Mealzo Serves Up Success at the Restaurant Show Birmingham

Mealzo proudly participated in the What’s Cooking? 2024! We showcased the latest versions of our Epos Systems and Self-ordering Kiosk. Tap to learn more!

    <p>
        Mealzo proudly participated in the bustling atmosphere of Henry Colbeck's '<span style="font-weight:bold"><a href="https://www.colbeck.co.uk/whats-cooking-2024/"> What's Cooking? </a></span> 2024' event in Edinburgh. It was a day dedicated to the trade of fish and chips, food service, and takeaway/restaurant professionals, with brands such as Irn Bru and Heinz also making their presence felt. Amidst this dynamic crowd, Mealzo stood out, drawing attention from eager new faces and numerous partners gathered at the Royal Highland Centre.
    </p>
    <p>
        As the UK's largest 0% commission online food ordering portal, with thousands of partners from the southern reaches of Birmingham to the most northerly point in Scotland, Mealzo seized this opportunity to showcase its latest versions of its <span style="font-weight:bold"><a href="https://mealzoforbusiness.co.uk/Epos.php"> EPOS systems </a></span>and <span style="font-weight:bold"><a href="https://mealzoforbusiness.co.uk/Kiosk.php"> Self-Ordering Kiosk </a></span>. With a commitment to supporting local businesses, we were thrilled to connect with many of our partners who stopped by our stall to catch up and chat to us about the responsive assistance and guidance they had been getting in the capital from our support team. Additionally, we engaged with potential new partners and discovered their troubles with high commission-based platforms, and welcomed the team's fresh offering of an independent commission-free portal.    
    </p>
    <p>
        Our debut on the exhibition floor was immensely rewarding, resulting in an endless stream of guests, detracting attention even from the busy main stage near our stand! Our Self-Ordering Kiosk demo in particular was popular, with a queue springing up promptly after 'What's Cooking?' opened. Thank you to Henry Colbeck for their support in facilitating our exhibition, and to all who visited us at stand 24. We look forward to seeing you all at the next expo!

<p><H2>What is 1% for the Planet?</H2></p>
    <p>
        1% for the Planet is an amazing movement dedicated to taking care of our planet by focusing on environmental solutions. They support their non-profit partners which is very important, they are able to operate in sectors where they can target very specific issues with innovative solutions that are usually inaccessible by other parties.
    </p>
    
    
    <p><H3>How to get involved in 1% for the Planet?</H3></p>
    <p>
        To become a member, there are currently two different ways in which you can help. Firstly, by having your business donate 1% of its gross sales. In return, 1% for the planet provides advice and helps forge partnerships with other environmental non-profits who share values. This goes a long way in making a significant impact.
        The second way to join is to become an individual member. This means you can donate 1% of your salary to environmental non-profits.
    </p>
    <p>
        Then through a certification process, members provide annual documentation of their total sales and proof of monetary, volunteer and in-kind support to approved nonprofit partners.    
    </p>
    <p><H2>Protecting the Planet for Future Generations</H2></p>
    <p>
        "One Earth, One Home, One shared Future" is a simple statement of fact. We share one planet and are sustained by the health of its natural systems. It’s even more clear that protecting the Planet is not a luxury, it's fundamental to us all!
        The focus is on six key areas where environmental issues are arising. Climate, food, land, pollution, water, and wildlife.
    </p>
    <p>
        Climate is receiving a lot of attention in the news headlines, and changes are coming throughout government legislation to help combat the issues we face. Pollution is also being dealt with strict restrictions from lawmakers around the globe.
    </p>
    <p>
        Food and water are the very foundations on which our livelihood depends, and an effective and healthy ecosystem is crucial to everyone.
    </p>
    <p>
        Wildlife and land diversity are also key factors in preserving and protecting the planet for future generations.

        It's important to note that these trends and statistics may vary across different regions of the UK.

        But what exactly tickles the nation's tastebuds? The research results have unveiled a clear winner. Chinese food steals the crown as the nation's all-time favourite takeaway cuisine, with 45% of all takeaway searches dedicated to its deliciousness.

