A NEW website which will allow customers to order takeaways to their homes is set to launch in Barrow next month.

The Takeaway Site is the new platform and app where people can order from local takeaways.

Takeaways can partner with the website by signing up to their platform. They are then provided with a dedicated profile to showcase their menu, manage orders, and reach a wider customer base.

The service is set to launch on October 7 and already 37 takeaways have signed up, said a business spokesman.

The business is hoping to hit 50 takeaways before the launch.

"We also offer marketing support, and customer feedback tools to help them grow," said the business spokesman.

The Takeaway Site is going to employ up to 10 delivery drivers full-time to work for the company delivering food to hungry customers as well as up to 10 customer service representatives to field any calls. 

The business spokesman said it would offer 24/7 customer services 'so we can resolve any issues, promptly and efficiently'.

"We saw an opportunity to support the local community by providing a more convenient way for people to discover and order from local takeaways, while also helping small businesses reach more customers in an increasingly digital world," added the spokesman.

The spokesman said the response they have had to the business has been 'overwhelming' and so they are looking forward to launching in Barrow.

"Takeaways are especially happy we provide our own delivery drivers," they said.

"It's nice reaching out to takeaways face to face - today's world is mainly digital, so I think a lot of takeaway owners appreciate this."

The business is also offering five 'black cards' to five people which will entitle them to free takeaways for life and is looking to gift one to Furness Homeless - which will entitle their 14 residents to free takeaways. To take part visit the link here.
