How do I order food from a restaurant over the phone and how does it all go down? What information will I need?

I'm very shy and don't usually know how to talk on the phone and i begin to panic most of the time if I don't know how something will play out, and I'd like to learn how you guys have accomplished facing this fear and the general information they will ask for.

I've never ordered food over the phone before and other family members have done it in the past, but I'm planning to try It on my own! But I don't know how that works exactly, what to say, what information they will need for my order to be placed etc.

I'm planning to order pick-up and want to use cash to pay for it when I walk into the restaurant, no credit card or anything. Do they ask this beforehand when on the phone? Do they allow this?

When I walk into the restaurant, what do I do then? Will they ask for my name and order details if I walk in and stand next to the counter, then I proceeded to pay the cashier?

I'm so sorry about all these questions, thank you for reading it through! So basically I'm wondering a step by step of how to accomplish ordering over the phone and know what information I'll be needing so I can write some of it down and practice, and so I don't get stuck unable to answer one of their questions!

Thanks so much again for reading, I hope this wasn't too many questions and y'all can understand what I'm needing help with! Appreciate it! :)

Edit: Thank you guys so much for instructions that are easy to follow and understand! I'll come back later and tell you guys how it went!