    <p>
        The love for takeaways doesn't stop there. Let's take a closer look at the ever-changing landscape of the UK takeaway trends. In Northern Ireland and Wales, Chinese cuisine reigns supreme, captivating the locals with its deep-fried sweet and sour pork balls, succulent crispy duck pancakes, flavourful egg fried rice, tantalising prawns in black bean sauce and mouthwatering stir-fried chow mein noodles. Indian cuisine also holds a special place in the hearts of the people here, although it doesn't quite surpass the popularity of Chinese or fast food options.
    </p>
    <p>
        Scotland and England as a whole embrace a wide range of international cuisines. Italian pizza, pasta and lasagne have become staples in the UK's takeaway scene, satisfying cravings for comforting and cheesy delights. Mexican tacos and quesadillas bring a burst of flavour and spice to the table, while Greek gyros and moussaka offer a taste of the Mediterranean. And of course, Indian curries in all their creamy and spicy glory have captured the hearts and palates of people across both countries, from mild and creamy korma to fiery vindaloo.
    </p>
    <p>
        But the passion for takeaways knows no bounds, reaching beyond these areas and into cities all across the country. Edinburgh, the vibrant capital of Scotland, proudly claims the title of the city that adores takeaways the most. With residents Googling takeaways 6,000+ times each month, it's clear that Edinburgh's appetite for indulgence knows no limits. Not far behind, Bristolians also share a deep affection for takeaways, securing a close second place. And let's not overlook the undeniable passion of Newcastle upon Tyne, which follows closely in third place.
    </p>
    <p>
        It seems that Englanders and Welshmen have a soft spot for Indian and Greek cuisine. Mouthwatering dishes such as butter chicken and tikka masala from India, as well as tzatziki and souvlaki from Greece, are enjoyed by many in both countries.
    </p>
    <p>
        Meanwhile, in Northern Ireland and Scotland, fast food still holds its sizzling appeal. However, health concerns have sparked a shift towards healthier choices. People are now embracing vegetarian or vegan options as tasty alternatives that not only satisfy their cravings but also support their well-being.
    </p>
    <p>
        It's clear that tastes vary greatly throughout the UK when it comes to takeaway foods. Whether you're in Edinburgh, Bristol, Newcastle, Glasgow or any other city in the UK, Mealzo is here to bring you a delightful takeaway experience at unbeatable prices – so why not mix things up every once in a while?

    </p> <p><H2>Chinese takeaway: a UK sensation!</H2></p>
    <p>
        With the UK's first Chinese restaurant opening its doors in 1908, Brits have been savouring the flavours of Chinese delicacies for well over a century. And our love for it has only grown stronger since then. In fact, our research has revealed that Chinese food is the absolute top favourite takeaway cuisine in the UK, with a whopping 41% of all monthly Google searches for takeaways dedicated to finding Chinese restaurants.
    </p>
    <p>
        But that's not all. Recent statistics have shown that our obsession with Chinese food has reached new heights. In 2016 alone, an estimated £4.5 billion was spent on satisfying our cravings for Chinese grub. This insatiable appetite has transformed Chinese cuisine into a true sensation across the nation. According to a survey conducted by <a href="https://www.statista.com/">Statista</a> in 2017, Chinese food was the top choice among UK consumers, with 35% of respondents declaring it as their favourite. As shown in chart 2, in 2021, Chinese cuisine continued to reign top, with 25% of respondents choosing it as their best bet for takeaway, closely followed by Indian cuisine at 24%, while fish and chips claimed the third spot.
    </p>
    <div><img src="https://files.mealzo.co.uk/SiteContent/OurBlog/Chart2.jpg"  style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; width: 100%"/></div>
    <p>
        It's quite remarkable how Chinese food has seamlessly woven itself into the fabric of the British diet, surpassing even the long-standing traditional British favourite of fish and chips. Nowadays, you can find Chinese restaurants popping up in nearly every city and town, each one offering a tantalising variety of dishes that span from the classic chop suey to unique regional specialities.
    </p>
    <p>
        So, what makes Chinese cuisine so widely loved? Well, there are a few factors that contribute to its immense popularity. Chinese food has become synonymous with convenience. Ordering Chinese takeaways online has become a breeze, with most restaurants offering hassle-free delivery services. This makes it a go-to option for those seeking a quick and easy meal.
    </p>
    <p>
        Affordability is another key factor that has endeared Chinese cuisine to the masses. Compared to other culinary choices, Chinese food tends to be more budget-friendly, making it an attractive option for those looking to satisfy their cravings without breaking the bank.
    </p>
    <p>
        But it's not just about convenience and affordability. Chinese cuisine's appeal lies in its diverse range of flavours that cater to all palates. Whether you're a fan of bold and spicy dishes or prefer something milder and more subtle, there's always something to tickle your taste buds in Chinese cuisine. From stir-fries and noodle dishes to rice dishes, dumplings, and soul-warming soups, the variety seems endless. This means there's always something new to explore, even if you have your usual favourites.
    </p>
    <p>
        Moreover, many Chinese restaurants place a strong emphasis on using fresh ingredients, making their food a healthier option compared to other fast-food choices. This commitment to quality and freshness adds an extra layer of appeal to Chinese cuisine, making it a popular choice for those seeking a satisfying and wholesome meal.
    </p>
    <p>
        In addition to the factors mentioned earlier, the growing popularity of Chinese culture in the UK has also played a significant role in the widespread appreciation of Chinese cuisine. The presence of Chinese immigrants has introduced British people to the authentic delights of Chinese culinary traditions. Elements such as dim sum and tea ceremonies have been wholeheartedly embraced by Brits, further fueling the current popularity of Chinese takeaway in the UK—now more than ever!

