Salient Features
Contactless Dine-in
Design custom menus with your logo and receive orders via an interactive online ordering system. Plugd offers contactless dine-in solutions for full table service restaurants, QSRs, and food courts. Enhance your customers’ dine-in experience by empowering customers to order via a mobile ordering app or a web-based POS.
Order Ahead (Rapid Dining)
Unlike ChowNow, Plugd empowers you to receive pre-orders - enabling restaurants to maintain a quicker table turnaround during rush hours. Plugd’s Rapid Dining feature also facilitates restaurant customers who don’t like to wait. With Order Ahead, empower your customers to place food orders while they’re on their way and get served moments after arriving at the restaurant.
Pickup
Receive orders via our mobile or web ordering app - enabling your restaurant customers to pick up food hassle-free without having to wait in the queue. Customers can choose to collect their orders from the counter or have them delivered via curbside pickup.
Self-delivery solution
Remove the middleman out of the equation. Plugd doesn’t charge any order processing fees or per order commissions. Save up to 30% of your profitability by managing deliveries yourself. Maximize your efficiency as our Staff App displays orders received, prepared, and delivered in real-time.
