Order-ahead for cafés & restaurants
Stop losing your
customers.
When the rush hits — the morning coffee run, the lunch rush, the dinner sitting — people see the queue and walk. Let them order ahead from a branded app and skip it. You keep every dollar: flat monthly fee, no commission, money straight to your bank.
- No commission — ever
- Your brand, your bank
- Live in days
Your peak is short. It decides your day.
Whether your rush is 8am coffees or the 7pm dinner sitting, every customer who sees a line and keeps walking is a sale you never knew you lost. With order-ahead, customers buy and pay before they arrive — so each one becomes an order that's already paid and waiting, landing on your screen at a pace your kitchen can handle.
How it works
Three steps. No queue. No skim.

Customers order ahead
From your branded app, saved to their home screen like the real thing. They pay up front by card or mobile wallet.

Your kitchen gets it instantly
Orders ring on your dashboard and print a kitchen ticket the moment they’re paid — flowing into the POS you already run, or standing on their own if you don’t use one.

They skip the queue
Walk in, grab and go. You captured a sale the line would have cost you — and paid no commission on it.
For your customers
An app they actually keep.
Your venue, saved to the home screen and opening full-screen with your logo — a real app, no download. They order ahead in a few taps, pay by card or mobile wallet, and get a ping the moment it's ready.
- Your brand, never ours
- Order ahead, ASAP, or dine-in QR
- Recognised on return for easy reordering
