Definition

What exactly is click and collect?

In simple terms, click and collect allows customers to browse a menu online, place an order and then pick it up at the restaurant. It can be used for takeaway meals, pre-orders or scheduled pickup.

Why it matters

The first benefit is simple: more direct orders. But it also helps reduce mistakes, handle busy periods better and offer a practical alternative to phone orders.

Fewer calls and back-and-forth messages.

Setup

Adoption
