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

Yes. There are several software options that are specifically built to help restaurant chains manage pickup, curbside, and often drive-thru/order-ahead flows.

Here are some common categories and examples:

1. Dedicated curbside / pickup management platforms

These focus on order arrival, parking spot assignment, guest notifications, and handoff coordination.

• Hangry
• Waitwhile
• QwickServe
• Arrive
• Fetch (in some markets/use cases)

2. Restaurant order orchestration platforms

These are broader systems, but they often have strong pickup/curbside modules for chains.

• Olo
• PAR Brink / PAR Engagement
• Qu (especially for enterprise ordering and pickup workflows)
• Toast (pickup + curbside features in its platform)
• Square for Restaurants (more SMB/mid-market, but supports pickup workflows)
• SevenRooms (more hospitality-heavy, but can support pickup/takeout workflows)

3. Enterprise digital ordering + guest experience platforms

These are often used by multi-unit chains that want branded ordering and better pickup operations.

• Presto
• Chowly
• Bbot (more for hospitality, but order-ahead and pickup in some cases)
• Tock (pickup/order-ahead depending on configuration)

4. POS/order management systems with curbside features

If you want something tied closely to the POS and kitchen workflow:

• NCR Aloha
• Oracle MICROS
• Toast
• SpotOn
• Clover

What to look for if curbside is the main goal

For restaurant chains, the best-fit products usually support:

• Guest arrival detection / check-in
• Curbside spot assignment
• SMS or app-based “I’m here” flows
• Order staging and handoff alerts
• Integration with POS and kitchen display systems
• Multi-location reporting
• Branded ordering and loyalty integration

If you want, I can also give you:

1. a shortlist by chain size (small chain, mid-market, enterprise), or
2. a comparison table of the top curbside-focused vendors.
