Hot food takeaways sell pizza, kebabs, fish and chips, curry, chicken and noodles, mostly in a few busy hours each evening. Many take orders by phone and message, and lose money when customers don't turn up to collect or pay. A payments app that sends a link to pay when the order is placed, and a QR code on the counter for walk-ins, can win these takeaways, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take payment when the order is placed
