Accept pre-orders for upcoming menu items or limited-edition dishes and guarantee your customers a spot before stock runs out.
Some of your best items sell out before everyone who wants them gets a chance. Pre-Order lets customers reserve those items before they are available, removing the fear of missing out and giving your restaurant a clear view of demand before you even start preparing.
Customers place their pre-order, secure their spot, and receive the item when it is ready. No more disappointed customers who missed a limited-edition special or a seasonal dish. Use pre-orders to plan kitchen prep, reduce waste, and guarantee revenue before service begins.
Mark a food item as a pre-order product in its settings.
They see the pre-order status and complete the checkout as normal.
When the item is available, fulfill and dispatch the pre-orders.
