A Saturday round can run anywhere from four hours to five and a half. A pickup time set at the first tee is a guess, and the food pays for it: made too early it sits under a heat lamp, made too late the group waits or drives on. Foreturn IQ tightens the prep window as the golfer gets closer, so food comes off the grill when they pull up.
Run a Pilot at Your Turn| A fixed pickup time | Pre-order with Foreturn IQ | |
|---|---|---|
| How timing is set | Once, when the order is placed. | Estimated when the order is placed, then tightened as the golfer gets closer. |
| A slow group | Food is ready early and sits. | Prep waits until they're actually close. |
| A fast group | They arrive before the food is ready. | Their window tightens sooner, so prep starts sooner. |
| What the golfer gets | Whatever has been sitting, or a wait. | Food made for the moment they arrive. |

Timing that follows the round as it's actually played.
Fast groups and slow groups get different timing on their own. When golfers share location, the prep window follows their progress around the course.
Fries and burgers are good for a few minutes. Starting prep as the group gets close keeps food from going limp while it waits.
Hot food is what golfers remember about the turn. Getting the timing right is most of getting the food right.
The queue is bucketed Prepare Now, Coming Up and Later Today, and tickets move up as golfers approach, so the line always knows what to start.
No hardware and nothing new for golfers to learn.
They scan the QR code, pick food and drinks, choose At the Turn and pay by card. No app, no account.
With permission, the ticket's timing follows them around the course. Without it, the order runs on the estimated time.
When the ticket reaches Prepare Now, the kitchen starts. The golfer picks up with a 4-character code.
The order still works. Without location, the ticket runs on the estimated arrival time for the golfer's pickup window, like any scheduled order. Sharing location just makes the timing tighter as they get closer.
Yes. Anything on your menu can be pre-ordered. Timing matters most for hot food, but every order goes through the same queue.
No. Golfers scan the QR code on the cart and order in their phone's browser. There's no app and no account to create.
Nothing. Golfers pay a service fee of 5% of their order plus $0.50 at checkout, and your course keeps 100% of its menu prices, plus tax and tips, paid to your own Stripe account.
We set up a pilot around a few tee times so you can see the timing on your own grill before committing to anything.
