For restaurants, delis & ghost kitchens
Pre-orders your kitchen can actually plan around.

Where pre-orders go wrong
The phone is your order system
Holiday menus mean the host desk transcribing orders between seatings — and every mishear is a refund conversation later.
Specials are a gamble
Forty family lasagnas prepped on a hunch; twenty-six sold. The margin went into the walk-in and then the bin.
Third-party apps take too much
Delivery platforms want commission and own your customer. For pickup pre-orders, you just need the order — not a middleman.
Why QuickOrderForm
Built for pickup pre-orders
No commission, no middleman
It's your link on your Instagram and your window sticker. Orders come straight to you with zero percentage skimmed.
Caps that match your prep
Limit each tray to what the kitchen can produce. Sold out means sold out — automatically, politely, in the form.
Pickup slots that protect service
A time-slot dropdown spreads collections across the evening so pre-orders never collide with the dinner rush.
Tickets the kitchen can read
Every order lists items, quantities, and notes in one place — print the CSV or run the dashboard on the pass tablet.
From link to fulfilled, in three steps.
- 1
Turn the special into a form
Trays and meals as products with prices and caps; pickup date and slot as dropdowns; a notes field for allergies.
- 2
Put the link in front of regulars
Instagram, the window QR, the receipt footer, your newsletter. The description sets the ordering deadline.
- 3
Prep to confirmed numbers
The dashboard totals each dish. Prep exactly that, stage orders by pickup slot, and mark them fulfilled at handover.
What to put on a restaurant pre-order form
The strongest restaurant forms sell a short menu with tight logistics. Cover these and the kitchen runs itself:
- ✓
Meals and trays as products
Name the yield — "feeds 4" — so households order the right size the first time.
- ✓
Pickup date and time slot (dropdowns, required)
Slots are the difference between a smooth handover shelf and a crowd at the host stand mid-service.
- ✓
Allergies & notes (long text)
Captured with the order, printed with the ticket — the kitchen never cooks blind.
- ✓
Phone number (required)
When the oven timeline slips ten minutes, one text saves four awkward lobby conversations.
Frequently asked questions
+Is this an online ordering system or POS?
No — and that's the point. It's a pre-order form for pickups, specials, and catering: no POS integration project, no tablet farm, no commission. Orders land in a simple dashboard you check like email.
+Can customers pay online?
Payments are on our roadmap. Today most restaurants settle at pickup, which also makes day-of substitutions painless. Totals are calculated on every order either way.
+How do we handle the holiday rush?
Make a dedicated holiday form: capped quantities per tray, pickup slots across the day, an early Closed switch when you hit capacity. The dashboard becomes your prep sheet and handover list.
+Can multiple staff check orders?
The dashboard is a web page behind your login — open it on the pass tablet or the office computer. Shared team accounts are on the roadmap.
