You don't need to "maintain a website". You can do all of this trivially from within Facebook if you don't want to "maintain a website". In the country I live in, only the hugest businesses have a website. 99% of businesses run off of Facebook (you generally order by just sending them a FB message saying "send me 12 of X" and then you pay Cash On Delivery).

Here's how you add a Menu to your restaurant's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/help/533179700126832

Facebook is worse than delivery companies. No way I'm doing that.

"Cash on delivery" would not allow the OPs requirement of contactless delivery.

You could theoretically place said cash in an envelope in the trunk for the exchange

This is sounding a lot more difficult than ordering from an app.

Or if the USA had contactless cards it would not be problem

I don't usually have cash on me other than a tiny amount for emergencies, and looking at my Facebook page I see a smaller and smaller portion of my connections are online regularly.

To me a business that is only on Facebook doesn't exist as far as I am concerned.

You did not pre lock down get some extra emergency cash out just in case.

No, I didn't. I had no reason to, and have used exactly 0 in cash during lockdown.

$60 in cash typically last me atleast a month. Making special trips to the bank to get out cash is the last thing I want to do during all of this.

So go to the bank the same number of times and adjust the amount of cash you'll need to withdraw over that period of time.

Facebook can be viewed through any browser and public pages like those of restaurants can be accessed without an account...
