What are Online Pre-Orders?
Our online pre-order system for gold accounts allows people your customers to pick from a menu before they arrive, saving time in the venue, freeing up staff time and keeping your kitchen moving.
On BookingNinja, you can add entire menus to our site within minutes, list prices (or don't), set categories and order them and apply them to as many different sessions as you like.
Your customers get a fast, simple link to a form where they can enter thier name and thier choices. You can also chase customers for thier choices after a certain amount of time has passed, send reminders, lock pre-orders and make your own edits as you need.
