MenuBeacon product
Take direct pickup and delivery orders
Use your own digital menu for scheduled or ASAP orders, set delivery rules and hours, pause ordering when needed, and let customers follow status without a marketplace account.
Delivery requires restaurant configuration and Google Maps credentials. Pakistan supports cash on delivery; card payment depends on plan, market, and Stripe onboarding.
Illustrative workflow · Product behaviour described on this page
ASAP or scheduled
Offer available order slots based on hours, lead time, and capacity.
Delivery rules
Configure radius, minimum spend, delivery fees, and free-delivery thresholds.
Operational control
Pause and resume ordering, then accept or decline incoming orders.
The operational problem
Direct orders need more than a checkout button
A workable flow needs service hours, delivery areas, minimums, fees, preparation estimates, capacity, and an acceptance process the kitchen can actually run.
What changes
Restaurant-controlled ordering from menu to handoff
MenuBeacon covers pickup and restaurant-run delivery operations. It does not recruit riders, dispatch a marketplace fleet, or provide GPS courier tracking.
