Where the kitchen started
Inquiries about takeaway ordering reached the Chinese takeaway with collection counter as free-form emails. Some were detailed, many were a single line, and none followed a shared shape.
What it was costing the team
For takeaway ordering, whoever opened the inbox first had to chase the missing details before the message could be passed on. On a busy day, that follow-up alone could push an answer into the next morning.
What we built
The fix, in the order a customer meets it
The new form collects delivery ZIP code, order time and menu category at the point of inquiry. Messages land in a readable format with the category identified, and the sender is told the next step is a handoff to the appropriate ordering channel.
On the ticket
- Purpose-specific fields
- Readable notifications
- Clear response expectations

10 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover.
What changed
Day to day with takeaway ordering, the opening message does the work the third message used to do. The walkthrough improves intake hygiene without implying any request is accepted on arrival.
I read one message about takeaway ordering and I have the full picture. It seems obvious now, which is probably the point.
Does your ordering page have the same gap?
