Your takeaway bill is about to get shorter.

We looked at what the other Macclesfield ordering apps actually charge once service charges, bag fees and "fees" get added at checkout. Then we built Macc Food without them.

Launching in Macclesfield No service charge No bag fee No surprise "fees" line

The evidence

We checked the receipts.

Three real checkouts from Macclesfield takeaway apps. Circled in red: the charge that gets added after you've already picked your food.

Takeaway app basket screen showing a subtotal of £26.50 with a service charge of £0.89 added at checkout

+£0.89 SERVICE CHARGE

Order comes to £26.50. A "20% off" saves £5.30 — then a Service Charge quietly puts some of it back.

They charge£23.59

Takeaway app checkout screen showing a subtotal of £33.40 with £3.29 of fees added

+£3.29 "FEES"

Order comes to £33.40. Delivery is £1.50 — fair enough. Then an unexplained "Fees" line adds another £3.29.

They charge£38.19

+£1.60 BAG & DELIVERY

Order comes to £31.50. A discount takes off £3.15 — then a Bag Fee sneaks in on top of delivery.

They charge£29.95

Same order, honest total
