Julio’s toy town: cafés, a pub and tables by the river
Food and drink

The marketing team for takeaways

Delivery apps bring you orders and keep a share of each one. Julio gives you a better website and Google profile, so regulars can find you and order direct, and answers the phone when the kitchen’s flat out.

Sound familiar?

What gets in the way

  • App commission comes off every order, even from regulars who’d happily order direct.

  • The phone rings non-stop on Friday night and the kitchen can’t answer it.

  • Customers remember the app, not your name, so building your own regulars is hard.

How it works

Your website, marketing and receptionist, in one.

  1. 01 · Website

    A new website, built and live in 48 hours

    Julio reads your site, Google profile and reviews, then builds your full menu with prices, allergen information, delivery areas and an “order direct” button. Need a change? Text it, like “open till 2 on Fridays”, and it’s live.

  2. 02 · Marketing

    Found on Google, AI search and Instagram

    Every week Julio writes a page for what hungry locals search, like a late-night takeaway in your town, and keeps your Google hours right. It turns tonight’s special into a post, and you approve each one with a tap.

    How people look for you

    • “takeaway near me”
    • “pizza delivery [town]”
    • “Chinese takeaway open now”

    Every call and enquiry answered

    When someone calls in the Friday rush or messages, Julio replies in seconds, checks they’re in your delivery area and sorts collection times, putting allergy calls through to the kitchen. Then it texts you who called and why.

    Replies to every enquiry: on Julio. Calls, messages and bookings: on Julio + Receptionist.

    JulioExample

    Do you deliver to LS6, and is the korma nut-free?

    JulioYes, we deliver to LS6, about 40 minutes tonight. Our korma contains almonds. I’ll put you through to the kitchen to talk through other dishes.

    Hi, it’s Sam. I’ve ordered online for 7. Can I collect at 7:15 instead?

    JulioNo problem, Sam. I’ve told the kitchen 7:15. If anyone has an allergy, tell me and I’ll pass it straight to them.

Questions

Questions takeaways ask

Will Julio replace the delivery apps?

No, keep them if they bring you new customers. Julio makes your own site and Google profile easy to order from, so more regulars come to you direct.

Can Julio answer allergy questions on the phone?

Only from your allergen chart, and it never says a dish is “safe”: allergy calls go to the kitchen. Answering calls is part of Julio + Receptionist (£349 a month).

I’m in Wales. What goes on my leaflets?

Printed menus and leaflets you can order from must carry the bilingual statement pointing to the food hygiene ratings website. Julio adds it to any print design it makes for you.

Can Julio text offers to my customers?

Yes, to people who’ve agreed to hear from you, or who bought before and were given a chance to opt out. Julio keeps track of who said yes.

Am I affected by the junk food ad ban?

The ban on paid online ads for “less healthy” food, from 5 January 2026, doesn’t apply to businesses with fewer than 250 staff. Julio still follows advertising rules on every post.

The rules Julio follows for takeaways

  • Allergen information before every order and on delivery; allergy questions go to the kitchen (FSA)
  • In Wales, menus and leaflets carry the bilingual food hygiene rating statement
  • Offer texts only to customers who agreed or could opt out (PECR); “halal” and “fresh” only if true
