Orders and customers.
How does a Ywait order work?
Customers open your menu from a link or QR code, choose their items and pay. The order arrives in Ywait Admin or your connected Square POS. Your team prepares it and marks it ready, then the customer receives a collection text.
Do customers need to download an app?
No. Customers can order and pay in their browser without downloading an app. They can also download the Ywait app to make reordering quicker.
Is Ywait for pickup or delivery?
Customers can order ahead and collect from your business. If you have your own delivery drivers, get in touch and we can help you take delivery orders too.
Can customers choose a pickup time or preorder?
Yes. Offer ASAP orders or let customers preorder up to a week in advance, if that suits your business.
Can QR orders include a table number?
Yes. Table-specific QR codes record the table number with the order so your team knows where to bring the food. A general pickup QR code opens your ordering menu without a table number.
Plans, fees and payments.
What are the Ywait plans?
Your Storefront on Ywait is $15/month, Custom Site is $49/month, and Custom Site & App Bundle is $89/month. Subscription, platform and payment processing fees apply.
Compare plans and feesHow does the free month work?
Your Storefront on Ywait includes one month free. The free month does not apply to the custom site or site and app bundle.
Who pays the transaction fees?
The platform fee is added to the customer’s checkout by default; you can ask to cover it instead. Stripe or Square deducts its processing fees from your payments. Ywait does not add a separate payment processing fee.
Are there setup fees or a lock-in contract?
There are no setup fees or minimum term on the published plans. You can cancel any time without a cancellation notice period. One-off events and custom event setups are quoted individually.
How do customers pay and how do I receive the money?
Customers can pay with cards, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Stripe sends daily payouts to your bank account, typically within two business days of payment. With Square, you receive your usual Square payouts.

Can my menu include sizes, extras and customer notes?
Yes. Configure variations and extras so customers can choose and pay for them. The order records their selections and notes for your team.
Can I manage sold-out items or pause ordering?
Yes. Track stock and mark items sold out in Ywait Admin. You can update your menu, prices and trading hours, or pause online orders when your team needs to catch up.
How do loyalty stamps work?
You choose eligible items, the number of stamps needed and the reward. Eligible paid online items earn stamps automatically. When the card is full, the customer can redeem a reward on a later online order. Loyalty is included in every plan.
Explore loyalty stampsCan customers earn stamps on counter purchases?
Yes. Customers check in through the Ywait app and their name automatically pops up in Ywait Admin. Your team can quickly add stamps for their counter purchase.
Can a food truck keep one link while changing locations?
Yes. Add trading sessions with their locations and times to your calendar. Customers use the same link to choose a session and order. Check internet access at each stop.
See food truck orderingCan an event use one ordering page for multiple vendors?
Yes. We can create a custom ordering page for your event or multi-vendor group. Get in touch and we’ll help you work out the right setup.
