Delivery Radius

Set the geographic area you'll deliver to, so orders from outside your zone are blocked before they reach your kitchen.

One of our customers runs his catering kitchen 7 miles from Downtown LA. Before Easy Flow Catering, he'd modelled the cost of every delivery outside a 10 mile zone — extra fuel, extra driver time, and the flow-on cost of a driver stuck on the 110 while his kitchen backed up on the next order. But when he set up his delivery zone with us, he didn't centre it on his kitchen. He centred it on Downtown LA. Corporate lunch orders downtown were worth the drive; the neighbourhoods closer to his kitchen weren't. Easy Flow Catering lets you draw the zone wherever it actually makes commercial sense — not just as a circle around your address.

What your customer sees when their address falls outside your delivery zone.

How it works

Let's say you've set your delivery zone to a 10 mile radius from your kitchen. A customer 5 miles away starts an order, they enter their delivery address, the system checks it against your zone, and the order flows through normally.

A different customer 22 miles away tries the same thing. As soon as they enter their address, they see a banner: “Sorry — you're outside our delivery zone. We currently deliver within 10 miles of our kitchen.” Their order stops there. You never see it, your kitchen never plans for it, and the customer knows immediately instead of finding out after they've already placed an order.

Can I change my delivery zone for busy periods?

Yes — and this is worth planning for. In the fortnight before Christmas, you might tighten your zone to 5 miles so your drivers aren't stuck in traffic while the kitchen backs up. For a quiet January, you can push it out to 20 miles to capture more orders. Change the radius in Company Settings, save, and every new order from that moment on is checked against the new zone.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change my delivery zone for busy periods?

Yes. In the fortnight before Christmas you might tighten your zone to 5 miles so your drivers aren't stuck in traffic while the kitchen backs up. For a quiet January you can push it out to 20 miles to capture more orders. Change the radius in Company Settings, save, and every new order from that moment on is checked against the new zone.

Does the delivery zone have to be centred on my kitchen?

No. You can centre your zone wherever it makes commercial sense — one of our customers centres his zone on Downtown LA, not his kitchen, because the corporate lunch orders downtown are worth the drive while the neighbourhoods closer to his kitchen aren't.

What does the customer see if they're outside the zone?

As soon as they enter their delivery address, they see a banner explaining the zone and are stopped from placing the order. Their order never reaches your kitchen, and they know immediately instead of finding out after they've already paid.

Do I need to set up a mapping API?

No. Delivery zone control is built in. Enter your address, drag the radius, save. No developer, no third-party mapping account, no ongoing map API bill.
