Actowiz Solutions delivered cross-platform menu pricing intelligence for a London restaurant chain of 180 locations — tracking Just Eat, Deliveroo, and Uber Eats menus across all London boroughs and major UK cities.

Client Overview

The client is a fast-growing UK casual-dining restaurant chain with 180 locations across Greater London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and Bristol. With third-party delivery driving 42% of digital orders, pricing inconsistency across Just Eat, Deliveroo, and Uber Eats was eroding margins and creating customer confusion.

Each platform charges different commission rates (typically 25-35%), and franchise locations historically set their own delivery prices — leading to a £4 spread on the same dish across platforms.

Business Challenges

Tri-Platform Price Inconsistency

Same menu item priced differently on Just Eat, Deliveroo, and Uber Eats — sometimes by £3-£4.

Borough-Specific London Pricing

Same chain priced differently across Westminster, Camden, Hackney, and Greenwich — reflecting local delivery costs and competitive intensity.

Competitor Restaurant Tracking

Competing chains (Pret, Wagamama, Nando's, Pizza Express) ran promo offers that the client couldn't track in real-time.

Service & Delivery Fee Visibility

Service fees, small-order charges, and delivery fees impacted final basket prices but were opaque to brand HQ.

Project Objectives

The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:

• Track 180 client locations across 3 delivery platforms in real-time
• Monitor menu items per location for cross-platform consistency
• Detect competitor promo offers within 1 hour of launch
• Capture delivery, service & small-order fees per location
• Enable London borough-level pricing benchmarking

Actowiz Solutions Approach

Borough-Targeted Crawl Architecture

Crawlers simulated 35 London borough postcodes + 5 UK cities to capture geography-specific menu pricing, fees, and ETAs.

Menu Item Normalisation

Mapped item variations ('Large Margherita' vs 'Margherita 12in') to a master taxonomy for cross-platform comparison.

Competitor Coverage

Tracked the top 8 competing UK chains per market — their menus, prices, promos, and ratings — feeding into the client's GTM dashboard.

Fee Decomposition Engine

Captured base price, service fee, small-order fee, and delivery fee per order simulation — revealing true 'all-in' competitive pricing.
