Online takeaway ordering…

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

Well in a nutshell, it means that you will be able to order from your local takeaway online (as long as they decide to register with us!). But that is not all. There are many other features and benefits that we have planned for the site that should enhance both our customers’ ordering experience as well as help our takeaway partners interact with their customers – therefore improving their service offering.

For now we would like to share some of the key features we have planned for you…

  1. Customer loyalty and points scheme
  2. Specify delivery or collection
  3. Ability to specify a delivery time (ie order at work for delivery at home)
  4. Pay by cash on delivery or secure card payment online
  5. Ability to order from multiple local takeaways on the one order
  6. Choose from special online offers or meal deals from select takeaways
  7. Regular competitions where you can win discount vouchers, plus maybe more
  8. Save your favourite order for easy retrieval
  9. Tell a friend button (about your favourite Parmo!) and add to social media websites
  10. Incentives and reward schemes (ie for recommending a takeaway)
  11. Takeaway rating systems and the option to leave feedback
  12. Latest local takeaway news and developments

As the site develops and we get feedback we will look to add additional features. If you have any ideas yourself in the meantime, please let us know and we’ll bear them in mind for future updates. If you have any questions on the above features, just ask away!

Hello…

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Hello, and welcome to the first post of the Boro Takeaways blog. Now if you’ve visited the site in the hope of ordering your local takeaway online, then I’m  afraid you are a little too early, and for that I apologise. In that instance might I suggest Biancos in Eston (fine fine Pizzas) on 01642 459945 or Pizza Pan in Acklam (Parmos) on 01642 822122. Just let them know who recommended them!

If you are slightly out of the Middlesbrough area then unfortunately I cannot offer any suggestions (just yet!). Not to worry though, my team and I are on the case and will be approaching as many takeaway food establishments as we can throughout Teesside, Cleveland and North Yorkshire – once we get our sales act together. We also plan to offer some tasty incentives to those who can persuade their local takeaways to sign up to Boro Takeways.

Just so you know, October is our focus for the launch date – the website and backend systems are being developed as I write this and we are currently mapping out our PR, sales and marketing strategy. Hopefully come launch date we have enough takeaways and restaurants in our catchment area to make sure everyone gets a fair slice of the pie (or pizza as it may be).

That’s it for the first post. There will be plenty of developments over the coming days, weeks and months to keep you updated (and hopefully interested). We look forward to your continued feedback and support to make this service a thriving success for the region.

In the meantime why not become a fan on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/borotakeaways and be eligible for future discount offers, competitions and other incentives. And if you are a Twitterer you can also follow our Tweets at www.twitter.com/borotakeaways.

Happy eating!
