“Hey, I want to order two pizzas, one burger, and three hot dogs.”
“Okay, I’m confirming your order: one pizza, two burgers, and three hot dogs.”
That’s exactly how miscommunications start between you and your customers when you use outdated ordering methods like phone calls. This is a very common scenario we see in many restaurants that are still doing this.
Ultimately, this costs you money, frustrates your customers, and, more importantly, you lose those customers forever.
The solution? A professional restaurant order form that works 24/7, processes payments automatically, and eliminates order errors. No more “Did they say extra cheese or no cheese?” No more chasing down customers for payment. No more lost orders.

Here’s how it works: Customers browse your menu online, select items, add special instructions if needed, and pay through the form. The order goes straight to you with all the details.
