Takeaway Website Design in Devon
Every order that comes through a delivery app costs you commission — often a painful slice of an already tight margin. A good takeaway website gives customers a direct way to order or call, so the apps become one channel rather than the only channel.
We build takeaway websites for fish and chip shops, pizzerias, Chinese, Indian, Turkish and kebab houses across Devon — built for hungry people on phones who want to order in the next two minutes.
Who this page is for
Takeaways and delivery-first food businesses anywhere in Devon. Whether you currently rely entirely on Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats, have a dated website that nobody orders from, or are opening a new shop and want to start with direct orders from day one — the approach on this page applies.
The problems we see on takeaway websites
- All orders flow through third-party apps, with commission taken on every single one
- The menu online is out of date, so calls start with “do you still do…?”
- No click-to-call — customers must copy a number out of a paragraph
- Delivery areas and minimum orders are nowhere to be found
- Opening hours differ between Google, Facebook and the website
- The site takes so long to load that hungry customers give up and open an app instead
What we build for takeaways
A fast, mobile-first site with your full menu as a readable web page, a direct ordering route — an integrated ordering system if you want online orders, or prominent one-tap calling if the phone works better for your shop — plus clear delivery areas, minimum orders, collection times and opening hours.
We mark the whole thing up with schema so Google shows accurate hours and understands your cuisine and area — which matters for searches like “Chinese takeaway open now” where being visibly open wins the order.
Features that matter for takeaways
- One-tap calling from every page — the fastest route to an order
- Online ordering integration when you want it, without app-level commission
- A menu that is quick to update when prices or dishes change
- Delivery area and minimum order clearly stated up front
- Opening hours structured so Google displays them correctly
- Collection vs delivery information that answers questions before the call
- Allergen information where customers expect to find it
Local SEO for takeaways
Takeaway searches are intensely local and intensely time-sensitive: “kebab near me”, “pizza delivery Torquay”, “fish and chips open now”. The winners are decided by the Google map pack, and the map pack is decided largely by your Google Business Profile — its categories, hours, photos, reviews and the website behind it.
A website that confirms your menu, cuisine and delivery area gives the profile authority, and gives customers who click through a reason to order direct. That combination is the whole game for takeaway visibility.
Your website and your packaging from the same team
Devon Websites is the web design studio of MyPacking — the Exeter business that already supplies branded boxes, bags and cups to takeaways across the UK. If your pizza boxes and your website should carry the same brand (they should), one team can handle both.
Starting a new shop? The website, the branding and the packaging can be planned together from day one — consistent, faster and usually cheaper than buying each piece separately.
Typical page structure for a takeaway website
- Home — menu highlights, order/call now, opening status
- Menu — the full menu, categorised and searchable
- Order — online ordering or clear call-to-order guidance
- Delivery — areas, minimums, times and collection details
- Find us — map, parking and directions for collection
For multi-cuisine or multi-branch takeaways we adapt the structure — each branch or cuisine gets what it needs without duplicating pages for the sake of it.

Frequently asked questions
Can customers order directly through the website?
Yes, if you want that. We integrate direct ordering systems with far lower costs than the big apps. For shops where phone orders work better, we design around one-tap calling instead — honest advice about which suits your volume comes free.
Should we leave Just Eat and Deliveroo?
Usually not — they bring discovery you would otherwise miss. The goal is balance: let the apps find you new customers while your website converts regulars into direct orders that do not carry commission.
How quickly can a takeaway website go live?
Takeaway sites are focused, so they move fast — typically live within two weeks once we have your menu and details. If you are opening soon, tell us the date and we will work to it.
Can we change menu prices ourselves?
Yes, in minutes. Menus are editable pages, not PDFs or images, so a price change does not need a designer — or a reprint.
Will the website show whether we are open right now?
Your hours are structured so Google displays open/closed status accurately in search results, and the site itself makes hours impossible to miss. Keeping one source of truth for hours is one of the simplest wins for a takeaway.
