ChefOnline, specialist curry restaurant tech platform and a rising force in the UK’s hospitality tech sector, has officially been recognised as a Google Partner Digital Marketing Agency and Member of Meta Business Partner under the Agency specialty – a prestigious dual certification that positions the company as a leading digital solutions provider for independent and South Asian restaurants across the UK.

The Google accreditation announcement was made at an exclusive celebration aboard the iconic Dixie Queen cruise vessel against the backdrop of the River Thames on Monday 1st September. 

The event welcomed over 200 restaurant owners and hospitality SME’s from across the country, alongside digital leaders, influencers and industry stakeholders, in a dynamic evening celebrating innovation, resilience and digital transformation in hospitality.

Mohammed Munim, Founder & CEO of ChefOnline, said during his keynote speech: “This isn’t just a badge—it’s a responsibility. Being recognised by Google is a testament to our performance, integrity and impact. 

More importantly, it means we can now bring certified expertise and even greater value to the thousands of restaurants that trust us with their digital future.”

With its new Google Partner status, ChefOnline, one of the UK’s leading platforms connecting diners to Asian restaurants and takeaways with a customer base of over a million, joins a select group of agencies worldwide certified for their excellence in Google Ad’s, SEO and performance-based digital campaigns. 

The company has built its success on a commission-free model, offering branded websites, integrated EPoS solutions, CRM and loyalty tools and UK-based support, all tailored for the hospitality industry. This recognition reinforces ChefOnline’s mission to empower restaurants in an era of rising costs, labour shortages and the increasing need for digital competitiveness.

Munim added: “The real challenge for restaurants isn’t just about getting online, it’s about standing out, converting traffic and building loyal customers. That’s where we come in.”

With a portfolio of over 1,000 restaurants across the UK, ChefOnline has become a trusted growth partner for hospitality entrepreneurs in the curry industry. Its integrated approach – combining technology, branding and now Google-certified digital marketing – positions the platform at the forefront of digital innovation in the food service industry. 

As the sun set over Tower Bridge during the Thames Cruise, the message was clear: ChefOnline is not only keeping pace with the digital future, it’s leading it.
