About us
Launched in 2018 in just one area of Cumbria, England, Local Eats has rapidly grown into a huge number of successful franchises across the whole of the UK and following unprecedented success, is now onboarding in Ireland.
With over 150 licenses sold and over €180m in revenue across the group in 2025 Local Eats expect their ROI territories to quickly sell-out and match the successes seen in Northern Ireland in areas such as Bangor, Ballymena, Newtownards and Newtownabbey.
It all started in 2018 and after just six-months of trading, Eats realised the potential that their model had… Through continuous investment in their technology and constant refining of their business strategy, Local Eats have quickly been able to establish franchises in a number of major cities and towns in the UK, still actively growing their market-share week on week.
Due to the high level of specialised support provided to each licensee, Local Eats do not offer unlimited licences to unlimited applicants, so if you are interested in running your own online food ordering business and making up to €70,000 in your first year, we’d advise that you register your interest with Local Eats quickly to secure your territory in Ireland.
“As someone who had never marketed online or been a salesman before I was nervous I wouldn't have the skillset to make a success of the business but the technology and model sells itself. We beat all the market leaders on price and technology so signing takeaways and restaurants is easy and locals love getting behind a local business that gives back to their area. The support Local Eats have given me with the marketing has been invaluable too, having ran their own area they know what works on social media and have tried and tested marketing techniques and resources that I was able to adapt and use to drive my sales.”

The Opportunity
Local Eats provides you with the opportunity to run your own food ordering business from just a €4,995 investment.
What is great about Local Eats is that the model is proven - we have been there and done it already and have multiple Local Eats licensees who earned in excess of €70,000 in just their first year in order-commission alone!
As part of your licence, you are provided with everything you need to be up and running within 10 days: Your custom-branded apps, your website, your own support team, your own admin team, all contracts between you and your restaurants and direct access to (and support with implementing) our marketing resources that have proven time and time again to be so successful.
All you are left to do is sign up those restaurants and with commission structures that undercut Just Eat by 50%, it’s never been easier to gain a strong foothold in an rapidly expanding market!
How it works
The Technology - As part of your licensee package you will receive a market-leading, fully branded website, mobile app (both IOS and Android) and management system that stands head and shoulders above the current market-leaders.
The Business - We provide you with a proven business model that has had unprecedented success. The market leaders are taking millions of euros a year from small local areas and now it’s your turn to have a slice of that pie. No need to worry about any of the legal documents that baffle so many new business owners, we provide fully branded contracts and waivers and to ensure that you have total coverage.
The Results - Once you have added restaurants and takeaways to your new platform you can go live and begin to earn! Our marketing tools and support will allow you to watch your customer-base grow day-on-day and the maths is simple – The more customers, the more orders and the more orders - the more you earn.
“I spent a lot of time thinking about what could have gone wrong before I took a Local Eats licence but once I committed, I quickly found out why the model has been so successful in numerous areas.
The apps work perfectly, the website works perfectly, we undercut the market-leaders on commission and the customers love the fact we invest back into the local area.
In terms of workload, as Local Eats run my admin and support as part of my licence I'm free to concentrate on marketing and onboarding takeaways which has been a doddle due to the licensee network and the support that provides. What could be more valuable than a bank of tried and tested marketing resources just ready to go?”

What can I earn
Here is the good bit, your earnings are unlimited! The more orders your restaurants get, the more money you earn. Using our unique model, current licensees are processing over 20,000 orders within their first three months and are now earning in excess of €8,000 per month (euro equivalent).
Those numbers may sound like pie in the sky or unrealistic, but the truth is they are not, they are real life examples and some licensees are surpassing those within their first 18 months.
In this rapidly growing industry, we have all the tools you need to not only compete with the market leaders but to surpass them in double-quick time to become the most prevalent food ordering platform in your area.
Here is a real-life table showing the success of one of our licences that started in March 2024
Franchise Territories
We have a unique territory-mapping program based on a sample of existing licensees. Having this allows us to provide you with an exclusive Local Eats territory meaning your scope for growth is huge due to the guarantee the area you licence will be exclusive to you.
Exclusive territories allow you to choose your area and never compete with other Local Eats Franchise Partners and if you are the first licensee within a large zone you will also get first refusal on any surrounding territories as others register their interest.
As an example of this, Oliver one of our licences started out with Morecambe as his territory and when another individual enquired to Local Eats about purchasing the Lancaster licence (due to seeing Morecambe’s success), Oliver exercised his first refusal and purchased the Lancaster territory too.
How is Oliver doing now you may ask? Oliver now has over 170 outlets and is processing in excess of 6,000 orders each week taking home an annual profit in excess of €330,000 (equivalent).
How much does it cost?
You can have your very own local marketplace up and running within 10 days weeks with an initial investment of just €7,000. For this low initial investment, you will receive our full package with no hidden costs, no extra add-ons, just the freedom to become your own boss and earn up to €70,000 in your first year.
