Takeaway orders

Your takeaway, on your own address

A real Clay site — built from a Google listing

A shop and a basket on your own site, and an order button that hands the order to your WhatsApp instead of a platform.

You know what the commission is on a twelve-euro curry, because you have seen it on the statement. A third of it goes before the rice, the box, the gas and the person who cooked it are paid for — and the customer is not yours either. Their name, their number and everything they have ordered from you sit on somebody else's server.

Clay puts a takeaway shop in front of the thread you already use. Dishes with photographs, prices and options like spice level or extra naan, each at its own address, and a basket that adds up. The order button opens WhatsApp with the whole order typed out, and they press send. Nothing is charged on the page, and the page says so.

What the commission buys

The rider and the shelf

Two things on a delivery platform are genuinely worth money, and it is worth being straight about which. One is the rider — somebody on a moped at half past nine on a Friday, dispatched by software you do not have to run. The other is the shelf: being one of fifty kitchens a hungry person scrolls past.

Clay gives you neither. There are no riders here and no marketplace, and nobody who has never heard of you will find you inside it. What it takes back is the order that was never in question — the regular who knows your name, the office that orders every Thursday, the collection order somebody would rather ring in.

How an order arrives

A message, not a checkout

The message carries the quantities, the dish names and the options they picked — medium, no coriander, three naan. It does not carry a total and it does not carry an address. They saw the prices on the page, and what it comes to and when it is ready is two lines of a conversation you are having anyway.

So there is no order screen of ours to check, and no record on our side: once the message is handed over, nothing comes back to us. Stock is a yes or a no rather than a count, so two people can order the last portion on a Saturday. In a thread that is one sentence to whoever was second.

Questions

Can customers pay by card?

No. There is no card checkout for a product anywhere on Clay. The basket writes the order and hands it to WhatsApp, and you take the money the way you take it now — on collection, on delivery, or by whatever link you already send.

So this replaces Deliveroo or Uber Eats?

Not for a stranger at ten on a Friday — there is no rider and no marketplace here, and that is what the commission pays for. It replaces the orders that were already yours: the regulars, the office order, the collection somebody rings in.

Can people order straight off the menu?

No. A dish on the menu is for reading and has no add button. Put the things worth ordering in the shop as products with their own options, and let the menu stay what it is — the list on the wall.

What happens when I sell out of something?

Mark it sold out and the dish's own page says so where the Add button was. The shop grid only dims the card, though, so it can still be added from there — today the safe move is to pull it off the shop until tomorrow.

How do people find the shop?

The way they find you now, minus the middleman: the number on the flyer, the bio link, the sticker on the door and a code on the counter, which costs nothing because it is a picture of your own address — a QR code.

What you get

Every dish has its own page

Its own address, its own photograph and its price in structured data — so one dish can be the thing somebody finds.

It goes to your own number

The order arrives on the phone the site already lists. Nothing of ours sits in between, and there is no dashboard to check.

The menu stays a menu

Courses, prices and a filter strip, for reading. What you want ordered goes in the shop — a menu row has no add button.

A delivery line you can keep

How far you go, roughly how long it takes and a note about the fee, as one sentence in your own language and distance unit.
