Good question.
Every takeaway I use I ring up an hour or less before I want to eat. And get delivery done by them or go and collect it at a particular time.
eg I'm hungry at 9pm, cannot go out and decide to ring up for a chicken & chips takeaway - odds are I'm eating it by 9.45pm. Could be much sooner.

I wouldn't bother being a customer of a place wanting the takeaway order a day in advance. Sorry, doesn't fit in with my desires, my hunger, the choices I accept. Sometimes I'm not hungry for a takeaway, sometimes I get called out of an evening at short notice - so any order a day in advance would be cancelled.

Perhaps instead of trying to convince customers to do what you want, you cater for what the customers want?
It appears to be what some takeaways do.

You need to ask yourself what are the benefits to the end user.

You should check out these guys - they are making a ton of cash, albeit not from takeaways, but the food is pre-prepared in a central kitchen, and not really considered fresh but they've found their own audience.

It could be because most of it is frozen, people are up for it - where as you're suggesting a takeaway, ordered the day before.

My personal chef makes 2-3 days worth of meals in advance sometimes so its no big deal for someone like me but you just have to ask, how many people will know what they want to eat the day before.

TBH it looks very much like a solution looking for a problem

I can’t think of a single time when I or any of my friends wouls order a take away in advance.

Takeaways are an impulse purchase 9 times out of 10. I think it's almost compulsory in the UK to ask 'Fancy a Chinese?' and to be met with 'ah go on then!'

Your biggest problem with this business model is that people enjoy ordering takeaways the same day. If you've got a big gathering of family and friends, you can find out what everyone wants to eat right there and then without wasting any time in the kitchen making something people won't want.

When a couple has just moved into their first flat together and realized they forgot to buy knives and forks, they get an emergency pizza delivered. When someone's had a few drinks and they don't feel up to cooking, they can get an opportunistic kebab.

If you're planning your meals a day in advance, you're either booking a restaurant seat or you're planning to cook something yourself.

OP, is there any reason for providing a meal the day after ordering?
Freshly smoked beef? Turkey cooked with bones?

To make food service delivery better then look at different ways of presenting the food, of delivering, of catering.

I'd hope any takeaway would try and avoid making wrong order or delivering late.

Continuing with Mr D's thoughts, You could promote it as a pre-prepped meal rather than a takeaway - all of a sudden you may find that you're targeting a different kind of niche
