How does ordering for pickup work, and how is the pickup time chosen?

The customer orders on the branch’s ordering page, chooses “as soon as possible” or a free pickup slot the branch can prepare, and pays at the branch when collecting. A branch minimum order is shown and checked.

Each branch that offers online ordering has its own ordering page and its own pickup schedule, in the branch’s time zone. At checkout the customer picks Pickup — or Drive-thru when the branch offers it — and then “as soon as possible” or one of the free slots the page offers for today or the next days.

  1. In Business › QR ordering, open the branch’s pickup schedule: weekly windows (with breaks), preparation time, slot length, same-day cutoff, how many days ahead, and closed dates. Set a minimum order if you want one.
  2. The customer adds items (limited to what the branch has in stock). If the branch has a minimum order, a bar shows how much is left to reach it.
  3. At checkout they choose Pickup or Drive-thru, then “as soon as possible” or a free slot; slots that are full, past the cutoff or on a closed day are not offered.
  4. Your team sees the order with its time on the Online Orders and kitchen screens, and moves it through Accepted, Preparing, Ready and Completed.
  5. The customer follows the status on their phone; for drive-thru they can tap “I’ve arrived”. They pay at the branch when the order is completed.
Limits and conditions
  • Slots are computed by the app from the branch’s schedule and shown in the branch’s time zone, even if the customer’s phone is in another one.
  • If an order is not collected on time, staff get a late-pickup alert.
  • Online payment is not offered: the customer pays at the branch.
  • Delivery to the customer’s address is built but not switched on yet.
