This can be done either by visiting the website of the outlet and placing an order using a mobile app of that outlet or a food delivery app. Online takeaway food refers to food that is ordered and made in a restaurant and then taken to be eaten at home or elsewhere.

takeout is intended to be eaten off the premises while takeaway is to be eaten
off the premises. Online

ordered using the Internet. While, online food delivery means the user will ask
someone to deliver the food/item they ordered using the Internet. An online
food ordering or online takeaway food system can be defined as software that
allows the users to place orders and restaurant to accept and manage orders
placed over the internet.
