You see what sold, and what people wanted.

You already have the food. The challenge is getting the right people to see it.

Slow hours

Your kitchen is ready and staffed, but demand isn't always predictable.

Food that may not sell

Some food is already prepared, but the customers who'd want it don't know it exists.

No direct audience

A customer enjoys your food once, then disappears. You have no easy way to bring them back.

Limited demand visibility

You know what sold. But do you know what people looked for and couldn't find?

How PrepOrder works

Three steps, and you're selling.

1

Put your food on PrepOrder

Create your restaurant, add your branches, publish your menu. Or request access to a restaurant that's already here.

No technical setup. No integration work.
2

Get discovered

Customers browse food near them, search for what they're craving, follow restaurants and find offers worth ordering.

Pickup only is a fine place to start.
3

Turn attention into orders

Accept orders, manage preparation and fulfillment, then see what brought customers in and what brings them back.

You're paid for fulfilled orders, on schedule.
Get your restaurant on PrepOrder

Don't just wait for customers to find you.

Create reasons for the right customers to discover, follow and order from your restaurant.

Sell

Turn your menu into orders

Your restaurant and your dishes get found by people already looking for something to eat nearby.

Result: more chances to convert demand that already exists.
Promote

Put the right food in front of the right people

Run a campaign for one dish, one offer or the whole restaurant, aimed at the customers most likely to order it.

Result: visibility without discounting everything.
Save
Limited time

Turn surplus into sales

Have food you need to move before close? Publish a time-limited or quantity-limited offer and let nearby customers claim it.

Result: value recovered from food that would otherwise go unsold.
Grow

Build an audience you can bring back

Customers can follow your restaurant. You can reward the ones who stay with offers made only for them.

Result: every order can become a customer relationship.

Don't lose your customers after one order.

When people love your restaurant, they can follow you. That gives you an audience already interested in what you make.

Sell strategically. Not just cheaper.

An offer doesn't always mean a discount. It can simply mean: this is worth ordering today.

"Our new grilled chicken is available today" at its normal price is a perfectly good offer. PrepOrder decides what gets attention. You decide what things cost.

Sell
Highlight something worth ordering right now.
Promote
Give a dish or a promotion more visibility with the customers it suits.
Save
Move surplus before it goes to waste, on your terms and your quantity.
Every offer keeps your pricing in your hands. PrepOrder only decides what gets attention.
Campaigns

Reach customers with a purpose.

Instead of posting and hoping, say what you're trying to do. PrepOrder handles the distribution and shows you what came of it.

Your goal

More orders

Promote the food people near you are most likely to order today.

Your goal

Sell surplus

Create urgency around a limited quantity that needs to move before close.

Your goal

Grow followers

Turn one-time discovery into an audience you can reach again next week.

Then see what happened.

Attention is useful. Orders are the goal.

See opportunities hiding in customer demand.

Searches, views, alerts and scheduled orders all say something. PrepOrder turns them into things you can act on.

Built for people who don't know what they want to eat yet.

Most customers don't search "Chicken Pizza". They open the app thinking: I'm hungry, what should I eat? PrepOrder's food copilot turns that vague intent into real dishes near them.

Your food can be discovered even when the customer has never heard of your restaurant.

Customers can also ask about your restaurant before ordering — ingredients, dietary details, opening hours — without you answering the same question twenty times a day.

A customer asks
I feel like chicken, but I only have 20,000 UGX.

Alerts work the same way in reverse: when someone looks for food nobody nearby has, that unmet demand comes back to restaurants who could make it.
Scheduled orders

Know about tomorrow's order before tomorrow arrives.

A customer schedules breakfast tonight for pickup at 8:00 AM. You see it tonight — which means earlier demand visibility, easier prep planning and a smoother handover in the morning.

Alerts

Know what customers want, even when you don't have it.

Someone looks for burritos under 15,000 UGX nearby. Nothing is available, so they set an alert. PrepOrder aggregates that unmet demand and brings it back to the restaurants who could make it.

You stop only seeing what sold, and start seeing what could have sold.

Your restaurant. Your prices. Your control.

PrepOrder is the marketplace and ordering layer. Everything about how you run the kitchen stays with you.

You control your menu
Items, prices, portions, fine print.
You control availability
Open, closed, sold out — per branch.
You decide which offers run
Terms, quantity, and for how long.
You control campaigns
What gets promoted, to whom, and when it stops.
You manage branches and staff
Access by role and by branch.
Orders and earnings are transparent
Every order recorded, every payout traceable.
No monthly fee to start. PrepOrder earns when you earn.

You pay a commission on orders that are successfully fulfilled — nothing before that. Payments are collected securely, recorded against the order, and settled on the payout schedule.

Start selling on PrepOrder

Every interaction can teach you something.

Searches reveal demand. Views reveal interest. Orders reveal buying behaviour. Alerts reveal what people want and can't find.

PrepOrder turns those signals into marketplace intelligence you can use — and there's more of it available as the marketplace grows.

Built around real restaurant problems

We started with the food that didn't sell.

PrepOrder was designed with restaurant owners describing the same four problems: quiet hours, prepared food with no buyer, customers who never come back, and no idea what people were looking for. Every part of this page maps to one of them. We'd rather show you that than invent numbers.

Questions restaurants ask us

Do I need technical knowledge?

No. Add your restaurant, your branches and your menu, then manage orders from the dashboard.

Can I use PrepOrder if I already have delivery?

Yes. Your existing delivery capability can be brought into the fulfillment experience, while PrepOrder stays the marketplace and ordering layer.

What if I only offer pickup?

Pickup is a complete way to start. Many restaurants never need anything else.

Who controls prices?

You do. The restaurant sets catalog pricing and the terms of every offer.

How does PrepOrder make money?

A commission on successfully fulfilled orders. There's no monthly fee to start.

When do I get paid?

Payments are collected securely, recorded against the order and settled to your restaurant on the payout schedule.

Can I have multiple branches and staff?

Yes to both. Add as many branches as you run, and give staff dashboard access scoped to their role and branch.

Can I join a restaurant that's already on PrepOrder?

Yes. Request access through the restaurant's join process and an owner or manager approves you.

Your next customer may already be looking for what you make.

Get your restaurant discovered, turn demand into orders, and build an audience that comes back.
