What is an order taking app?

An order taking app, or order taking application, lets customers place orders themselves instead of dictating them over the phone or in chat. Take App gives you a store link and a QR code: customers browse your menu or catalog, check out, and pay, and the order lands in your app — typed, complete, and confirmed on WhatsApp.

Is Take App free to use?

Yes. Create your store on the free plan: add your items, share the link on WhatsApp, and start taking orders. Upgrade only when you need more.

Is there an order taking app for Android and iOS?

Yes. The Take App app is free on the App Store and Google Play. New orders arrive on your phone with a notification, and you can confirm them, change the status, and take payment from the app. The same orders are on the web dashboard for the counter or the back office.

Is it a restaurant order taking app?

Yes — food businesses are the most common use. Guests order from a QR code at the table or a link in WhatsApp, the kitchen works from tickets on a kitchen display, and delivery, takeaway, and pickup orders pick a time slot at checkout.

Can I use it as a B2B order taking app?

Yes. Wholesale and B2B suppliers use the same store to take bulk orders: buyers reorder from their order history, pay by bank transfer with the receipt attached to the order, and get a PDF invoice for their records.

Do customers need to download an app?

No. Your store opens in the phone's browser from the link or the QR scan, and order updates arrive in WhatsApp. The app is for you, not for them.

Can I still take phone and walk-in orders?

Yes. Punch them into the dashboard yourself, or ring them up with the point of sale on your phone. They join the same order list and the same sales report as everything ordered online.

Paso a paso

How to Set Up an Order Taking App

Three steps, no hardware, and nothing for your customers to install.

Build your menu or catalog

Add your items with photos, prices, and options like size, spice level, or add-ons. The catalog is the order form, so anything on it gets ordered exactly as written.

Share the link and the QR code

Drop the link into WhatsApp replies and your Instagram bio, and print the QR code for tables and the counter. Customers order from their own phone — nothing to download, no account to create.

Get every order on your phone

Each order is pushed to the Take App app on iOS and Android, and to the web dashboard, with items, notes, address, and payment attached. Confirm it in one tap and the customer gets the update on WhatsApp.

Orders Arrive Typed, Not Dictated

The customer who used to voice-note their order now picks from your menu and checks out. You get items, quantities, notes, and the address in one structured order — not fifteen messages to re-read during the lunch rush.

Your Menu Is the Order Form

Sizes, add-ons, and stock live on the item, so "large, less ice, oat milk" is three taps instead of three clarifying questions. Change a price once and every order after it is right.

Every Order in One App

WhatsApp orders, table orders, and the phone order you punched in yourself land in the same app on your phone, and on the web dashboard at the counter. Change the status, print the ticket, mark it done — nobody in the kitchen works from a screenshot again.

A Restaurant Order Taking App on Every Table

One QR code per table lets guests browse, order, and pay without flagging a server. The order reaches the counter the moment it is placed, on the same list as everything else.

B2B and Wholesale Orders, Same Store

Supplying cafes and shops instead of feeding diners? Buyers reorder last week's list from their order history in two taps, invoices download as PDFs, and the bank-transfer receipt sits on the order it pays for.

Also included

Everything After the Order Arrives

A kitchen display, delivery and pickup slots, stock tracking, PDF invoices, and a sales report — taking the order is step one, so the rest is included.
