Haywood County, North Carolina · Coming soon

Order it on your phone. Wait in your vehicle. Walk in and get it.

Pickup Supper is a free app for ordering ahead from local restaurants and food trucks in Haywood County — breakfast, lunch or supper. No phone call, no standing around, no delivery fee. You pay the menu price and pick it up yourself.

The problem

Getting to-go food from a local place is harder than it should be.

Everybody's done this. You call in an order during the supper rush, somebody scribbles it on a pad, and twenty minutes later you're standing around inside hoping they got it right.

CALLING IT IN WITH PICKUP SUPPER You call at 6:15 Busy, or on hold through the rush Somebody writes it on a pad while three people talk “About 20 minutes” No total, no ticket, no confirmation You stand up front In the way, waiting, hoping it's right You tap it in Every size, every topping. See the total. Kitchen gets it typed Paid for, with a pickup time on it You get a text When it's actually ready — not a guess Walk in, say the number Or stay in your vehicle and they bring it out
The same four stages, both ways. The difference isn't speed — it's that the order exists in writing, and you're not standing in the dining room for the last one.

No more talking on the phone and hoping they got it right. No more standing at the front of the restaurant waiting on your food.

Good for both sides

Better for you. Better for the restaurant.

One order does two jobs at once. It saves you a phone call and a wait, and it saves the kitchen a misheard ticket.

For you

You get your time back.

  • Order in about a minute, whenever it occurs to you — not when somebody can get to the phone
  • The whole total, tax and all, before you pay a dime
  • Nothing added on top. The menu price is the price
  • A text when it's genuinely ready, so you're not guessing at twenty minutes
  • Wait in your vehicle instead of inside
  • Your regular order saved — one tap next time
For the restaurant

They get every ticket in writing.

  • Orders arrive typed, paid for and timed. Nothing gets misheard during a rush
  • The phone stops tying up an employee for three minutes a ticket
  • They catch the orders that used to hang up at 6:15 and eat somewhere else
  • Their entryway back on a Friday night
  • A flat monthly fee. Never a cut of their sales
  • They keep their register, their card processor and their phone orders

Straight answer

What it is, and what it isn't.

What it is

  • A pickup-only ordering app for local restaurants and food trucks
  • Free to download, free to use, no membership
  • Real menus, built by hand with each owner — every size, every option, every way people actually order it
  • A text the moment your food is actually ready
  • Breakfast, lunch and supper — the name's just the name

What it isn't

  • Not a delivery service. Nobody brings it to your house
  • Not a markup. The price in the app is the price on their menu
  • Not a coupon app. We're not asking restaurants to discount their food
  • Not statewide. Haywood County first, and we mean it
  • No beer or wine at launch

Start to finish

How an order actually goes.

Pick a place

See what's open right now near you, as a list or on a map. Canton, Clyde, Waynesville, out toward Maggie Valley and Lake Junaluska.

Build the order the way you'd say it

Every choice that place offers, laid out the way they'd ask you at the counter. Prices show the real price, not "+$2." Leaving something off? There's a button for it.

See the whole ticket before you commit

Every line item, sales tax on its own line, and a service fee of $0.00. Nothing shows up on the last screen that wasn't on the one before it.

Pay and pick your time

As soon as possible, or a fifteen-minute window later today — handy when you're leaving a job site at 5:30 and want it hot at 6:00.

The kitchen gets it in writing

Typed, timed, printed the same way every time. Nobody's ear, nobody's handwriting, nobody's memory.

You get a text when it's ready

Not when it's started. Not an estimate. When the kitchen taps ready, your phone goes off.

Walk in and say the word

"Pickup Supper, order 1042." That's the whole handoff. Or stay in your vehicle and use curbside.

More than just you

Feeding a crew, or the whole family, without taking eight orders yourself.

After you pick the restaurant, you pick how you're ordering. Three ways.

Mode 01

Just me

One person, one order, one bag. The normal way.

Best for supper on the way home
Mode 02

Group

Everybody picks their own food on their own phone — and everybody pays for their own.

Best for a job-site crew or the office
Mode 03

Family / Friends

Everybody picks their own food on their own phone — and one person picks up the whole tab.

Everybody covers their own. KyleSamDanaMike FAMILY / FRIENDS Four bags, one card. You're buying. KyleSamDanaMike ONE CARD
Group and Family / Friends are the same thing with one switch flipped — who pays. Everything else is identical: one shared link, everybody builds their own order, one group number on every bag, and the restaurant labels each bag with the name on the ticket.
No code to type inYou share a link the normal way — a text, however you'd send anything. The app never asks for your contact list.
One number for the whole groupFour digits. It's on every bag, on the kitchen's board, and it's what you say at the counter.
Nothing sends until it all sendsThe kitchen doesn't get a trickle of tickets. It fires when the organizer taps "Send it," or at the cutoff — whichever comes first.
Every bag gets a name on itRequired of every restaurant. Nobody's digging through four bags in the parking lot.
Up to 10 peopleEnough for a crew or a full table. Bigger than that is catering, and that's a different thing.
Nobody's card gets hit earlyCards are held at checkout and only charged when the restaurant accepts. If they can't take it, no charge was ever made.

