In short
What does a food delivery bot do?
A food delivery bot takes orders inside Telegram. It shows the menu of the day, lets a customer pick dishes, the number of portions and an address, shows the total and sends the order to the kitchen. The kitchen stops retyping orders from chats, and a regular customer orders again in a couple of taps.
01 · What it does
What’s inside
01
The menu of the day
You publish the menu once, and every customer sees what is on today and in the days ahead.
02
An order in a few taps
Dishes, portions, address and a comment, without a single message to the kitchen.
03
A clear confirmation
The customer sees the order and its total before sending it, then gets a confirmation.
04
Orders in your Telegram
Each order arrives in your chat with everything the kitchen needs, and you change the menu right in the bot.
05
Payment in the bot
The customer pays before the order reaches the kitchen.

05 · Questions
Before you ask
How long does a food delivery bot take?
From 3 days for a bot with the menu, orders and confirmations. A web dashboard for the kitchen takes longer; the written scope after the call gives the plan.
Do customers have to install anything?
No. The bot works in Telegram, which your customers already have: they open it from a link or a QR code on the box.
Can customers pay in the bot?
Yes, for $100 more: the customer pays before the order goes to the kitchen. Without it, the bot takes orders and you take payment on delivery.
How does the kitchen see the orders?
In the simplest version every order arrives in your Telegram chat. With the web dashboard, from $600, orders land on a board with columns from new to delivered, as in our lunch delivery case.
Can I change the menu myself?
Yes. In the simplest version you change it right in the bot; the web dashboard has a menu calendar.
What if I deliver on set days or only set lunches?
The bot follows your rules: days without delivery, a cutoff time for orders, set lunches or separate dishes. In the lunch case the menu for the day after tomorrow goes to clients every day at 12:00.
What do you need from me to start?
Your menu, your delivery area and how you take orders today. After a free call you get a written scope with a fixed price.
