Case Studies

The following are case studies of small hospitality businesses, large corporate clients, caterers and chains.

Red Dragon Chinese Takeaway, Glossop, Derbyshire

Red Dragon took back 40% of its customers within 5 weeks, and within 3 months stopped using 3rd-party ordering portals/websites like Just Eat and Hungryhouse and now receives 100% of its orders directly.

Suwen Wu, Manager:

“I actually spent over a year looking at all the products and services out there ... A fter it was installed on our site we managed, in just a few weeks, to get about 30 to 40 per cent of our customers coming to us directly when ordering.  Eventually, we increased that to 100 per cent - and we left Just Eat altogether!  Now we receive all of our orders and payments directly.   Also, we’re customising and adding extra functions to the system to make it even better.”

Komal Balti Indian Restaurant, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Komal has achieved operational efficiencies by using the online ordering system as well as the in-store ordering system for waiter-led ordering and automated printing at reception and kitchen.

Sam Gmichael, Manager:

"Having this system feels like being Domino’s or McDonald’s in the sense that customers are kept informed via email and SMS texts but, importantly, orders are automatically routed both to the kitchen and reception.  The system works well and the whole team here are very happy with it because it makes their work time easier yet totally efficient."

BurgerIM, Humble, Texas, USA

BurgerIM in Humble (Texas, USA) reorganised its website and marketing spend to improve online visibility, eliminate unnecessary marketing, and incease marketing efficiency as well as increase physical footfall to the store.

Andre Holder, Manager:

“I cannot recommend Food-Ordering.co.uk enough. The difference in quality became apparent almost immediately. The support and knowledge/expertise offered has really benefited our business. We stopped wasting money unnecessarily and started thinking about 'digital' in a very different way that makes a difference to our bottom line. It's great to work with people who know what they are doing.”

Mexita Stpringburn, Glasgow, Scotland

Mexita Stpringburn has dramatically reduced commission payments to 3rd-party ordering sites and has gained full control of its online ordering and engages directly with customers, without having to deal with middle-men.

Muhammad Hasan, Manager: Video

"I wanted to be able to own and control the sales process and customer relationship. I chose the food-ordering.co.uk system which I thought was the best for my needs and I knew I’d have full control over everything. After the system was installed on our site we managed, in just a few weeks, for our direct sales to surpass those coming from third parties and we keep pushing more and more to take our customers back. "
