PhD. Networks  Growth Proposal Prepared for Souvlaki Corner
17 July 2026
Proposal · prepared for Souvlaki Corner

Keep what you earn.

You have built one of the best-rated food spots in Leeds, and just opened a second. This is the plan for the one thing still missing: a website of your own, with ordering that pays you instead of the apps.

SC A plan for Souvlaki Corner, Armley & Morley
01 · Where you are now

You have already won the hard part.

Nothing here is about fixing a broken business. Armley queues for your gyros, Morley opened in June to a wave of local coverage, and your ratings are the kind most restaurants never see. The gap is purely digital, and it is costing you money you have already earned.

4.9★

773 Google reviews

The Armley original. One of the strongest-rated food spots in Leeds.

4.6★

119 reviews since June

Morley opened 7 June and is already racking up praise.

5/5

Hygiene at both shops

Food Standards Agency rating, including a 5 on Morley's very first inspection.

Shops, one brand

Wortley to Morley, with press in the Yorkshire Evening Post and a queue of local food pages covering the opening.

02 · The leak

Four gaps are quietly taxing that success.

We spotted the first one by accident, and it is the reason we knocked on your door before anyone else does.

Your domain

souvlakicorner.co.uk is about to go on sale. To anyone.

You registered it in July 2024, so a website was clearly the plan. It was never built, it expired on 6 July 2026, and it is now in Nominet's suspension window. Around early October it becomes publicly available, and anyone (a competitor, a squatter, a delivery app) can buy your name. We can rescue it.

Commission

Every online order goes through Uber Eats.

Your page is marked "Exclusive to Uber Eats", and you are not on Just Eat or Deliveroo, so their fee applies to every order placed online. Uber Eats' published rate for delivery through their couriers is 30%. Whatever your exact agreement says, there is no direct alternative for customers to choose, because you have no website.

Findability

Customers already can't find your details.

Facebook has no website link. Instagram points at a Google short-link. Morley's hours live only on Google. When people can't check, they don't come, and some of them say so publicly.

Sources: your Facebook and Instagram profiles, both Google listings, 17 July 2026.
Hiring

You're hiring through a shared inbox.

Your 14 July "We are hiring" post asks for CVs by email. It worked (23 comments, 43 shares), but a jobs page on your own site would collect applicants around the clock and make every vacancy look as professional as your food.

Source: your Facebook hiring post, 14 July 2026.
"Sunday 12th July - Nothing on their socials and phone just rings despite there being staff inside so don't waste a trip out tonight."
03 · The maths

30% to the apps, or 1.5% direct.

These are the published rates. What we can't see from outside is your agreed rate and your volume, which is why the next step is your last Uber Eats invoice, not our guess.

04 · What's included

One build, with everything wired in.

We have already designed your homepage so you can judge the standard before spending a penny. The build finishes the job.

Your homepage is already live to preview.

05 · The investment

Straightforward pricing. No surprises.

One price to build it, one small yearly renewal to keep it fast, secure and yours.

The build + ordering system
£1,495
one-off

Everything in section 04, delivered once, owned by you. Your food photos, your menus, your two shops, your ordering.

Hosting & care
£650
per year

Fast UK hosting, security updates, backups, menu and hours changes when you need them, and both domains kept safe.

One renewal a year, cancel any time

No commission. No per-order fees to us. Ever.

For scale: Uber Eats' own one-off activation fee is £650 ex VAT (their published UK price). Your entire first year of hosting costs the same as joining the app that then takes 30%.
