But they are allowed to continue to trade provided they do not invite customers into their pubs, cafes, restaurants and meet covid-19 prevention criteria. They can provide delivery or collection services but for many they are unable to accept orders due to them not having an online ordering facility that enables them to do this successfully, nor do they have the technical skills to provide an effective marketing message on the various platforms.
The cost of food online ordering services is prohibitive in the main to many of the businesses unless you have the budget or you want to tie yourself into a length and costly contract with the Uber Eats, Deliveroos and the Just Eats of the world and even then they will find their offering up against many competitors in the same market. To have an impact a business should have its own online ordering system that can accept payment online and give clear instructions to the customer that allows them to order in confidence including any extra nutritional information.
For many traditional business they have relied upon their local residents and word of mouth and marketing is an enigma to them and could easily cost them a bundle of cash if they put their business in the hands of the wrong partner, who will be quick to take their money without delivering the new business they will need to get to get up and running. No wonder business owners are worried about the future of their business and their very survival throughout the lock down period and beyond when we come out of it.
For some business they will not survive unless they learn to change and become more flexible and this needs to be done with speed. No longer can they rely on just word of mouth and new ways of working will have to be found. FMS can help you to find new ways to benefit from the new technology available that will give your business the opportunity to engage new customers and to grow its sales.
Businesses should look at how they adapt to the Covid-19 and beyond this to when we are able to exit lock down safely and resume our daily activities.

We would be looking at an initial down payment followed by a mid and final payment plan. This would also allow businesses to look at utilising our services when it came to their business plans to assist them with their finance loans and grants applications. It would show to any future investor that the plans are not only in place but are being worked on in preparation for the recovery period when we exit the lock down period. This allows the business to continue trading, showing how they are changing and adapting their current business model to the new ways of working and helping them better prepare for any future crisis that could engulf us once again, such as a re-occurrence of a future global pandemic virus. For any bank or finance company this shows how the business is gearing itself up and will be able to survive and is therefore worthy of investment and financial support at this time.

Or for £650 we will load it complete with the business requirements and customise to suit the client.
Comparable online ordering systems would be double or triple this amount and many would ask for half or even full payment up front and charge extra for hosting and such. The price will also include the hosting arrangements.
