What the "experts" tell you

"It's just the cost of doing business."

No. It's the cost of not having a plan.

Most owners accept the fees because everyone says they're just part of the business now. The "experts" say it too. The "experts" get paid by the platforms.

"Customers only order delivery on the apps."

Your customers would rather order from you.

70 percent of consumers say they'd rather order directly from a restaurant so their money goes to the restaurant instead of a third party, and most of them say it's because they want to support the restaurant itself. They just need to know your site exists and costs less. That's our job.

"You have to be competitive on DoorDash."

No. You price for quality, not for DoorDash.

The big pizza chains spent twenty years training their customers to be coupon shoppers, and now they can't sell a pizza at full price to save their lives. If you're building a career, not a hobby, don't teach your guests that your food is only worth buying on sale.

Price for the restaurant you want to still own in ten years.

The problem

Right now the apps own your storefront. And your customers.

Every online order that comes through DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub hands 20 to 30 percent of the ticket to a company that has never set foot in your kitchen. You do the cooking. They keep the customer.

You don't get the guest's contact information. No name, no email, no phone number. You can't invite them back, tell them about Tuesday's special, or thank them for their tenth order. You get a ticket, a bag, and a smaller check than the one you earned.

Most owners accept this because everyone says it's just the cost of doing business now. It isn't. It's the cost of not having a plan.

The plan

Three big money moves.

Move 1

Own your storefront.

We build you a fast, search-optimized website with online ordering that feels as smooth as the big apps. Direct orders, direct delivery, direct catering. Guests order from you, not through someone else.

Move 2

Turn the apps into your billboard.

Your marketplace menus are priced 15 percent higher than your own site. The apps still bring you new customers, but now they pay their own commission. Your website becomes the cheapest place in town to buy your food, and we make sure every guest knows it.

Move 3

Keep the guest.

Every direct order captures a name, an email and a phone number. Email and text marketing bring them back on your terms. Your regulars become an asset you own, not a line item you rent.

What winning looks like

You cook. The system does the rest.

What you get

One partner. One invoice. Nothing for you to figure out.

Both plans are all-in. Hosting, software and management are included. You will never get a second invoice from us.

Your guests pay a 5 percent service fee on direct orders, added to their total, not taken from your revenue. That's still far less than they'd pay on the apps, and it's how we keep your monthly cost flat.

Questions

Things owners ask me.

Is this a good fit if we just opened?

It's the best time. You haven't trained your customers to think of DoorDash as your storefront yet. And if you've been open for years, we start unwinding that habit on day one.

Does it work with my POS?

Direct orders integrate with most major POS systems, and all your app orders land on a single tablet so your kitchen only watches one screen.

Won't marking up the apps hurt my sales there?

In practice, no. Guests on the apps are comparing you to other restaurants on the app, not to your own website, and every other restaurant is absorbing the same costs. The markup covers the commission, and we point your regulars to the cheaper option: you.

Do I have to do anything?

Send me your menu. I handle the build, the pricing, the marketing setup and the ongoing management.

Is there a contract?

No. It's month to month and you can cancel anytime. I'd rather keep you because the system is making you money than because a contract says you have to stay.

When do I start paying?

No signup fee and no setup fee. Your first payment is due 30 days after you sign up, and not until you're live. You pay nothing until it's working.

Why only one restaurant a month?

Because I run this personally. I'd rather do it right for twelve restaurants a year than badly for fifty.
