Bakeries
QR ordering for bakeries
The line at the cabinet is the job. People queued to order a roll, a pie, a loaf. A QR on the counter and they are not waiting to talk.
The line at the cabinet
Lunch is a queue to speak, then a queue to wait. Someone is hovering while you pack a bag that is not theirs. A QR on the counter or the window lets them scan, pick the rolls and pies, and pay on the phone — Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card through your Stripe or Square. They step aside. No guest app. No account.
Ticket up, bag packed
The ticket lands on the pickup queue. You pack. They are not standing in the doorway asking if it is theirs yet. When the bag is ready they get one ping — tracking page first, WhatsApp if they have it, SMS as backup. Extra SMS after your monthly cap is about 5 cents. Page orders are unlimited.
Keep the customer, keep the margin
Uber and Menulog will take a bakery pickup. They also take a cut and they keep the guest. Takezi is a shop subscription — A$99 (600 SMS / 1,000 WhatsApp) or A$249 (2,200 SMS / 6,000 WhatsApp). No food commission. Not a marketplace. Australia only. Paid from day one, cancel anytime. Optional 7-day taste: card on file, 20 SMS and 50 WhatsApp, then A$99.
What this is not
Not table QR. Not dine-in. Not a POS. Not loyalty. Not me&u. Same job as takeaway: kill the queue at the counter, right now.