Curbside

Stay in your vehicle. Walk in when it's actually ready.

This is the part people tell us they want most. You're not standing inside with your hands in your pockets while the staff works around you.

THE RESTAURANT door cling Kitchen sees “Mike is here — silver SUV” Runner walks it out Saved once: color, make, body type I'M HERE one tap when you pull in you've arrived bag comes to you
You enter your vehicle's color, make and body type once — ever. After that curbside is one tap. If a restaurant would rather not run food out, you never see the option at all.

What's in it

The parts that make it worth keeping on your phone.

Tonight's Specials

App-only specials the restaurant posts that morning. Gone when they're gone, off the board at midnight.

Your saved orders

Your regular order at your regular place, one tap. It re-prices itself and tells you if anything changed.

Order for later today

Pick a fifteen-minute pickup window instead of standing around waiting.

Nothing's ever sold out

When the kitchen runs out of something it comes off the menu in one tap. You can't order what they don't have.

Don't forget

A short reminder of the extras that place is known for — drinks, sides, the sauce everybody asks for.

Tips go to the restaurant

One hundred percent, to the people who packed your bag. We don't touch tips.

A real receipt

Itemized, emailed every time, tax on its own line. Useful if you're feeding a crew and coding it to a job.

Rate it in one tap

One star to five, right after you eat. Only from people who actually ordered.

Ask for a restaurant

Not on here yet? Put their name in. We go in the order people ask.

What it costs you

You pay the menu price. Nothing else.

$0.00

Delivery fee. There's no driver — you're picking it up.

$0.00

Service fee. Nothing added at checkout, ever.

$0.00

Menu markup. Same price as the menu. Every restaurant agrees to that in writing before they go live.

So how does this pay for itself?

The restaurant pays us directly — a flat monthly fee, never a cut of what you spend. That's the whole model. Nothing comes out of your pocket, and nothing gets tacked onto their menu to cover us.

Where we're concentrating

Stage one is Haywood County. Stage two is all of Western North Carolina.

We'd rather do one county right than five counties halfway.

HAYWOOD COUNTY STAGE ONE · NOW STAGE TWO · NEXT WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
Haywood County is where every restaurant, every menu and every customer goes first. Once it's running right here, the same thing moves west and north across the mountains.
Stage one — nowHaywood County. Canton, Clyde, Waynesville, Maggie Valley, Lake Junaluska, Cruso and Bethel.
Stage two — nextThe 23 counties of Western North Carolina, in the order people ask for them.
LaterThe rest of the state is not on the map yet, and we're not going to pretend otherwise.

Every menu gets built by hand, sitting down with the owner — every size, every option, every way people actually order it — so it reaches the kitchen exactly the way you'd say it in person. That takes real time per restaurant, which is why we start close to home — if something goes wrong, we can drive over and fix it the same day.

Questions

The ones people keep asking.

Isn't this just calling the restaurant?
No, and this is the part worth reading. When you call, somebody writes your order on a pad during a rush and repeats back what they think they heard. Here it goes in typed — every size, every substitution, paid for, with a pickup time on it. The kitchen gets it in writing. And you get a text when it's actually ready instead of standing around inside hoping.
Is the app free?
Yes. Free to download, free to use, no membership and no subscription. You pay for your food and that's it.
How does a group order work if we all want different things?
That's exactly what it's for. One person picks the restaurant and sends a link around. Everybody opens it on their own phone and builds their own order — their own sizes, their own substitutions. It all fires to the kitchen at once as one group with one four-digit number, and every bag comes out labeled with a name on it. Up to ten people.
What's the difference between Group and Family / Friends?
Only one thing: who pays. In a Group, everybody pays for their own bag — good for a job-site crew. In Family / Friends, everybody still picks their own food but one card covers all of it — good for supper at the house or when you're buying for the office.
Do I have to stand inside and wait?
No. That's half the reason this exists. You stay in your vehicle until the text comes, then walk in and say your order number. If the restaurant runs curbside, you don't go in at all — you tap "I'm here" and they bring it out to you.
Do you deliver?
No, and we're not planning to. The second you add a driver you add a fee, and the fee is the thing we're trying to get rid of.
What if the restaurant can't take my order?
Your card is only held, not charged, until they accept it. If they're slammed or closed early, the hold is released and no charge was ever made. On a debit card the pending line can take about a day to disappear from your banking app — that's your bank, not us holding your money.
What if my favorite place isn't on it?
Tell us — there's a tab at the top of this page for exactly that. Put the name in and we'll go see them. Leave your number and you'll get a text the day they're live.
Can I order beer or wine?
Not at launch. Alcohol pickup brings ID rules we're not ready to handle properly, and we'd rather not do it at all than do it halfway.
When can I download it?
Soon. We're building menus with restaurants right now, and a first group goes live before it opens to everybody. Get on the early access list and we'll text you the day it's live so you don't have to keep checking.
