food pickup

Restaurant order collection

Food pickup is the act of collecting a prepared meal order from a restaurant rather than having it delivered or eating on-site.

The term gained prominence with the rise of takeout apps: I ordered online and chose food pickup to avoid the delivery fee.

A designated food pickup area or window is where customers retrieve their orders.
