Payfrit is a smarter way to order, pay, and connect with the places you already love. Whether you’re dining in, picking up, or getting delivery, Payfrit gives you one simple way to interact with participating restaurants and businesses—without forcing you into a separate experience for every type of service. At participating locations, Payfrit can use nearby service points and location beacons to help connect you with the right place automatically. From there, you can browse menus, place orders, manage your order/tab, communicate with the business, and pay from your phone. DINING IN Order directly from your phone while dining at participating locations. Payfrit can connect you to the appropriate service point, helping the business know where your order belongs without unnecessary steps. Your order/tab stays with you as you continue using the location, making it easier to add items, manage your experience, and pay when you’re ready. TAKEAWAY Order ahead from participating businesses and follow your order as it moves through preparation and pickup. Payfrit helps businesses manage dine-in, takeaway, and delivery through the same system, so you get a more direct connection with the people actually preparing and fulfilling your order. DELIVERY Order delivery from participating restaurants while keeping the restaurant itself at the center of the experience. Delivery availability, pricing, service areas, timing, and fulfillment options are controlled by each participating business. Depending on the location, delivery may be handled by the restaurant, a participating Payfrit delivery network, or another supported fulfillment method. DIRECT COMMUNICATION Payfrit is designed to keep the relationship between you and the business intact. Participating businesses can communicate with you about your order, answer questions, handle special requests, provide updates, and resolve issues without requiring the relationship to be handed off to a traditional marketplace. ONE APP, MULTIPLE WAYS TO ORDER • Dine in • Takeaway • Delivery • Browse participating locations • Place and manage orders • Maintain an active order/tab • Make secure payments • Add tips • Send special requests • Receive order updates • Communicate with participating businesses BUILT AROUND THE REAL WORLD Payfrit is built around service points rather than forcing every business into the same model. A service point might be a restaurant table, counter, bar, pickup area, concession stand, venue section, or another place where service happens. Some locations may also use broader geofencing beacons to recognize that you’re nearby while still letting you decide whether you want to participate. You remain in control. You can use Payfrit remotely, use it while physically at a business, or choose not to enable nearby-location features. MORE THAN A DELIVERY MARKETPLACE Payfrit is designed as a direct commerce platform for local businesses. Instead of separating restaurants from their customers, Payfrit gives participating businesses tools to manage service while giving customers one consistent app for ordering across different situations. Availability and features vary by participating business and location. Download Payfrit and experience a more direct way to order.
