Are there any curbside pickup software options that focus on pickup and curbside orders for restaurant chains?

Yes — there are several curbside/pickup-focused software options that are commonly used by restaurant chains, especially for managing drive-up, curbside, and off-premise orders.

Here are some categories and examples:

Pickup / curbside order management platforms

These are built specifically to coordinate guest arrival, parking spots, staff handoff, and order readiness.

• Qless – Queue and appointment-style arrival management; used in some retail and restaurant pickup flows.
• Waitwhile – Strong for waitlists, curbside pickup, and guest check-in/notifications.
• Arryved? Not specifically curbside-focused; more POS/ops. Mentioning only because some restaurants adapt POS add-ons for pickup workflows.
• SpotOn Order & Wait – Offers pickup and guest notification tools as part of a broader restaurant platform.
• Fraxion / curbside-specific add-ons – Some smaller vendors offer curbside workflows, but availability varies by market.

Restaurant order-ahead / pickup platforms

These support pickup heavily, often alongside delivery, loyalty, and online ordering.

• Olo – Very common in restaurant chains; supports pickup, curbside, delivery, and in-store ordering workflows.
• Crunchtime / Maitre’D / etc. – More operations-oriented, sometimes integrated with pickup systems rather than directly focused on curbside.
• ChowNow – Online ordering with pickup; less curbside-specialized but useful for chains.
• Toast – Pickup ordering, guest texting, and operational support; widely used in multi-location restaurants.
• Lunchbox – Strong in enterprise restaurant ordering, pickup, loyalty, and branded mobile/web ordering.
• Keenon / other kiosk ecosystems – Usually not curbside-first, but can integrate into pickup operations.

Enterprise chain solutions with curbside support

If you mean multi-unit restaurant brands, these are often the most relevant:

• Olo
• Lunchbox
• Toast Enterprise
• NCR Aloha / NCR Voyix solutions
• Qu
• PAR Brink / Brink POS ecosystem
• Square for Restaurants (more SMB/mid-market than enterprise, but pickup capable)

What to look for in a curbside-first solution

For restaurant chains, the key features usually are:

• arrival notifications / geofencing
• parking spot assignment or stall check-in
• order status sync with POS/KDS
• texting or push notifications
• multi-location controls
• branded mobile/web ordering
• analytics on pickup wait times and labor
• loyalty/customer profile integration
• drive-thru + curbside support in one system
