POS for Pizzerias: Answer the Phone Already Knowing the Order.
Caller ID, delivery zones and your own online ordering, running through an outage.
What This Business Needs at the Counter.
A pizzeria is a phone room with an oven attached.
Know the caller
Is it in range
The usual, again
Toppings that price themselves
One screen, not five tablets
Selling through an outage
Order Counter, Built for the Phone Rush.
Square suits a slice counter. Order Counter documents caller ID and driver address texts, which phone-heavy delivery shops need.
Also in the lineup
Square for Restaurants. Better for a walk-up slice shop that wants published pricing, with crust, size and topping modifiers and a branded online ordering page.
Caller ID
The caller's information pops up automatically, across as many phone lines as you set.
Delivery zones
Addresses autocomplete and land in the delivery zone you drew.
Driver address texts
The delivery address goes to the driver by text or email.
Marketplace orders in the POS
Uber Eats and Grubhub orders print in the kitchen through ItsACheckmate.
Per-topping pricing
OptionSets give each topping its own price.
Hybrid server
An in-house server keeps stations selling through an internet outage.
Read the full picture
Order Counter describes its delivery tools in its own knowledge base: a Caller ID module that shows customer phone numbers and, with Caller ID for takeout turned on, brings the customer's information up automatically; a setting for how many phone lines the module supports; delivery addresses sent to drivers by text or email; and delivery zone rules including a fee for addresses outside any zone.
Its delivery and takeout page adds address prediction as the order is typed, a check against polygon delivery zones so the order can be dispatched, and customer order history for reorders. Order Counter says on the same page that most delivery orders resemble earlier ones; that figure is its own claim, not an industry statistic.
On online ordering, Order Counter offers an ordering portal for the restaurant's own site, positioned as a way around the commission charged by marketplace ordering companies. It does not publish a price for that portal or for the POS, so we quote it per location after a demo. Marketplace orders still arrive, but through ItsACheckmate into the POS and kitchen printer instead of a separate tablet.
Square for Restaurants has a dedicated pizzeria page with modifier groups for crust, size and toppings, a branded online ordering page, pickup and local delivery. It is the better choice where most orders happen at the counter. Neither vendor documents half-and-half topping pricing on the pages we checked, so we test that during the demo with your menu.
