Benefits of becoming a partner of food ordering apps
If you are a restaurant owner, eatery, or café, the power of food ordering apps cannot be denied. Below are some benefits of having an online presence on these platforms:
Shift in ordering trends
In the past, restaurants could only hire delivery staff within a 5km radius to deliver food to customers. Therefore, customers had to order large quantities or high-value orders for the delivery person to make a single trip.
Over time, consumers have gradually shifted from offline shopping to online shopping. This is largely due to food ordering apps constantly launching promotional programs to attract customers, making ordering food easier, more appealing, and more cost-effective. Consequently, the concept of food delivery has become increasingly popular with consumers, forming habits that are sustained to this day.
Increasing order values
A common habit among customers today is ordering food along with drinks. This habit allows restaurant owners and café owners to increase the variety of food and drinks. Additionally, combining items into attractive combos at a better price than buying them separately also encourages customers to make larger purchases at your establishment.
Group ordering discounts
The main reason group ordering has become popular is not only the enjoyment of dining together but also the reduced delivery fees when ordering collectively. For example, if the delivery fee is 33,000 VND but there are only 3 people ordering, each person will have to pay 11,000 VND.
However, if more friends or colleagues are invited, consumers can save costs based on the total number of people ordering. This is also why a single order typically contains various food items.
Moreover, food ordering apps often offer large discounts for high-value orders. The more customers order, the more benefits they receive. Opening a store on these platforms can help boost revenue based on the volume of orders for food and drinks.
Fast delivery even for single items
When ordering through food ordering apps, consumers can choose to order only one item. At this point, delivery personnel will come to the restaurant to pick up the order and deliver it to the customer. This is a convenient solution for many busy users who do not have time to visit the restaurant. Restaurant owners can also reach a large number of customers by selling on food ordering apps instead of missing out on offline sales opportunities due to lack of time to visit.
