Before you start

Create a pickup shelf near the exit, separated from ordering and with a waiting pocket outside table aisles.

Room details and site checks
Layout
Create a pickup shelf near the exit, separated from ordering and with a waiting pocket outside table aisles.
Detail
Label shelf sections clearly and use a finish that cleans easily after repeated bag placement.
Trade-off
Pickup near the door speeds collection but may create a visible cluster.
  • Simulate several simultaneous pickups
  • Check shelf reach without entering staff space
