Its origin lies in the frustration of foodies with phone ordering. Not so long ago,a device known as a ‘phone’ was used to place your orders at a nearby restaurant to get your food home delivered. Here’s how the entire process worked in what was called the ‘Hunt, Dial and Wait’ model of ordering food."
Step 1: Search for the restaurant you wish to order from (both online and offline, rummaging through paper flyers and all).
Step 2: Once you find it, look for the correct contact number that would connect you to the restaurant directly.
Step 3: Dial the restaurant number to check:
i. Whether they actually carry out home delivery;
ii. Whether they will deliver at your address;
iii. Whether the food you want to order is available or not.
Step 4: If any of the above answers are ‘no’, revert to Step 1 and think up of another restaurant. In the (unlikely) case of all the above answers being a ‘yes’, proceed with trying to make the restaurant guy at the other end understand what you want to order, one dish at a time.
Step 5: “Chicken Methi Malai. METHI. M for Mumbai, E for Elephant...” (Pause while the guy notes it down). “Phone number is...” (Writing). “By the name of...” (Again writing). “Address...” (Still writing).
Step 6: You wipe the beads of sweat from your forehead. Phew! Enter: The new ‘Order Food Online’ model or the ‘One Click to Order’ model.
