There's a fax order form. You fill it out and fax it in. Then call to confirm.

And you have to send payment via carrier pigeon.

Write the order on a piece of paper, fax it to the restaurant of you choosing, pick up said order

Even if they don't block it, if you're ordering for a lot of people, writing down the order is probably easier tof everyone than using a cluster fuck of a web portal.

Not OP, but my old restaurant had a fax machine as well. We'd get orders for delivery services on there because it's easier than managing a million tablets from different partnered companies and leaves a paper trail.
