Skip the queue, grab and go
Your regulars are busy. Let them order ahead.
Pre-orders mean shorter queues, smoother service, and customers who come back because you respect their time.
Queues cost you customers
When the line stretches out the door, people walk past. Every one of them is a sale you didn't make.
Walk-bys during rush
Customers see a long queue and keep walking. They needed coffee, but they needed to get to work more.
Peak time pressure
Baristas rushing, orders backing up, mistakes happening. The morning rush shouldn't feel like chaos every day.
No customer data
You see the same faces every morning but know nothing about them. No way to send them a thank-you or bring them back.
Your regulars want to support you. Make it easy for them.
Pre-orders change everything
Customers order on their phone, pick up without waiting. You prep in advance, serve more people, stress less.
Scheduled collection
Customers choose when they'll pick up. Order on the commute, collect on arrival. No waiting for either of you.
Prep in advance
See what's coming before customers arrive. Start that flat white at 8:10 so it's ready at 8:15.

Common questions
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card required to start.
Are there any per-order commissions?
No. TypeMenu charges a flat monthly subscription with zero commission on your orders. The only additional cost is standard card processing fees from your payment provider — Stripe is built in with simple onboarding, and if you use Square POS, payments go through Square instead. Either way, the fees go to your payment provider, not to us.
Will my customers actually use it instead of Just Eat or Deliveroo?
TypeMenu isn't about replacing aggregators — it's about giving your existing customers a better way to order directly from you. Customers who already know your cafe don't need a marketplace to find you. A direct link, QR code, or social media post is all it takes to shift repeat orders away from platforms that take 25%+ of every sale.
Can I use this alongside Just Eat or Deliveroo?
Absolutely. Most of our customers run both. Aggregators are great for discovery and reaching new customers. TypeMenu is for converting those customers into direct, commission-free repeat orders. The two work well side by side.
Do you provide delivery drivers?
No. TypeMenu is an ordering platform, not a logistics company. You handle your own deliveries or offer collection — which means you stay in control of the customer experience and don't pay rider fees.
Do I need technical skills to set up my cafe online?
No technical skills required. TypeMenu is designed to be set up by anyone. Most businesses are live within 30–60 minutes, and we're happy to help if you need onboarding support.
Do I need any special hardware?
No. Everything runs in the browser — your dashboard, kitchen display, and your customers' storefront. Any phone, tablet, or computer you already have will work.
What happens to my customer data?
Your data is always yours. You can export customers, orders, and reports at any time. We never sell or share your data, and we're fully GDPR compliant.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees. You can cancel directly from your dashboard at any time. Your storefront stays active until the end of your billing period.
