- 3The order lands with you
Delis and cheese shops sell cheese, cured meats, bread and speciality foods over the counter, often to regulars. Many also take orders for hampers, cheese boards and party platters, busiest before Christmas, and some post orders to customers further away. A payments app that takes quick counter payments, collects payment for hamper and platter orders by link and takes payment for posted orders can win these shops, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take payment for hampers and platters
A payment link when a hamper or platter is ordered means the shop is paid before buying stock, and collection is quick on busy days.

Take payment for posted orders
A payment link sent after a customer orders by phone or message lets them pay at once, so the order can be posted the same day.
Grow through local food businesses
Delis buy from local farms, bakers and makers, and sit near cafés and butchers. One shop on your app can introduce the others.
