Give the sides and drinks a place in their order.

Customers have time to browse your full menu without a queue behind them or a rushed phone call. A burger can become lunch with chips and a drink, or an order for the whole office.

Let them make it their own

Customers can choose sizes and extra fillings before reviewing their order and paying.

Make ordering for a group easier

They can check everyone’s choices and add another meal without keeping your team on the phone.

From their phone to your pickup counter.

Customers order and pay ahead. Your team prepares the food and sends a ready message, then they collect.

  1. A customer in a navy shirt ordering takeaway on his phone at work

    They order and pay ahead

    They order for ASAP pickup or choose a later time.

  2. The takeaway worker wrapping an order beside her tablet in the shop

    You prepare their order

    The paid order arrives with their choices. Tap order-ready to send an SMS and app notification.

  3. A customer collecting a takeaway order at the counter

    They collect their food

    They can wait at work or nearby, then collect when notified.

Loyalty rewards bring them back.

Reward regulars with stamps on eligible items. You choose what they can earn, like a free coffee or chips.

Choose what earns stamps

Eligible paid online items earn stamps automatically. Staff can also award counter stamps to customers using the Ywait app.

Make the reward yours

Choose the items, stamp target and reward. The coffee example shows how stamps build towards a later reward. See how loyalty works

In this example, two paid coffees earn two stamps. The muffin earns no stamps. Three more coffees fill the card and earn a reward. On the next order, the reward pays for the $4.50 coffee. The extra shot still costs 80 cents. A new stamp card is ready.

Make your takeaway menu easy to order from.

Share your ordering link and QR code wherever customers find you.

Turn a search into an order.

Add your ordering link to your Google Business Profile. Nearby workers can order before their lunch break instead of spending it in a queue.

Frequently asked questions.

Send us a message and one of our team members will get back to you ASAP.

Can customers order takeaway for a chosen pickup time?

Yes. Offer ASAP orders or allow preorders up to a week in advance if that suits your business.

Do customers have to download an app?

No. Customers can order and pay in their browser without downloading an app. They can also use the Ywait app for quicker reordering.

Can customers choose extras and leave notes?

Yes. Add sizes and extras to your menu, and let customers leave a note with their order.

Can we keep taking phone and walk-in takeaway orders?

Yes. Keep your existing ordering options alongside Ywait. Your team manages incoming online orders while serving customers at the counter.

What if we’re too busy or an item sells out?

Pause online orders or mark an item sold out in the Ywait Admin app. You control what’s available to order.

Do I need a new till or printer?

No. Manage orders on a phone or tablet you already own. Connect a printer if you want kitchen dockets, or use the Square integration.

Does Ywait offer delivery?

Ywait supports pickup ordering. If you have your own delivery drivers, get in touch and we can help you take delivery orders too.

How do takeaway customers know their order is ready?

Your team marks the order ready after preparing it. Ywait sends a text telling the customer to collect from your shop.
