Under 10 employees
54.2% of band
FoodBooking leads this 72-company band with 54.2% share, making the smallest operators the clearest FoodBooking segment. GloriaFood and TouchTakeaway still sit within the same small-site market, but below the named leader.
10–50 employees
41.5% of band
FoodBooking also leads the 94-company 10–50 employee band, at 41.5%. This is the largest band shown here and appears to be the main battleground for FoodBooking, GloriaFood and TouchTakeaway.
Over 50 employees
25% of band
Only 4 detected companies sit above 50 employees, with FoodBooking leading at 25.0%. The count is too small to read as a settled enterprise pattern.
How Online ordering usage is detected
Company data
Detected companies are joined to UK Companies House records and XBRL accounts data. Revenue and headcount figures come from the most recent filed accounts; where the company has not filed, values are estimated using a model trained on filed history and peer benchmarks and are labelled as estimates.
Detection
Firmbase crawls the public website of actively-trading UK companies and fingerprints the technologies present: tracking scripts, embedded forms, chat widgets, CMS markers and similar signatures. A company is included in this list when one or more of the technology's signatures are found on its site; closely-related variants of the same product are grouped under one name. Detection covers what is visible on the public web — a company using the technology purely internally, with no website footprint, will not appear. Counts are therefore a conservative floor, not a ceiling.
Freshness
Websites are re-crawled on a rolling basis and the underlying company data is refreshed from Companies House continuously; filings appear within days of submission. The list and its statistics are regenerated when the detected cohort moves meaningfully. You can see the last-updated timestamp near the top of the page.
