It is no longer a surprise that on-demand food delivery services have never been more popular. They are beneficial to all parties involved. Customers receive the delivery of their food at their doorstep, while restaurants sell more to multiply their profits.
At Workin Geeks, we believe that the
development of a food delivery app is the best approach for restaurants. This is because of the following:
- Third-party commission: Restaurants receive a commission fee of around 15-30% on deliveries from most of the third-party delivery services. This commission fee will take a large percentage of restaurants' budget, most especially if they plan to liaise with multiple third-party delivery providers.
- The risk of losing customers: Third-party businesses are often bombarded with orders that result in delivery delays. Therefore, customers may be dissatisfied and discouraged from ordering. However, when delivery operations are entrusted to an internal team, restaurants will have better control over the quality of customer service and food delivery.
These and other drawbacks are leading restaurateurs to start their food delivery app. In doing so, they can:
- improve delivery speed,
- ensure customer loyalty,
- keep up with competitors, and
- keep customers satisfied.
A restaurant can create its food delivery app. This type of application usually includes pickup and delivery options; these options can be developed by Workin Geeks.
However, there are three main reasons restaurants decide to build a delivery app from scratch:
- High demand.
According to GloriaFood, it said at least once a month, 86% of consumers in the United States make use of food delivery services.
- Large customer base.
Restaurants or cafes that have a mobile order food delivery app know that their prospective customer is anyone with a mobile device that craves wings, pizza, burgers, etc.
- More revenue.
Nation's Restaurant News claims that orders placed via mobile apps cost $4 more than orders placed in restaurants.
- Commission savings.
When restaurants create their mobile food delivery app, they can save on third-party commission fees.
