Stop Paying 30% to Delivery Apps
Direct Answer: Third-party delivery apps charge massive commission fees (often up to 30%) that destroy restaurant profit margins. Building your own digital ordering infrastructure—like a custom website and mobile app—allows you to keep 100% of the revenue while building direct customer loyalty.
The Profit Margin Killer
If your average ticket is $30, giving up $9 to a delivery platform leaves you with almost zero profit after food and labor costs. While these apps are good for initial discovery, relying on them for repeat customers is financial suicide.The Transition Strategy
You don’t have to quit delivery apps cold turkey. 1. Put a flyer in every third-party delivery bag offering 10% off their next order if they use *your* custom app. 2. Offer exclusive menu items only available on your native platform. 3. Use the savings from the 30% fee to fund your own local delivery drivers.Ready to build your digital storefront?
