Foodie Feature · Online Ordering (Pickup & Delivery)

Sell Beyond the Counter — Without the Commission

Give guests a link to your own online menu. They pick Pickup or Delivery, pay online, and the order lands in the same kitchen system as every dine-in order — no 20–30% cut to a food-delivery aggregator, no separate screen to babysit.

Zero commission Pickup or Delivery Same kitchen, same KDS

Aggregators Take a Third of Every Order

Every third-party order costs you before it even reaches the kitchen

A food-delivery aggregator can send real volume — but 20–30% of every bill goes straight to commission before you've bought a single ingredient. Worse, the guest belongs to the platform, not to you: no phone number, no repeat-order relationship, no way to tell them about tonight's special. And when a customer just wants to walk in and pick up their order in ten minutes, there's often no simple way for them to order ahead from you directly.

Order Ahead in Four Simple Steps

One link, shareable anywhere — Instagram bio, WhatsApp Business, Google Business Profile.

1

Guest opens your link

Your own branded ordering page — full menu, photos, and prices, no app to download.

2

Pickup or Delivery

The guest picks how they want it, and enters a delivery address only if they need one.

3

Pays online, instantly

Secure card, UPI, or wallet checkout — the order is confirmed the moment payment clears.

4

Straight to the kitchen

No separate tablet to watch — the order prints and shows on the same KDS as every other order.

A Weeknight Order, Placed From the Couch

A typical scenario

It's 8 PM on a Tuesday and a family wants biryani without cooking. They open the ordering link saved in their phone, browse the same photo menu they'd see on the table QR code, and choose Delivery. They pay online and get a confirmation — no phone call, no "is the line busy" frustration.

The order shows up on the kitchen's screen exactly like a dine-in order would, so nothing about how the kitchen works has to change. Once it's packed, the cashier marks it "Out for Delivery" from the same Delivery Orders screen already used for every other order today, and later marks it "Delivered" — the whole thing tracked in one place, at full margin, with the guest's phone number now in the restaurant's own customer list for next time.

Your Guests, Your Margin

Not a replacement for aggregators if you still want that reach — just a way to stop giving away the orders that were always going to come to you directly.

Zero commission — every rupee from a direct order stays with the restaurant, not a platform.

One kitchen workflow — Pickup and Delivery orders flow into the exact same KOT/KDS as dine-in, nothing new for the kitchen to learn.

Delivery status, tracked — Pending → Out for Delivery → Delivered, managed from one screen so nothing gets forgotten mid-shift.

You own the customer — the phone number and order history stay in your own system, not a rival platform's.

Loyalty built in — points earn and redeem the same way as every other order channel.
