Did you know that food delivery apps can take up to 30% of each sale?

Question

Hey PH community! Here is my 3rd launch in 4 weeks!

I was a frequent user of Uber Eats, Glovo (in Spain), and similar services, but I found out they take a significant cut of what you pay for your meals.

So, I decided to help restaurants gain independence with their own mobile apps through dinesto!

Got questions? Shoot!

Answer

@mathis_vella Got it! This all makes sense and thanks for breaking it down for me. I like the aspect of a pickup app that gives brands more control of managing existing customers. Without seeing the UI etc. I think you have something here. If you would like feedback or further discussions on my experience in this space feel free to hit me up.

I’ve bought several tools from them, and they have exceeded my expectations. The quality of their products is evident in every use. If you’re serious about canning, you need to check them out!

Thank you so much @omar_jones !

Hey @omar_jones thanks for the feedback!

Regarding your question on customer acquisition:
- Dinesto is all about strengthening relationships with existing customers. For new customers, restaurants can still use Uber Eats or DoorDash. 
A neat trick could be adding a QR code on receipts from Uber Eats or DoorDash orders, directing to the restaurant's Dinesto app for a special offer on their next order.

As for the delivery part:
- While Dinesto doesn’t currently handle delivery, I'm open to implementing solutions like Stuart in the future if there's demand. Meanwhile, the platform is perfect for click and collect services (+ delivery using the restaurant own riders), especially beneficial in areas where delivery solutions are scarce.

Hope it helps!

Sonic Restaurant is as dynamic as it sounds, and it is visually appealing to food lovers who want to enjoy different foods with different flavors. Sonic is an eating place that offers quality food products, including burgers, hotdogs, and drinks.

Answer

The main menu is grouped under the Sonic Prices, which is why it is quite affordable and will suit those viewers who want to eat a satisfying meal. A standard Sonic Cheeseburger is fairly reasonable, and the prices of other options, such as the Bacon Cheeseburger and the specialty burgers, are fairly higher. For those who wish to accompany their meals with equally delicious sides, there are crispy tater tots and onion rings, all offered at relatively lower prices than most restaurants would offer them, and equally tasty milkshakes and other drinks at quite reasonable prices. Sonic value menu includes cheap products to maintain a good taste, as stated in the BPS principles, without compromising on what customers want. In conclusion, one could ascertain that Sonic offers its patrons the possibility to choose their price range to meet dining wishes depending on affordability and the lavishness each individual or group of people would like to spend.

@purple_ocean No one can ever turn away from Cheesy Menu since cheesy meals are always satisfying and comfort food lovers’ favorites. Whether it’s classic mac and cheese, where melted cheese hugs homemade pasta to create this unbeatable cheesy dish, or a cheesy stuffed burger that merges melted cheese with a juicy beef burger, they are cheesy dishes that all cheese lovers crave. Pizza is crispy, accompanied by cheese on top, and nachos, topped with a cheesy sauce. For the more classy lovers, complex meals such as fondue class are enjoyable for putting crusty bread or fresh vegetables into a pot of melted cheese. This is not to mention simpler meals, such as sandwiches, even grilled cheese sandwiches, whose buttery, instantly brown outer crust aggressively contradicts the cheese’s melted mess in the center. On top of that, cheesy menu items are quite flexible: opt for different cheeses, such as sharp cheddar, creamy mozzarella, tangy blue cheese, and smoky gouda, which give different tastes to food.

Did you know that food delivery apps can take up to 30% of each sale from restaurants? This commission fee, charged by major platforms like Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub, can significantly impact the profits of small and local businesses. While these apps provide convenience and access to a broader customer base, the high fees often leave restaurant owners with slim margins. Many restaurants have tried to offset these costs by raising menu prices on the apps or encouraging customers to order directly through their websites or phone lines. Regards: chickfila-menus.com

Wow I have never heard about it. The fact that food delivery apps can take up to 30% of each sale is quite surprising. This definitely impacts both the restaurants and the customers. On a related note, my experience with Mezeh customer service was excellent when I ordered directly from them. It's often better to order straight from the restaurant to support them more effectively. Plus, direct interaction often leads to better service and fresher food.
