Offer Takeout & Delivery? Why Your Website is Your Best Driver.

A customer craves your food. They open a delivery app, see your listing, and place an order. You celebrate the sale, but a huge chunk of the profit is gone before the food even leaves your kitchen. Those third-party app fees are a constant drain. But what if you could channel those same orders directly through your own website, keeping 100% of the revenue?

Your website is the most powerful tool you have to reclaim those lost profits from takeout and delivery. While apps offer visibility, they come at a steep cost. Building a seamless direct ordering system on your site turns it into a profit center, not just a digital brochure. It’s about making it easier and more appealing for customers to order from you directly.

The High Cost of Third-Party Reliance

Relying on apps means you’re always sharing a significant portion of your sales.

Slash Commission Fees: This is the most immediate benefit. The money saved on a single app order could cover the cost of your website. The rest is pure profit.

Own the Customer Experience: From the images of your food to the checkout process, you control it all. This ensures your brand quality is consistent from start to finish.

Build Your Customer List: Every direct order gives you valuable customer data—like their name, order history, and email address—which you can use for future marketing. Apps keep this data for themselves.

How to Make Direct Ordering Irresistible

To compete with the convenience of apps, your system needs to be flawless.

Mobile-First is Essential: Most orders come from phones. Your ordering page must be incredibly simple, with large buttons, a clear menu, and a quick checkout. Every extra click loses customers.

Promote It Everywhere: Use table tents, social media, and your packaging to tell customers, “Order directly from our website and save!” Many prefer to support restaurants directly if it’s easy.

Offer a Small Incentive: A 5% discount for first-time direct orders can be the nudge someone needs to break their app habit. The small discount costs you far less than an app commission.

Turn Your Website into Your Top Performer

Your website should work as hard as your kitchen. By integrating a direct online ordering system, you protect your margins and build a stronger, more sustainable business.

Snow crunched beneath their boots as the separated from the rest of the Commandos. The group was fanning out through the now bombed out an vacated village, searching for whatever supplies they could find as well as any clue where the next HYDRA cell might be located.

Rogers waited until Bucky had slipped into the now empty building, which looked like it used to be a civilian home. Empty now of course; the residents left in a hurry. Steve made sure the door closed behind them before he stepped up behind his Sargent. "What the hell was that?" he growled, gripping Bucky's elbow and turning the dark haired man back towards him.

Steve's face was a mask of worry and anger and something else. Something that only appeared in his eyes right after or during a fight or in the heat of a frantic bout of love making, when all sense had gone out the window and things between them were primal and pure. It was a strange sort of manic light that was not unflattering. "You cut it too close today. You're supposed to be a sniper, you're supposed to stay BACK, let me go ahead. I'm the shield, remember?!"

Before Bucky could push him off, Steve pushed him roughly into the wall, pinning him there effectively. They were both worn and tired from days of hiking in the snow and bitter cold, this being their third skirmish in a week. Nerves were frayed. Rogers stared his love in the eyes, worry and frustration giving way to need. He had been scared. And that fear of losing what was most dear to him in the world had sparked a hunger in Steve that had already been gnawing at him for days, a fire in his belly he couldn't put out.
