How to get more orders
The FIFA World Cup 2026 is a big event.
Many people watch games at home – with friends, family, and lots of food.
For your takeaway business, this means:
👉 More orders, more revenue, but also more stress if you are not prepared.
In this article, we show you how to prepare your takeaway business for the World Cup 2026.
Why is the World Cup 2026 so important for takeaway businesses?
Most people do not watch football alone.
They order:
Pizza
Burgers
Döner kebabs
Snacks
Drinks
Especially in the evening and on weekends, orders increase a lot.
If you are well prepared, you can:
1. Preparation is key: Plan early
During the World Cup, many orders come at the same time.
Without planning, it gets chaotic.
You should clarify early:
- How many drivers do you need?
- Who works on match days?
- Which times are busiest?
- Do you have enough ingredients in stock?
👉 Tip: Plan more staff for important match days.
2. Adjust your menu for the World Cup
During the World Cup, customers want simple and fast food.
Good ideas for your World Cup menu:
- Combo meals (e.g. pizza + drink)
- Family or party boxes
- Shareable snacks
- Fewer dishes, but faster preparation
Not good:
- Very large menus
- Complex dishes with long preparation times
👉 Less choice = faster delivery.
3. Use World Cup offers and promotions
Promotions can help you get more orders.
Popular ideas:
- “Kick-off deal” (discount before the match starts)
- Free items above a certain order value
- Meal deals for 2, 4, or 6 people
- Discount codes for regular customers
Important:
✅ Keep it simple
✅ Clearly communicate times
4. Online ordering must work perfectly
During the World Cup, many customers order online at the same time.
If your system is slow or complicated, customers will leave.
Make sure:
- Your online shop is fast
- Your website works well on mobile
- All prices and times are correct
- Delivery times are clear
👉 A stable ordering system with OrderYOYO saves stress and increases revenue.
5. Prepare drivers and delivery vehicles
During the World Cup, there is often:
- Traffic
- Many orders at the same time
- Time pressure
This helps:
- Check vehicles in advance
- Keep delivery bags clean and warm
- Define clear delivery areas
- Communicate well with drivers
👉 Fast delivery = good reviews.
6. Communicate with customers: Be clear
When it is busy, delivery times can be longer.
That is okay – if customers know it.
Inform your customers about:
- Longer delivery times on match days
- Special World Cup opening hours
- Special offers
You can do this via:
- Your website
- Social media
- Messages in the ordering process
7. After the match comes the review
Many customers leave reviews right after eating.
To get good reviews:
- Clean packaging
- Hot food
- Friendly drivers
- Honest delivery times
👉 Good reviews bring new customers even after the World Cup.