    <p>
        So, when you find yourself craving a delectable and fulfilling meal, why not join in the UK's love affair with Chinese cuisine and order a flavoursome Chinese takeaway near you through Mealzo?

Mealzo is revolutionizing the food industry by supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Order food online, support local businesses. Join the Mealzo family Today!

<p>
        Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and businesses (SMBs) are crucial for the UK's economic vitality, playing a fundamental role in job creation and driving economic growth. In fact, according to <span style="font-weight:bold"><a href="https://www.statista.com/"> Statista </a></span>, SMEs accounted for a staggering 99.9% of all businesses in the country at the beginning of 2021, cementing their importance in the UK economy. However, they often face difficulties in accessing finance. Banks are less likely to lend to SMEs due to their size and risk profile, so instead they rely on internal funds, or cash from friends and family, to get started. The International Finance Corporation (<span style="font-weight:bold"><a href="https://www.ifc.org/en/home"> IFC </a></span>) estimates that 65 million firms in developing countries lack the financing they need to operate, totaling around $5.2 trillion each year.
    </p>
    <p>
        The past few years have presented numerous challenges for small local food and drink businesses, especially those operating in the delivery and takeaway sectors. The rise of third-party delivery platforms that demand hefty commissions has intensified competition and caused a decrease in customer traffic for these establishments. In order to overcome these obstacles and maintain a competitive edge, it is crucial for these businesses to prioritise innovation. This is why many SMEs in the restaurant and cafe industry seek external support. Fortunately, <span style="font-weight:bold"><a href="https://www.mealzo.co.uk/"> Mealzo </a></span> is on a mission to bring back the vibrancy of SEMs in the restaurant and cafe sectors, which play an integral role in our local communities throughout the UK.
    </p>
    <p>
        By using the Mealzo platform, small local businesses can benefit from a range of innovative features, such as Commission-Free food ordering websites, automated ordering processes and targeted marketing campaigns. Our platform also provides comprehensive analytics and reporting tools, enabling partners to gain insight into their customer base and pinpoint areas for improvement. At Mealzo, we are passionate about supporting our local communities and are proud to be the go-to platform for all small and medium-sized restaurant and takeaway businesses looking to stay competitive in an ever-changing industry.
    </p>
    <p><H2>The Challenges Faced by Small Businesses</H2></p>
    <p>
        Small businesses, particularly in the food delivery and takeaway community, face obstacles that impede their growth and prosperity, underscoring the critical need for innovative solutions like Mealzo to support their operations. Here are some of the challenges faced by small businesses:
    </p>
    <p>
        <ol type="I">
            <li><H3>Limited Resources:</H3> Small local takeaways and restaurants often operate with limited financial resources, making it difficult for them to invest in marketing, technology, and other aspects essential for growth. This lack of resources puts them at a disadvantage compared to larger competitors.</li>
            <li><H3>Lack of Visibility:</H3> Local food delivery and takeaway owners struggle to stand out in a crowded market. They often lack the marketing budgets and strategies to effectively reach and attract customers. As a result, they may remain unknown or be overshadowed by bigger players in the industry.</li>
            <li><H3>Delivery Challenges:</H3> Offering delivery services can be costly and logistically challenging for small businesses. They may lack the infrastructure, manpower, or technologies required to efficiently deliver food to customers, limiting their ability to compete with larger, well-established delivery platforms.</li>
            <li><H3>Customer Loyalty:</H3> Building customer loyalty is critical for SMEs, but it can be difficult to achieve. With limited resources for marketing and customer retention programs, these businesses may struggle to create strong connections with their target audience and keep them coming back.</li>
        </ol>
    </p>
    <p><H2>Here are the top reasons why Mealzo stands by SMEs:</H2></p>
