Sometimes calling is actually the most convenient. There's nothing wrong with picking up the phone and placing a 30 second phone call.
You'll also synchronously resolve any issues, like if they're out of a certain item.
- duxup 7y agoWith COVID if you call any places near me anytime near prime eating times ... they can't keep up with the phone calls. Most every place seems to have optimized for internet orders, not phone.

- dannyw 7y agoI have received “thanks for ordering directly” and “appreciate you skipping the tech leeches” when placing orders directly. So I think I’m going to go with what my local restaurants prefer.
- ryanianian 7y agoIt really pays to become a regular. Call and say "this is X give me the usual." Regulars are always treated nicer in terms of priority and portions. And since you're a regular you know what it'll cost and you can round up to the nearest $Y bill when paying.
