Aexir for Chinese takeaways

Your own ordering app and website for your Chinese takeaway

An online ordering system for your Chinese takeaway: long numbered menus, set meals and Friday night rushes, handled by an app and website with your name on them, for a flat monthly fee at published prices.

Aexir for Chinese takeaways: branded restaurant ordering app on mobile

A Chinese takeaway menu is one of the hardest things to put online properly. Two hundred numbered dishes, small and large portions, curry sauce on the side, set meals for two, three and four, and a phone that does not stop ringing between six and nine on a Friday. Aexir builds you a branded iOS and Android app plus an ordering website that handles all of it, takes payment, and sends the order straight to your counter. You pay one flat monthly fee at published prices.

What you get.

Built for long numbered menus

Keep your dish numbers exactly as customers know them. Set small and large portions, sauce and rice choices, and spice levels as options rather than separate items, so a 200 dish menu stays quick to browse on a phone.

Set meals and banquets that price themselves

Build set meals for two, three or four with fixed or swappable courses. Customers pick their combination in the app and the price updates as they go, so nobody phones up to check what is included.

The phone stops ringing at peak

Orders arrive typed, paid for and time stamped instead of shouted down a line while the wok is going. Fewer wrong dish numbers, fewer missed calls, and no queue of customers waiting on hold at half past seven.

Delivery and collection in one place

Customers choose delivery or collection at checkout. You set your delivery zones, minimum order and estimated times, and you can use partner couriers dispatched per order or your own driver.

Loyalty for the weekly regulars

Chinese takeaways live on repeat custom. Points or stamps are tracked automatically on every paid order, so the family that orders every Friday gets rewarded without a paper card to lose.

Push notifications for quiet nights

Send a message to everyone with your app in seconds. Useful for a midweek set meal offer, Chinese New Year opening hours, or letting regulars know you are open on a bank holiday.

How it works.

1

Send us your menu however you have it: a printed leaflet, a PDF, or a photo. We map every dish number, portion size, sauce option and set meal so the app matches the menu your customers already know.

2

We build your branded app and ordering website with your name, colours and photos. You review the whole menu and the design, and nothing goes public until you approve it.

3

We submit the app to the App Store and Google Play under your own brand. Most businesses are live within 30 days of signing up.

Orders arrive at your counter on the Aexir POS or your kitchen printer, already paid. You cook, you deliver or hand over, and the customer details stay on your list rather than a marketplace's.

From £1/day. A flat monthly fee at published prices.

Common questions.

Yes. Dishes keep their numbers, sit in the categories you already use, and support options such as small or large, boiled or fried rice, and sauce on the side. Customers can search by number or by name, which is faster than scrolling a paper menu.

Yes. Set meals can be fixed or let the customer choose between courses, with the price shown as they build it. You can also run banquet menus and add or remove them seasonally from your dashboard.

Open the dashboard on any phone or tablet and toggle the item off. It disappears from the app and the ordering website straight away, so no customer pays for something you cannot cook that night.

No. You can run your own app alongside the marketplaces and move customers across at your own pace. Every order that comes through your own channel carries a flat monthly fee at published prices, so the shift shows up in your margin as it happens.

Plans are £30, £40 and £50 a month excluding VAT depending on what you need, a flat monthly fee at published prices, with card processing at the published rates. Full details are on the pricing page.
