1. Requirements

You need to have Guest apps enabled with at least one venue active. If you are not sure whether you have this, please refer to

• Getting started with Quickorder guest apps

2. Prepare a menu for your guests

In the Backoffice go to Menu

You can have multiple menus depending on how you run your restaurant. The recommendation from us is to separate the POS menu card and the menu card you show to guests. Do the following:

1. Create a menu card for your POS
2. Copy this menu card by clicking the three dots at the end and choose 'Copy'

A message will show to inform you that you are about to create a copy of the POS menu card with 'referenced' products. This means that if you update a product in one menu that product will also be updated in the other menu.

Once you have your new menu

• Remove the products that you do not want to show to guests. Examples could be special discounted items for employees etc.

• If you give guests a bag for their food you can take money for this 

• Create a new product in your POS menu (not the takeaway men, since you don't want this product as something the guests can choose themselves) and name it bag (or something similar).
• On the new product enable the setting pointed out in the screenshot below.
• 

Once you have a satisfactory menu you can move on to the next steps below.

3. Enabling takeaway

Then edit the venue

and update Takeaway preparation time.

Preparation time is the minutes we will add to all takeaway orders so you have enough time to manage your orders.

• Example: If you set the preparation time to 20 min. then the earliest pick-up time for an order made at 17:00 is 17:20. 

Step 2: Menu level

In the Backoffice, go to Menu and click the Menu card button for all the menus that you would like to be displayed for takeaway

Step 3: Set up pick-up hours

Edit the menu card you have enabled takeaway for

There is a tab called 'Takeaway (Pickup hours)'. Here you can set up when guests can choose their pick-up time in the app.

When you have updated the Pickup hours click 'save' in the top of the screen

Step 4: link to smiley reports (DK restaurants only)

Danish law require you to link to Smiley reports in your app.

  • Save

Step 5: Get the QR code for marketingmateriale

1. The guest will find your takeaway menu link from your website
