What is carryout?

Carryout is a type of food service where customers place an order for prepared food to be picked up and taken away from the establishment to be consumed elsewhere. This type of service is typically offered by restaurants, delis, and fast food outlets.

Customers can choose from a menu of items, place an order either in person, over the phone, or online, and then pick up their food at a designated time. The food is usually packaged in containers or bags that are easy to transport without spilling or spoiling.

Carryout is a convenient option for people who want to enjoy restaurant-quality meals at home or on the go without the hassle of cooking or dining in at a restaurant. It is also a popular choice for businesses and organizations hosting events or meetings, as it allows them to provide a variety of food options without the need for on-site catering.
