Takeaway order-ahead with kitchen-friendly pickup times
Takeaways: orders ahead, paced for the kitchen. Commission-free and paid up front.
Phone orders misheard, crowded counters and delivery apps taking a cut. We build order-ahead systems for takeaways.
Looking for takeaway online ordering?
Takeaways need orders that arrive at a pace the kitchen can handle. We build ordering with pickup slots and payment up front.
Wollopit builds ordering, bookings, menus and websites for takeaways around how your venue actually runs. We connect the POS and tools you already use, cut out the commissions you don't need to pay and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back on the floor.

Everything under one roof
Software, websites and systems for takeaways.
Whether you're starting fresh or upgrading what you've got, it's one team from the first sketch to the support call.
Custom software for takeaways
Built around how your takeaway actually runs: order-ahead, online payment and the admin in between, in one system you own.
Websites for takeaways
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.
Takeaway system upgrades
Running on spreadsheets, old software or a platform you've outgrown? We move your data across and upgrade in stages so the business never stops.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your takeaway: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things takeaways ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Do we need special hardware?
No. Orders can come through a tablet, printer or your existing POS where supported.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your takeaway. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Will it work with our POS?
Usually, yes. We connect to common systems like Square and Lightspeed so orders, menus and stock line up. If yours is holding you back we'll talk options first.
Do we stop paying commission?
On orders and bookings that come through your own website, yes. You pay your card fees and that's it, instead of handing over a cut of every sale.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most takeaways we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
