Take larger orders with upgrades.

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.

Give regulars a reason to come back.

Reward regulars with stamps on eligible coffees. Choose what they earn, such as a free coffee on a later visit.

Choose what earns stamps

Choose the eligible food and drinks. Each paid eligible item earns a stamp, so two in one order earn two stamps. Staff can also give stamps to customers who ordered in person.

Make the reward yours

Set the stamp target and reward, and give the card your own branding. Customers can use their reward on a later order. See how loyalty works

Corner Takeaway loyalty example: two paid flat white items earn two stamps, then three more fill this illustrative five-stamp card. The later reward covers one $5.00 item, leaving $0.70 for extra shot. A celebration announces the free flat white, then the illustrated Use reward tap applies it on the later order. You choose your own eligible products, stamp target and reward.

Questions about takeaway ordering?

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.
