QR ordering for pizza shops
Takezi provides QR ordering at Australian pizza shops. Phone off the hook from 5pm. A line at the counter and flour on your hands. The QR takes both jobs off you.
Every order is an interruption
Someone at the counter reading the menu out loud. The phone ringing while you stretch dough. Both of those stop the ovens. A QR on the counter or the window lets walk-ins scan, pick the pizzas, and pay on the phone — Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card through your Stripe or Square — without you touching anything. No guest app. No account. The full menu is on the page, so nobody reads it out and nobody mishears a topping. Guests pay you directly through your own payment account, card fees stay with that provider, and Takezi never touches the money.
Tickets to the bench, boxes in order
Orders land on the pickup queue — a phone or tablet on the bench. You make pizzas in the order they came in instead of the order people shout. Nobody is leaning over the counter asking how long for a large capricciosa. No new POS and no integration project: the queue is a web page on the device already at the bench, and the only staff motion is tapping ready when the box closes.
A Friday order, step by step
- The guest scans the QR at the counter and picks the pizzas on their phone.
- They pay — Apple Pay, Google Pay or card through your Stripe or Square — and go wait in the car.
- The ticket lands on the pickup queue at the bench, in paid order.
- The box closes, you tap ready. One ping goes out. They come back for a hot box.
One ping when the box closes
Pizzas take time and people know it. They pay, they go sit in the car or walk the dog. When the box closes they get one ping — tracking page first, WhatsApp if they have it, SMS as backup — and come back for a hot box, not a table of cold ones. Extra SMS after the cap is about 5 cents. Page orders are unlimited. The waterfall keeps the cost down: the tracking page costs nothing, WhatsApp comes out of the 1,000 a month on the A$99 plan (6,000 on Busy), and SMS only fires as the backup — 600 included, 2,200 on Busy.
Keep the margin on every pizza
Delivery marketplaces can introduce customers to your pizza shop, with fees and terms set by each provider. Takezi is a shop subscription — A$99 (600 SMS / 1,000 WhatsApp) or A$249 (2,200 SMS / 6,000 WhatsApp) plus GST. No food commission. Not a marketplace. Australia only. Available for Australian shops. Tell us about your shop to get started or arrange the optional 7-day trial.
Common questions
Do customers need an app to order a pizza?+
No. Walk-ins scan the QR with the phone camera, pick the pizzas, and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card through the shop's own Stripe or Square. No download, no account.
How do customers know when the pizza is ready?+
One ready ping when the box closes — tracking page first, WhatsApp if they have it, SMS as backup. They wait in the car instead of leaning over the counter, and come back for a hot box.
Does Takezi take a cut of each pizza?+
No. It is a shop subscription — A$99 a month (600 SMS / 1,000 WhatsApp) or A$249 (2,200 SMS / 6,000 WhatsApp) — with unlimited page orders and no food commission. Guests pay you directly.
