Let them order before they get to you
A queue at the counter is a customer you can serve. A queue in your messages is not. TinyOrder gives your café or stall a pickup page, so the orders are in one numbered list before you open.
Pickup only, if that is all you do
Turn delivery off and your page offers collection alone, with your address on it. Or keep both and let the customer choose. Nothing on the page offers a service you do not run.
The morning's orders are in before the morning is
Each order names the day it is for and arrives numbered, with the customer, their number and what they want. You prepare against a list instead of reading back through messages while a queue forms.
Read the order number off your phone
Every order has a number, and you mark it preparing, ready or done as you go. A customer who has the number can check it on your page, so "is mine ready" stops being a message you answer with both hands full.
One link, and a QR code for the sign
Your dashboard gives you the shop link and a QR code for it. Print the code for the stall front or the counter, and a customer standing there can order the next batch without queueing twice.
Questions we get asked
- Can I turn delivery off completely?
- Yes. A shop can offer pickup only, delivery only, or both. With pickup only, your page shows your collection address and never asks for a delivery address.
- How does a customer find their order when they arrive?
- By the order number. Every order gets one, the customer sees it when they order, and you find the same number in your list — no name-spelling at a busy counter.
- Can I take pre-orders only for the days I am at the market?
- Yes — pick the exact dates you take orders for, and your page offers only those. Or set a rolling window instead: the notice you need, how far ahead to take orders, and the weekdays you are closed.
- Do I need a printer or a tablet?
- No. The order list is a web page, so the phone in your apron works. An email arrives when an order lands, and a Telegram alert reaches everyone working the stall.
