Get your menu online

Your menu is the heart of online ordering. List every dish with a clear name, description, price and, ideally, a photo. Add the options customers choose from, such as portion size, sauces, extras or spice level, and the price of each.

If you only have a paper menu, a photo is enough to start. A good provider will type it up for you. See how we build your website and menu as part of set-up.

Choose how customers can order

Decide which types of order you want to take:

  • Collection, where customers pick a time and collect when it’s ready
  • Delivery, using your own drivers or delivery partners

You can switch each of these on and off, so you can pause delivery on a short-staffed night or run collection only.

Set up payments

Taking payment upfront means fewer no-shows and no cash to chase. You’ll need a payment provider that supports cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay and pays out to your bank. Hungrrr Pay is built in and powered by Stripe, so there’s nothing separate to set up.

Get orders into your kitchen

Orders need to reach the people cooking. A tablet with a loud new-order alert works well, and a ticket printer is a good addition if you prefer paper. Look for a system that lets you accept an order, mark it ready and push back times with one tap when the kitchen is busy.

Tell people you’re open for orders

Once your ordering page is live, make sure customers can find it:

  • Link it from your Google Business Profile so the Order button goes straight to you
  • Put a QR code on bags, the counter and your window
  • Share the link on Facebook and Instagram
  • Offer a branded app so regulars can reorder in two taps

Then keep customers coming back with a loyalty scheme and automatic thank-you and win-back messages.
