How Ahmed Saved £900/Month by Ditching Deliveroo
Ahmed runs a kebab shop in Manchester. Great food, loyal customers — but Deliveroo was eating his profits alive.
£900 a Month to Deliveroo
Ahmed does about £3,000/month through Deliveroo. After their 30% cut, he's handing over £900 every month. That's rent money. Gone to an app.
His Customers Aren't Really His
Ahmed can't email his customers. Can't text them offers. Can't build loyalty. Deliveroo owns the relationship — Ahmed just cooks the food.
"I Don't Know Tech"
Ahmed tried to build a website once. Spent 3 weekends on Wix, gave up. He's a chef, not a web developer. The thought of "going digital" stresses him out.
QR Code on Every Table
We built Ahmed his own branded ordering page in 48 hours. He printed QR codes for his tables. Customers scan, order, pay — all directly to Ahmed. No app. No commission.
"Order Direct — Save £2"
Ahmed put a sign in his window: "Order direct on our website, save £2 off your meal." Regulars switched instantly. He shares the link on Instagram. Orders pour in.
£900 Back in His Pocket
Same orders. Same customers. But now Ahmed keeps 100% of every sale. He's saving nearly a grand a month — and he owns his customer list. No more middlemen.
