Our story

We started in 2019 with one flat-top grill in a converted unit off the high street, two of us, and a stubborn idea that a burger should not cost twelve quid to be worth eating.

Example figures on a normal day. Layout, offers and prices are the real ones.

All of this. Free.

No listing fee. No catch. Just one home for every independent in the city, the one place you won't find a McDonald's.

Optional extras

Three ways to earn more, if you want to.

Your profile is free forever. These optional tools help you generate extra revenue and reach more customers, at a fraction of what the big platforms charge.

Raids

Turn end-of-day food into revenue

Loaded Fries Raid
£3.15 · normally £9.50 · 5 left

List your end-of-day food as discounted Raid bags. Set your price, your window, your quantity. Customers reserve and pay in the app, then collect from you. You earn on food that would otherwise be wasted.

Steals

Drive footfall on slow days

Wings and Fries for £8
36% off · normally £12.50

Create time-limited Steals: a set lunch deal, a percentage off, a specific dish. Customers buy them in the app and redeem at your counter. A proven way to fill covers and bring in new faces.

Spotlight

Get in front of more customers

Full-screen takeover
One venue a day. On the day you book, it is you

Your venue takes over the whole screen the moment someone opens Delvd, before they see anything else. One tap puts them on your profile. We sell one venue a day, so on your day everyone opening the app sees you, and nobody is sharing it with you.

On Raids, Steals and orders we take a small commission, only when they earn you money, and never on an order a customer cancels or you turn down. It is a fraction of what Wowcher, Too Good To Go or Facebook would charge you. Your profile itself stays free, always.

Wearside Demo Kitchen is our own demo venue, built to show the product.

Why Delvd

A city of food lovers.
Most haven't found you, yet.

People looking for somewhere great to eat in Sunderland are scattered across Google, Instagram, Facebook and Just Eat, with no single place that does justice to the independent scene. Delvd is that place.

Discovery is fragmented

Your business is split across five platforms with different information on each. Customers get confused and go somewhere easier to find.

You can't control your image

You're posting fresh, mouth-watering shots every week, but on Google, they sit next to a stranger's blurry snap from three Christmases ago, with no way for customers to tell which one's actually you.

Big platforms take your margin

Up to 30% per order on delivery apps, and big brands pay to appear first. Independents are buried, even when you're the better choice.

Delvd puts every independent food business in Sunderland in one place, with a professional profile you control, content customers can trust, and discovery that works even when they've never heard of you before.

Questions

Before you sign up, here's what you'll want to know.

Yes, your profile is free forever. No listing fee, no monthly charge, no commission on simply being found. We only take a small cut when a Raid, Steal or order earns you money, never on an order a customer cancels or you turn down, and Spotlight is a simple flat price you choose to book. There's no catch and no contract.

You claim your venue from our directory, or add it if it's missing, and send us your claim. We check every claim by hand, usually within a day, and your Official badge switches on once we've confirmed it's really you. You can look around the dashboard straight away, and full editing unlocks the moment you're approved.

Not at all. The dashboard is built for busy owners, not developers. If you've got photos on your phone or content you've already posted on Instagram or TikTok, that's a great starting point, and it's more than enough for a profile that looks professional.

We're onboarding Sunderland's independents now, ahead of public launch. Signing up early means your profile is ready and waiting the moment Delvd opens to customers, and you'll be one of the first names people see.

No, Delvd works alongside everything you already do. Think of it as the one place that pulls your menu, photos, hours, offers and reviews together properly, dedicated to Sunderland, without the noise or the fees of the bigger platforms.
