Field to collection
Customers order ahead, you prep what's needed.
Pre-orders for meat boxes, seasonal veg, and weekend specials. Know exactly what to prepare before customers arrive.
Weekend rush, weekday guesswork
Saturdays are chaos. Customers queue for the counter. Popular items sell out. Phone rings for orders you can't take while you're serving.
Everyone arrives at once
Saturday morning, the shop fills up. Regulars wait behind tourists. Popular items run out. Some customers leave empty-handed.
Can't take them while serving
"Can I reserve a meat box for Saturday?" Phone rings while you're serving the counter. Orders get missed or details get lost.
Prep based on guesswork
How many Christmas turkeys? How much lamb for Easter? Without pre-orders, you're guessing—and either wasting stock or running out.
Your regulars want to support local. Make it easy for them to order ahead.

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 farm shop 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 farm shop 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.
