Pre-orders arrive timed ahead of pickup, giving your team a head start. Handle more customers in the same time, without the counter rush.
No setup fees, no subscription, no lock-in. We run on a simple per-order model — so we only make money when you do.
You decide your menu, hours, and how many pre-orders you take at once. Pause new orders any time — your café runs the way you want it to.
