Let customers order days or weeks ahead for events, holidays and busy periods. Every order lands in a scheduled queue with pickup or delivery slots, so production is planned instead of guessed.

Big orders, planned instead of guessed
Events, holidays and catering land in a scheduled queue with every option captured and the money already in.
Dates and slots you control
Open pre-orders for specific dates, set capacity per day and per slot, and pause when you are full.
Every option and note captured
Sizes, flavours, dietary notes and messages on the item. Nothing is lost between the customer and the kitchen.
Deposits or full payment upfront

What owners say after switching
Customers love ordering from our own app. We've noticed they're placing orders up to 3 times more often compared to those who order by calling us or walk-ins.
Our journey with Order Tiger has been nothing short of incredible. In just 5 months, it has accounted for a staggering 40% of our total sales.
Order Tiger increased our direct online sales by more than double through delivery from third-party fleet and have saved us a lot of money.
