What a takeaway needs

What is an online ordering system for takeaways?

Customers order from your own website or app, for collection or delivery. The order chimes on a tablet at the counter, the docket prints, and the card payment goes into your own account. Takeout, if that is what you call it where you are.

  • Long menus, done properly

    Sizes, sauces and extras as options on one dish, so the order reaches the kitchen right.

  • Prep times you set

    Twenty minutes on a Tuesday, forty five on a Friday, for collection and delivery separately.

  • Your delivery, your rules

    A radius, a fee and a minimum order you set for each shop. Your own drivers deliver.

  • Regulars, remembered

    Saved addresses, order again in one tap, and points towards a reward.

  • Both ways

    Collection and delivery, with guest checkout

  • On paper

    Dockets print at the counter on ESC/POS printers

  • Paid to you

    Card payments land in your own account

  • Typed in

    We put your menu in, every size and extra

In detail: online ordering on your own domain, the live order board and how payments work.

Friday night

One Friday night, hour by hour

One board and one menu, from doors open to the last regular. This is an example evening: the times and orders are for illustration.

  1. Example

    Doors open

    Collection and delivery are on, with tonight's prep times. The site and app show your hours.

  2. Example

    The rush

    Every new order lands with a chime. Accept it with one tap and print the docket for the kitchen.

  3. Example

    Kitchen at full stretch

    Raise the delivery prep time so ready times match the kitchen, and mark the halloumi sold out.

  4. Example

    The regulars

    Lena orders last week's meal again in one tap and earns points. The card payment goes to your account.

Delivery apps

Keep Just Eat. Own the regulars.

Delivery apps find you new customers and keep a share of every order. Your own site is for the people who already order from you every week. Most takeaways run both, and move the regulars across a few orders at a time.

  • A line on every docket that points to your own site
  • A sticker on the bag with your web address
  • Points and coupons on loyalty rewards for regulars who order direct

Questions

Questions takeaway owners ask

Something else on your mind? Book a demo and ask the founder.

Do I need a new till or EPOS system?

No. An Android phone or tablet runs the merchant app and the order board, and dockets print on a standard ESC/POS receipt printer. Keep your till. Tekeats does not connect to other EPOS systems today. If you want a till on the same menu, ask about our own POS on your demo.

Can customers order for delivery?

Yes. You set the radius, the fee and the minimum order. Your own drivers deliver with the Tekeats rider app and customers track their order live, or customers collect. Tekeats does not supply drivers.

Can customers choose a collection time?

Not today. Orders are for now, with a prep time you set for collection and for delivery, so the wait matches the kitchen. Choosing a time slot is not part of Tekeats.

Can I stay on Just Eat and Deliveroo?

Yes. Keep them for the new customers they bring. Tekeats integrates with the delivery partners you already use, so tell us which ones on your demo. How Tekeats compares.

Do customers have to download an app?

No. Customers order on your website and can check out as a guest. A customer app in your takeaway's name is ready to publish to the App Store and Google Play if you want one.

Who types in my menu?

We do, as part of setup, with every size, sauce and extra. You check it before you go live, and after that you can mark a dish sold out from the app in one tap.
