QR ordering for takeaway shops
A sticker on the counter. A guest's camera. An order that is paid before anyone yells a name. That is the whole idea.
Why a QR, not another app
Takeaway guests will not download a shop app for a flake and chips. They will point the camera they already have at a code next to the till. Takezi opens the menu in the browser. No account. No App Store fight on a Friday night.
What happens after the scan
They pick the food, pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card through your Stripe or Square, and walk away. You see the ticket on the pickup queue. They sit in the car, wander the street, or go back to the beach. When you tap ready they get one ping — tracking page first, WhatsApp if they have it, SMS as backup.
Versus the phone and the marketplace
Phone orders still work. They also tie up the person who should be cooking. Uber and Menulog will take pickup, and they take a cut. A QR on your own counter keeps the order, the customer, and the margin. Card fees stay with Stripe or Square. Takezi is a shop subscription, not a marketplace.
Shops this is built for
Fish and chips, pizza, Asian takeaway, burger, chicken. Independent Australian shops, not a food court in another country. Anywhere in Australia — the suburban strips where the dinner rush still happens at a window.
What you put on the counter
One QR. Same code on the window and a poster if you want. Staff run takezi.app on a phone or tablet. Guests never install anything. If you already take Uber, Menulog, or phone orders, leave those on while you move pickup back in-house.
