It’s not just a nice-to-have anymore—it’s a strategic move that helps restaurants serve more customers, simplify operations, and grow without the extra overhead. If you're looking for a practical way to increase sales and streamline service in 2025, car collection might just be your best bet.
What Is Car Collection (Curbside Pickup)?
Car collection allows customers to:
- Place an order online through your website or app.
- Drive to your restaurant and park in a designated area.
- Have their food brought directly to their car—no need to enter the store.
It’s a faster, safer, and more efficient version of takeaway—and a proven way to meet demand during peak hours, especially in busy cities or family-heavy areas where dining in isn’t always convenient.
Why It Boosts Sales and Efficiency
Adding car collection to your restaurant offering helps you:
- Serve more customers without expanding your seating area.
- Capture higher order values, since customers tend to order more online than they do in person.
- Reduce delivery commissions and staffing pressure.
- Offer convenience that keeps customers coming back.
In fact, over 70% of consumers say they’re more likely to choose a restaurant that offers curbside pickup. And operators that implement it well often see repeat orders and improved guest satisfaction.
How to Set It Up Smoothly
You don’t need a complex system or major investment to start offering car collection. Here’s what to have in place:
- Online Ordering Option: Your website or app should include “Car Collection” or “Curbside Pickup” as a checkout option.
- Car Details Field: Let customers enter their car make, model, or license plate for easy identification.
- Order Updates: Send SMS or push notifications when the order is being prepared and ready.
- Parking Signage: Designate a few spots near your entrance with clear signage.
- Staff Protocol: Train your team to monitor incoming pickup orders and deliver them quickly with a friendly handoff.
Solutions like Weevi already include these features out of the box—no need to set them up separately.
Tips to Make the Experience Even Better
To impress customers and ensure a smooth pickup flow:
- Offer real-time tracking so they know when their order is ready.
- Send a “We’re on the way” notification when the order is en route to their car.
- Add pickup instructions and signage outside your restaurant.
- Request quick feedback to show you care about their experience.
Restaurants that create a smooth car collection experience often see increased loyalty and word-of-mouth referrals.
A Key Part of a Flexible Ordering System
Car collection works best as part of a full-service digital ordering strategy that includes:
- Dine-in ordering via QR menus
- Takeaway and walk-in pickup
- Delivery, managed in-house or through a third party
By giving customers multiple, seamless ways to order, you increase order frequency and reduce dependency on any single channel.
