Foodpanda orders in your POS: how to stop typing every order twice
Restaurants2 min read
For many restaurants in Pakistan, Foodpanda is a big share of sales. But in most kitchens, Foodpanda orders still arrive on a separate tablet, and someone reads each one out or types it into the POS. At peak time, that is where orders go wrong.
In this guide
The problem with a second tablet
- Orders typed twice. Every retyped order is a chance to get an item or an add-on wrong.
- Orders missed. A tablet chiming in a busy kitchen is easy to ignore.
- Kitchen confusion. Foodpanda orders do not join the same queue as dine-in and takeaway, so cooks juggle two lists.
- Reports that do not add up. Foodpanda sales sit in a different place from counter sales, so you never see the real total.
What Foodpanda integration means
With integration, Foodpanda orders drop straight into the POS and the kitchen. They print a kitchen ticket or appear on the kitchen screen at the right station, exactly like a dine-in order. Nobody types anything.
What changes in the kitchen
Cooks work from one queue. Dine-in, takeaway, delivery and Foodpanda orders appear in the order they were placed, each marked with where it came from. When an order is done, the cook marks it ready.
What changes in your reports
Foodpanda sales sit in the same reports as everything else, so you can compare channels, see your best selling Foodpanda items and know your real daily total.
Your own ordering website as well
Marketplaces bring new customers. Your own ordering website lets regulars order without commission. With RestaurantOS, orders from your own online store arrive on the till like any other order. Our website service builds restaurant ordering sites in your own brand.
Delivery riders and zones
