Guide to Ordering Takeout in the USA (2025)

Ordering takeout in the United States is convenient, diverse, and part of everyday life. Whether you’re visiting a burger joint, pizza shop, or Asian restaurant, here’s a detailed guide for first-time travelers to help you navigate the process smoothly.

1. Choosing a Restaurant

• America offers a huge variety of takeout options, from famous chains (like Shake Shack, Domino’s, Panda Express) to local favorites (like Pieous Pizza in Austin or Blossom Bar in Boston).
• Many restaurants offer both dine-in and takeout, and some are takeout-only.
• You can order in person, by phone, or through apps like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub.

2. How to Order Takeout

• In Person:
  Go to the counter and say, “Can I get this to go?” or “I’d like to order for takeout, please.” The staff might ask, “For here, or to go?” Just reply, “To go, please.”
• By Phone:
  Call the restaurant and say, “I’d like to place a takeout order.” Clearly state your order and any preferences or allergies.
• Online/App:
  Select “pickup” or “takeout” when ordering through the restaurant’s website or an app. Double-check the pickup time and location.

3. Customizing Your Order

• Menus are usually divided into appetizers, entrées (main dishes), sides, and desserts.
• You can customize:

• “Can I have the burger without onions?”
• “Could you add extra cheese?”
• “I have a peanut allergy.”
• “I’m vegetarian. Do you have vegetarian options?”

4. Payment

• Most places accept credit/debit cards, mobile payments, and sometimes cash.
• For online/app orders, pay in advance; for in-person, pay at the counter.
• Ask, “Can I get a receipt with my takeout order?”

5. Waiting and Pickup

• Staff will tell you how long it will take: “Your order will be ready in about 10 minutes.”
• Wait inside or nearby. When your name or order number is called, pick up your food.
• Check your order before leaving to make sure everything is correct.

6. Tipping Etiquette

• Tipping for takeout is increasingly common, especially for large or complex orders, or if staff provide extra service (like curbside delivery or special packaging).
• Standard tip: 10–15% for regular takeout, 15–20% for large or complicated orders, or if you receive exceptional service.
• For fast food or counter service, tipping is appreciated but not expected-rounding up or leaving $1–2 is common.

7. Allergies and Dietary Restrictions

• Clearly mention any allergies or dietary needs when ordering:
  • “I have a shellfish allergy.”
  • “Is this gluten-free?”
  • “Could you make it without nuts?”

8. Useful Phrases

9. Special Tips

• Many restaurants now use digital kiosks or apps for ordering-look for “Pickup” or “To Go” options.
• Some places offer curbside pickup: staff bring your food to your car.
• Always check your order before leaving, especially if you have special requests or allergies.
