Customers are able to pre-order a desired item via the app, pay on their smartphones using a stored credit card or Apple Pay for either collection or delivery at a time that suits them.

The Order & Pay app also enables customers to obtain loyalty points from their favourite bar, cafe or restaurant, for each transaction they make. This allows small businesses to reward their most valuable, recurring customers.

The launch of this product is part of intelligentpos by iZettle’s overall mission to provide smaller businesses in the food and drink industry with tools that will empower them to compete with bigger chains and truly grow their businesses.

Graeme Horsfall, General Manager at intelligentpos by iZettle says, “We’ve launched Order & Pay to empower our small business customers, allowing them to open up new sales channels, reclaim their neighbourhood and succeed in trading alongside bigger corporations."

“Now, small business owners can increase customer happiness whilst gaining invaluable data which can be used in targeted marketing campaigns.”

To install, intelligentpos by iZettle works with each small business to build and design an Order & Pay app that is bespoke and tailored to its branding. The app, which includes app store hosting on Apple and Android, costs a fixed monthly fee of £49.
