Your food.
Your next chapter.
HappyFork is being built to help independent takeaways accept online orders through their own websites, and manage what happens when an order reaches the kitchen.
Own website.
Real orders.
The first focus is an ordering plugin for WordPress takeaway websites. The aim is to connect the menu, checkout and order management without sending customers through a disconnected process.
A plan for
the busy bits.
The development work includes pre-orders, card payment authorisation and capture on acceptance, and printing order receipts for the kitchen. These workflows will be tested together during the pilot.
Built around
the takeaway.
Menus, collection times and the way staff handle orders all matter. The pilot is a chance to test the software against the practical needs of a working takeaway.
What’s HappyFork, and who’s TOM?
HappyFork is the public-facing name for the project. TOM stands for Takeaway Order Manager: the software behind it, including the ordering plugin, central services and management tools.
The immediate goal is to get the complete ordering process working reliably for a first takeaway. A broader customer ordering platform is a longer-term ambition, rather than a service available today.
What will it cost?
Pricing and transaction fees are not being advertised yet. Those details need to be clear before a takeaway commits, including any subscription, payment processing and customer service fees. There is no public registration or payment form on this site at this stage.
Planning your own online ordering?
Start with your menu and kitchen workflow before choosing software. Our practical checklist covers opening hours, payment handling, allergens, collection times and what to do if an order cannot be fulfilled.

Can customers order food on HappyFork today?
No. This site introduces a project in development. Live ordering will be announced when participating takeaways are ready.
Does HappyFork provide delivery drivers?
A delivery-driver service is not part of the offering described here. Order management and fulfilment arrangements will be explained for each participating takeaway.
Is there an app to download?
There is no public HappyFork app from this project available to download. For updates about this project, use happyfork.co.uk.
