Live order tracking Live order tracking: guests follow every step on their phone

Live order tracking in egymenu means guests know where their order is without asking anyone. After a guest orders from the QR menu, a tracking page opens in their browser and updates on its own: received, preparing, ready, delivered. On delivery orders they also see the driver on a map until the driver arrives. Every step the kitchen marks with a tap shows up for the guest at the same moment. Order tracking is included in plans from $50 a month, with no commission on orders and a 7-day free trial.

A tracking page that opens right after ordering

Once the guest reviews and sends the order, the tracking page opens in the same browser. No app to download, no account to create, and no need to refresh: it updates on its own.

Every tap in the kitchen reaches the guest

When a cook moves the order to preparing and then to ready on the kitchen display, the guest's page updates at the same moment. Nobody has to go and tell the guest how their order is doing.

  • Preparing
  • Ready
  • Delivered

Ready when every station is done

If your kitchen is split into stations, such as the grill and drinks, the order is marked ready automatically once every station has finished its part. That is the moment the guest sees their order is ready.

On delivery: the driver on a map

Delivery orders get one more step: driver on the way. The guest sees the driver live on a map until the driver arrives, then leaves a rating. No more calls to the restaurant asking where the order is.

Guests who ask, or guests who can see?

Without live tracking, waiting turns into questions and phone calls.
