Meanwhile I have seen a lot of local restaurants advertising how ordering through their own delivery/pickup service can be 30% less than Uber Eats or DoorDash on their takeout boxes (and consequently in your uber/doordash order). It’s interesting that some of the POS companies are getting into the market: https://www.toasttab.com/local https://www.toasttab.com/local
There’s huge room for disruption in this model when a $12 chipotle order costs the consumer $30 after higher menu prices + delivery fees + tip.
- Workaccount2 1y agoWhen I worked at a restaurant that did Ubereats/door dash/GrubHub, we had a 15% upcharge on order through those platforms. We would tell repeat customers they could use our website/app/phone to order directly and save the 15%. Almost no one converted. Convenience really is king.
- faizshah 1y agoSo what this POS company is doing that’s kind of interesting is they have a mobile app just like Uber Eats/Doordash but it seems to be direct through the restaurant: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/local-by-toast/id1362180579 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/local-by-toast/id1362180579 Actually when I ordered through it I paid $45 instead of $60 via DoorDash/Uber Eats but the order was delivered by Uber. The reason why I think this version will work is because it’s the same level of convenience in a centralized mobile app so single payment method, single portal to browse restaurants etc. (I have no association with this company I just was looking into this last week on the train)
- carlosjobim 1y agoWin-win then, since you made the upcharge.
