Hello, my name is Madalena Seabra. I'm a barista.
How does ordering ahead work?
Ordering ahead means placing and often paying for an order before you arrive, usually through a cafe's app or website. Some cafes also take orders by phone.
The order goes to the staff behind the counter, who usually make it along with orders placed in person. Some apps let you choose a pickup time, while others show an estimated ready time. Finished orders often wait on a pickup counter or shelf, labeled with a name.
Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your service. This is general information, not personal instructions. The staff at your cafe can tell you what applies to your own order.
Thanks for watching.
