Online ordering: features and advantages of “Collection”

Collection, allows your restaurant customers to pre-order their products online before picking them up on site. Once this option has been added to your online ordering site, you have control over its configuration. Withdrawal slots, proposed payment methods… You manage your Collection preferences directly from your LivePepper back office.

Pickup times that adapt to your organization

With Collection, your restaurant customers pre-order in advance and schedule their pickup time. All they need to do is to select the “Collection” option which appears in their basket. Then, they can choose their timeslot, like here:

This choice of schedule is a form of tacit commitment: the customers to pick up their orders at the scheduled time, and that of the restaurant to prepare them on time!

 

 

 

For restaurant owner, ordering to take out therefore requires a little organization in terms of inventory and preparation. Your “Collection” option is configured to offer, by default, 15-minute time slots: 12:00, 12:15, 12:30, etc.

Do you prefer to offer slots every 5 minutes? Our LivePepper technical team can change this default interval. It can be adapted to your organizational constraints and your activity flow (this change of configuration is however chargeable).

On your site, you define your payment methods

  • They can pay during picking up,  according to the payment methods you have configured: credit card, cash etc.
