Group orders, one collection for everybody

A crew, a shared link, and one takeaway order that somebody collects. Everybody adds their own items, the order goes in once, and the delivery cut nobody pays stays with the people who made the food.

  1. Open Group orders and start one
  2. Share the link, or invite your saved contacts
  3. Everybody adds their items before it closes
  4. The runner places the order and collects it

A group order is called a parea, which is the Cypriot word for the company you keep. Two shapes of it exist: a one-off table of people ordering together, and a standing crew that keeps coming back, like an office floor or a family.

One person is the runner. They place the consolidated order on the normal takeaway rails and collect it, and they pay the venue in store, so there is no payment processor anywhere in it.

Bites earned by the order are split across the crew rather than multiplied, and the group keeps a running tally of what it has kept out of the middleman's hands.

A one-off table disappears from everybody's list once the order is placed, so you never scroll through a graveyard of last week's lunches.

What it looks like An office floor of eight people, one order, one collection, and the twenty to thirty percent a delivery app would have taken kept between you and the kitchen.
Worth knowing A standing crew is worth saving, because the same link works every week and you never set it up twice.
