Do you run a Chinese restaurant?
An online ordering site for your Chinese restaurant
On a €26 ticket a platform takes €3.12. Here it takes nothing.
€97 a month, free setup. No lock-in, no commission.
Six details, and your area is open. Nothing is charged until you pay the set-up fee.
A menu of a hundred and twenty numbered dishes, sharing menus, regulars who order “the 47 and the 63”. The site has to marry that way of working, not replace it with one of its own.
What commission costs, in your shop
A hundred orders,
average order €26
For a lot of businesses in your trade, that is an ordinary month. At the rate Uber Eats publishes when you deliver yourself, the lowest on the Belgian market, here is how it works out.
On a platform
€312
of commission a month, at 12% on €2,600 of sales
With Food It Be
€97
of subscription a month, whatever your volume
That is €2,580 staying with you over a year. Are your figures different? Run the numbers with yours.
Nothing forces you off Takeaway or Uber Eats. You can keep the platform and your own site: the platform brings in new customers, your site takes back the regulars, the ones who order every week and cost you the most in commission.
The numbers stay
Your customers know the 47. Nothing stops you calling the dish “47. Sweet and sour chicken”, and dish search is there from every page. There is no separate “number” field: the number lives inside the name, exactly as it does on your paper menu.
A long menu stays readable
A hundred and twenty dishes organised into categories, reachable straight from the top of the page. Nobody scrolls for two minutes.
The dish for four
It sells like a product, with its sizes and its extras. What does not exist yet is the composed menu where the customer takes two starters and three mains from separate lists.
No lock-in
Try it yourself,
with nothing to install
A demo pizzeria is waiting for you, already filled in, with several years of orders behind it. You walk into it as if it were your own. Nothing to install, nothing to prepare, and nobody chases you afterwards.
Want to log in to its admin yourself? Ask for trial access: an answer within one working day.
What happens next
Six details,
and we type up your menu
-
Your area opens
The name of your business, your company number, your name, your email, your phone. Under a minute, and nothing is charged.
-
You pay your first month
From your area, by Bancontact, card or bank transfer. The setup itself is not charged to you. That payment is what starts your site being built.
-
You send us a photo of your menu
We type it up for you, however long it is. You check it and correct it before anything goes live.
-
Your site opens in your name
On your own .be domain. If you ever leave, you keep it.
Once you have paid, your site is already standing. Three things are left to set: your online payment account, the mailbox on your domain, and your menu, which we key in. The rest happens on its own.
What you can set
Fitted to the way
you actually work
- Dish search from any page of the site
- Plenty of categories, with quick navigation
- Extras single choice or multiple, compulsory or not
- Heat level as an option
- Pickup and delivery, each switched on separately
Those settings are the ones for your trade. Your dashboard holds more than a hundred, across fifteen screens: the menu and its options, opening hours, delivery, promotions, loyalty, your pages, your staff. You change them yourself, without asking anyone, and the site follows straight away.
What is not there
Two gaps,
said before you sign
Ordering software always promises everything. Here is what this one does not do yet for your trade, and what does the same job in the meantime. Better read here than on a Saturday at seven.
No dish number field
The number lives in the name, “47. Sweet and sour chicken”, as it does on your paper menu. The dish search finds it from any page.
No set menus
The menu for two sells as a product with its sizes. The customer does not pick two starters and three mains from separate lists.
The price, in full
It is all written down,
nothing gets added later
The setup
Free. It covers typing up your menu, your .be domain name and going live. You pay nothing to start.
The subscription
€97 excluding VAT a month, whatever your order volume. No commission on your sales.
The payment fees
They go to your payment provider, not to us. With Mollie, in Belgium: €0.39 per Bancontact payment, €0.25 + 1.80% on a European consumer card.
The term
There is none. You stop from your area whenever you like, and your site stays online until the end of the month already paid for.
The first month is a month like any other: €97 excluding VAT, or €117.37 including VAT. See the pricing in detail.
Food It Be is a brand of ZIXAR, in Carnières, Belgium. Your data stays in Europe.
The questions we get
Three straight answers
My menu runs to a hundred and twenty dishes. Do you key all of it in?
Yes, and it is included in the setup, whatever the length of the menu. We work from your paper menu or from your file, and you read it over before it goes live.
Customers search by number. Will that work?
There is no “dish number” field as such. What numbered menus do is put the number inside the name, “47. Sweet and sour chicken”. Dish search is there from every page, and the categories sit on two levels with a bar that follows you down the screen.
We serve at midday and in the evening, with a break in the afternoon.
The two services are set separately. The site closes between 2.30pm and 5.30pm and reopens on its own, showing the reopening time rather than an empty page.
No lock-in
