phone order

Verbal catalog transaction

A phone order is a purchase made by calling a business rather than ordering online or in person.

The term appears in retail and restaurant contexts: We take phone orders until 9 p.m.

Place a phone order for pickup.

As ordering has shifted online, phone orders have become less common but remain standard for local businesses and older customers.
