What I don't get is... why do businesses use it?
My local podunk pizza joint uses this insanely basic, yet fully sufficient service called "weborder.net". Feels like it's straight out of the movie The Net.
There are NO added fees. It accepts every card type. It emails you confirmations and notifications. Everything i'd want from a "modern" delivery experience.
It seems like there are no shortage of alternatives to DD.
- xtiansimon 3y agoFrom my experience with food service biz, there are two types of these services: one puts your menu on the web and charges 150-500/mo (ie ChowNow, Bento), and you also need a merchant processor (ie Stripe). The other type (Grubhub, DoorDash, UberEats) do not charge you a monthly subscription/hosting fee, and instead just take up to 20% of your revenue. Most restaurants want to have both. The first is a destination for people who are looking for you. The second is the third-party marketing your food. Business hope the latter does not cannibalize sales from the former.

- xboxnolifes 3y agoI'm not in the food business. My guess is discovery. GrubHub/DoorDash/UberEats are not just apps that process your payments and deliver food. They also serve as an avenue for people to decide where to order from. Most of the time when I want to order food, I look at my ordering apps first. Like opening Netflix to decide what to watch. Weborder.net also isn't just some basic webpage that processes payment, It's part of an entire POS system. The kind you sign for multi-year contracts with.
