The problem
The delivery apps take a huge cut of your regulars' orders.
Uber Eats, DoorDash and SkipTheDishes typically charge restaurants 25–30% of every order. That's fine for a stranger who found you in the app. It's painful for the regulars who'd happily order from you directly.
On thin restaurant margins, that commission is often more than the profit on the order.
A typical $40 order
Just 10 orders a day like this sends about $3,600 a month to the app.
Card processing applies to any card payment and isn't shown here.

Best of both
You don't have to quit the apps
Most restaurants use both. The goal is simple: stop paying commission on customers who already love you.
- 01
Use the apps to get discovered
The apps are good at putting you in front of people who've never heard of you. Keep them for that.
- 02
Send regulars to your own page
Once someone's a regular, every order they place through an app costs you a commission you don't need to pay.
- 03
Make switching easy
Bag cards and QR codes in every app order invite customers to order direct next time.
