Never stuck for what to post: ready-made Facebook posts from your takeaway menu, with the orders each one brings
Tuesday, 4pm. You know you should post something on Facebook. Then you're staring at an empty box, the first orders come in, and the page stays quiet for another week.
Knowing what to post on Facebook for your takeaway is the hard bit. GofoodPOS writes the post for you, from your own menu, and shows you the orders each one brought in.
Posts written from your own menu
Open Marketing, then Social posts. Each card is a ready-made Facebook or Google post from your dishes, deals and hours, in English or Chinese.
- Your dishes
- Your deals
- Your hours
- English or 中文
Your best dish, with its photo, already written up
The cards come from what's on your till. A dish with its photo. This week's deal. Opening hours, or a note when you're closed. An "order direct" post pointing at your own ordering page. You pick one and change a word if you like.
Share it in a tap, in English or Chinese
Press Share and the text is copied for you. Paste it into Facebook and post. For your Google profile, save the picture first. You still press post yourself. We don't post for you yet; that part is coming.
- No idea what to write
- Hunting for a decent photo
- Page goes quiet for weeks
- Ready-made post from your menu
- Dish photo already there
- Share, paste, post
See which post brought the orders
Every post gets its own link. The card shows the visits, orders and sales it brought in the last 30 days, so you know whether the chips-and-curry deal beat the photo of the crispy beef. It's part of GofoodPOS marketing.
Say one post a week brings in 4 orders at £25. That's £100 a week, or £5,200 a year, as an example.

Post once on Facebook, again on Google
The same cards work for your Google Business Profile, which helps when people search nearby. We wrote about that in getting found on Google. Running a Chinese takeaway? The posts come in Chinese too.

Their usual, on the till before they've said hello: caller ID for your takeaway and more phone orders answered on a Friday
Caller ID puts a regular's name and saved addresses on the till as the phone rings, so calls are shorter and fewer ring out in the rush. Worked sums inside.
