In the rapidly growing restaurant industry of Bangladesh, online food delivery has become a crucial component of business operations. Platforms like Foodpanda, Foodie, and Pathao Food have made it easy to reach customers. Still, they also charge hefty commission fees, which can limit your restaurant's profitability. What if you could handle online orders directly without the middleman?
The good news is that you can. With the right online ordering system, you can accept orders directly from your customers, save on fees, and maintain complete control over your operations.
What Is an Online Ordering System?
An online ordering system allows customers to place orders directly through your restaurant's website, mobile app, or through an Ordering link. Instead of relying on third-party apps, you manage the orders, payments, and deliveries, all while keeping the profits.
Why Accept Orders Directly Through Your Own System?
1. Save on Commission Fees
Food delivery platforms charge commission fees ranging from 20% to 30% per order. By accepting orders directly, you retain all the revenue, resulting in increased profit for your business.
2. Full Control Over Customer Experience
You can customize the online ordering experience to match your brand. From the menu layout to promotions, you have complete control over the customer journey.
3. Increase Customer Loyalty
When customers order directly from your website, you can collect their information and create a customer database. This allows you to send them personalized offers, discounts, and loyalty rewards, building stronger relationships with them.
4. No Dependence on Third-Party Platforms
Relying on third-party delivery platforms means you're subject to their terms and conditions. With your own system, you're not dependent on the rules, pricing, or availability of external apps.
