This does open up an opportunity to offer an easy self-driven delivery services for restaurants. You probably can't take a % cut, but you can probably treat it like a SAAS and offer to own the delivery software and hardware so that restaurants can keep their own delivery staff, take orders online and handle issues.
That entire value proposition is predicated on offering the customers a good experience and offering the restaurant staff a good experience with no hassles.
But as you say, that's not what the VCs want - they want to lock the restaurants in and profit as a middleman.
- foepys 7y agoYes, that works of be something that could work. Like a Shopify just for restaurants. Pay $25/no, get a basic ordering interface for your customers and options to let customers pay via CC or to pay the driver. Maybe add bonus add-ons like a very basic CRM and marketing newsletters for a few bucks. Only that this is not sexy for VCs because that's something everybody could do. Although Shopify is also something everybody can do and already did very often.
