69,500 Pre-Orders & Counting

Collecting and processing pre-orders is an age-old problem for restauranteurs; one that can often result in lost or incorrect orders, disgruntled customers and wasted time and money.

Enter TellTheChef.com, an innovative restaurant pre-order system that does away with lost scraps of paper and service time, offering you a streamlined online operation, improved customer service levels and reduced marketing costs. Collecting meal orders in advance becomes a cinch, with customers' requirements sent direct to your kitchen.

Here's how it works:

  1. Your customers receive a tailored email invitation to place their meal pre-order on TellTheChef.com.
  2. Your kitchen receives their advance food and drink order in plenty of time, reducing the need for guesswork and waste.
  3. You can print out food choices, name cards, kitchen tickets, table plans and order sheets, all at the touch of a button.
  4. Your guests enjoy a perfectly-planned meal, leaving your restaurant happy, full and hopefully already planning their return.
  5. Launched in 2009, TellTheChef.com has already successfully processed food and drink pre-orders for clients right across the hospitality industry, including Malmaison, Hotel du Vin and the Royal Opera House.

If you'd like to make your business smarter with TellTheChef.com, getting started involves no off-putting start-up costs or monthly fees. The only cost is 10p per meal ordered in advance, with a free £5 credit to get started. And if you're looking to use the service for less than 100 covers a month or for a one-off event, we'll even give you up to £10 free credit a month.
