Delivery Ordering for Thai restaurants: Packaging, Modifiers, and Margin (2026)
Thai delivery needs 0–5 heat scale, protein swaps, and rice vs noodle base. TablioQR handles modifiers from POS and quotes courier fees before payment.
Why is Thai delivery harder than dine-in?
Thai restaurants guests expect spice-level selection on every curry and noodle dish. Delivery adds travel time for pad thai and green curry — 0–5 heat scale, protein swaps, and rice vs noodle base must render correctly in the cart before dispatch.
How should Thai restaurants configure delivery fees?
Set a minimum order that covers packaging and courier. Use flat in-house fees for short radius or DaaS for longer runs. TablioQR shows the fee before Stripe checkout — no post-total sticker shock.
POS sync for Thai modifiers
Pull live items and modifiers from Square, Toast, Lightspeed, Clover, or Foodics. When the kitchen 86's a protein or side, it disappears from delivery menu immediately — unlike static marketplace PDFs.
