A good share of our orders are placed by somebody living in Malé or abroad, for a parent or a family still on the island.
It works because we know the island. Put the house name and a phone number on the order and we will ring the person, tell them it is ready, and either hold it at the counter or send it on the next round.
Pay by transfer like everybody else. The only thing that catches people out is time: an order placed on the evening before a boat is made up the next morning, and one placed the day after a boat may be waiting three days for a fresh item.
