of the shift, so the till and the drivers’ takings agree before you lock up. The driver app is an add-on at £10 a month per driver.
The cost of selling through apps
Deliveroo takes about 20–35% of an order, Just Eat about 14–30% and Uber Eats about 15–35%, according to third-party estimates from Whito and DineOpen in November 2026. Moving a regular onto your own site removes that cut. 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.

Live tracking for every order
Customers follow their order on a branded tracking page on your domain, with the driver’s location streamed live and status updates by SMS, email or push. Fewer calls asking where the food is means more hands on the fryer and the wok.
Questions from Liverpool takeaways
Can your team visit my shop in Liverpool?
Yes, when you want one. We plan the visit around your opening hours, usually for hardware and staff training, and handle everything else remotely so the visit itself stays short.
Does it handle collection and delivery orders together?
Yes, on Growth and Complete. The dispatch display brings every dish from each station into one ticket, whether it is waiting for a customer at the counter or a driver at the door, with a bag check-list so nothing goes out short.
How do customers order from my own site?
Your ordering site sits on your own domain in your colours, and is designed for phones first. Customers pay with Stripe, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and their orders reach your till and kitchen the same way counter orders do.
Can I run loyalty and vouchers?
Yes. The ordering site has a built-in loyalty, voucher and discount engine, so you can reward regulars for ordering direct instead of through a marketplace, and see in analytics how much of your trade comes back.
Do I need new hardware?
Often not. ChefSynk runs on Android, iPad and Windows devices and pairs with thermal printers, cash drawers and card readers. We check your kit on the demo before suggesting anything new.
How were the Liverpool figures worked out?
ChefSynk counted independent takeaways in the Liverpool City Council area on the Food Standards Agency food hygiene register in November 2026. The cuisine split is estimated from shop names, so it is a guide rather than an exact count.
