Menuthere vs ChefOnline
ChefOnline, run by London-based Le Chef PLC, gives UK restaurants and takeaways their own online ordering website, mobile apps, a partner app for taking orders and table reservations, plus a listing on its nationwide chefonline.co.uk marketplace; it also sells EPoS, digital marketing and menu printing. Restaurants apply through a UK-only registration form and the ChefOnline team helps set up the menu, delivery areas and go-live date. Online ordering is advertised from £3 a day ex. VAT (£90 a month by its own FAQ); no commission or card-processing rate is published, and the chefonline.co.uk terms let ChefOnline charge diners £0.40 per online order.
