Takeaway EPOS and commission-free ordering in Manchester
ChefSynk is based in Manchester. Set-up and support come from our own team, remotely or on site by arrangement. One till takes your counter, phone, website and app orders, and on Growth and Complete your Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats orders land on the same screen, so a busy night in Manchester runs from one place instead of a counter full of tablets.

What you get with ChefSynk in Manchester
A team down the road
Onboarding and support come from our Manchester team, remotely or on site by arrangement. The people who set up your till and your ordering site are the same people who pick up the phone when you call, and they work in the same city as you.
Keep more of each order
Marketplaces take up to about 35% of an order, by third-party estimates from November 2026. On your own ChefSynk site you pay 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. A regular who orders from you directly is worth more to your shop than the same order through an app.

A city that keeps growing
Manchester’s population grew by 9.7% between the 2011 and 2021 censuses, from around 503,100 to 552,000 people. More homes within delivery range means more regulars to win back from the apps with your own ordering site and app.
Every cuisine on one till
Chicken and burger shops are the largest named group among Manchester’s 918 independent takeaways, at 140, ahead of 106 Chinese and 82 Indian takeaways. Whatever you cook, smart modifiers and meal deals ring up in a few taps and reach the kitchen exactly as the customer ordered them.
Marketplace orders without the tablets
On Growth and Complete, Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats orders arrive in the same queue as your own. Change a price or mark a dish out of stock once, and it updates on every platform, your ordering site and your till.
Your own drivers, tracked
The driver app assigns deliveries to your own drivers and streams their location live, so customers follow their order to the door and your team takes fewer calls asking where it is. The driver app is an add-on at £10 a month per driver.
Questions from Manchester takeaways
Can someone come to my shop to set it up?
Yes, by arrangement. Most set-up is done remotely, and our Manchester team can visit for hardware and training. Either way, the same team stays with you after go-live.
How quickly can I start taking orders on my own site?
Your ordering site uses the same menu as your till, so nothing is typed twice. We agree a go-live date with you on the demo call, planned around your opening hours so you never lose a service.
Does ChefSynk work with my Deliveroo and Just Eat accounts?
Yes, on Growth and Complete. You keep your Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats accounts. Their orders arrive in ChefSynk with your own, and menu, price and stock changes sync to each platform.
What hardware do I need?
ChefSynk runs on Android, iPad and Windows, and pairs with thermal printers, cash drawers and card readers, so you can often keep the kit you already have. Our Manchester team can advise on anything new before you buy it.
Do I have to stop selling on the apps?
No. Many takeaways keep the apps for new customers and move their regulars to their own site, where there is no commission. The commission calculator shows what that could be worth for your shop.
Where do the Manchester figures on this page come from?
They count independent takeaways in the Manchester City Council area on the Food Standards Agency food hygiene register, as analysed by ChefSynk in November 2026. The cuisine mix is estimated from shop names, so shops with a general name are counted as other and unclassified.
