Say yes to the next village: expand your takeaway delivery area with zones that each set their own fee and minimum

Friday, 7pm. Someone in the village four miles out searches for a Chinese takeaway. You don't deliver there, so they order from whoever does.

Most takeaways stop at one radius because one flat fee doesn't cover the longer trip. You can expand your takeaway delivery area without losing money on it, if each area pays its own way.

Say yes to the next village, on your terms

Draw delivery zones on the map in GofoodPOS. Each zone gets its own delivery fee and minimum order, and your own drivers take the orders out.

• Zones you draw
• Fee per zone
• Minimum per zone
• Your own drivers

Each zone sets its own fee and minimum

With GofoodPOS online ordering you set zones by radius, by postcode, or by drawing the area on a map. Close streets keep a low fee. The next village gets a higher fee and a bigger minimum order. You decide where it's worth the drive.

Four more orders a week is £5,616 a year

The average UK takeaway order is £27 (Aqua survey). Say a new zone brings in 4 extra orders a week. That's £108 a week, or £5,616 a year, as an example.

One radius, one fee

• Postcode outside the radius, order refused
• Same fee for the next street and the next village
