Online ordering system for Brisbane restaurants and takeaways
Brisbane has grown quickly and its suburbs now carry serious food precincts, from Fortitude Valley's Chinatown to Sunnybank's Asian dining hub and the Vietnamese shops of Inala.
What's different about taking orders in Brisbane
Queensland does not use daylight saving, so in summer Brisbane runs an hour behind Sydney and Melbourne. Set opening hours in local time and don't copy a southern schedule.
Time zone for your opening hours: AEST (no daylight saving).

Frequently asked questions
Does Chefzi work for venues in Brisbane?
Yes, anywhere in Queensland, with hours in AEST (no daylight saving). Setup and support are remote.
Can I charge different delivery fees for different Brisbane suburbs?
Yes, for example a lower fee for Fortitude Valley than for Logan Central.
Do I need to leave Uber Eats or DoorDash?
No. Many venues keep one app for new customers and move regulars to their own page, where there is no commission.
Do Brisbane venues need to buy hardware for Chefzi?
No. Orders ring on the Chefzi app on an Android phone or tablet you already own until someone accepts or rejects them. Dockets can auto-print if you have a compatible printer.
Can a Brisbane cafe take table orders by QR code?
Yes. Every table gets its own QR code, so a West End or New Farm cafe can take orders from courtyard tables without staff walking each order to the counter.
