According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/outlook\/374\/109\/online-food-delivery\/united-states\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Statista<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, online ordering has reached <\/span><b>$26 billion in revenue<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well as a predicted <\/span><b>5.1% growth rate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this year alone. Though it may seem like restaurants are dominating the online market it\u2019s another industry that is collecting the majority of the profits. With <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fsrmagazine.com\/chain-restaurants\/battle-brand-value-why-restaurants-are-rejecting-third-party-delivery\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">third-party delivery services <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">such as Grubhub, Doordash, and Waitr, they have successfully connected restaurants to the online marketplace with their online ordering platform, however, it has started to become the downfall for restaurants and their total revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1380\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Solo-Artist-Music-Facebook-Cover-min.png\" alt=\"hybrid point of sale system\" width=\"828\" height=\"315\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, some third-party vendors charge users between a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.business.com\/articles\/is-grubhub-good-for-restaurants\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15%-25% commission fee<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for online orders that have been processed through their program. Little do restaurateurs know that even after that percentage is taken out of their funds the total fees they\u2019re paying for are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Process\/fraud protection fee (4%)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing fee (15%-20%)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The optional delivery fee (10%)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though third-party vendors allow restaurant owners control as to which package they\u2019d like to pay for, the <\/span><b>fees are starting to add up<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and restaurateurs are realizing that these services are starting to cost them big time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1374\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Third-Party-Break-Down-5-min.png\" alt=\"hybrid pos cloud\" width=\"1545\" height=\"2000\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to this, big third-party platforms have invested that money into marketing in order to dominate the online delivery industry. This on top of the costly reputation that these companies have has made restaurants hesitant to implement online ordering due to the financial risk of incorporating the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Avoid having to do damage control by having complete authority over your online ordering system<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though these third party names have the marketing reach, that doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t go without any complications. Problems can arise such as orders being inconsistent or missed due to staff having to manually put in orders that were placed through a third-party platform. Instead of having to do damage control, bypass the features that could slow down your business by having a point of sale that offers:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orders that go directly into your POS<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A customized online ordering page<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confirmation emails sent straight to you and your customers as soon as their order is placed<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dashboard report for all of your online orders<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, having a POS that gives restaurateurs all of these features can bring significant benefits. Not only can these features empower restaurants to create effective plans from their reports but they also can reduce the number of errors in their kitchen with real-time notifications. Doing so will not only give restaurateurs like you full control over your restaurant but can be the tool to make your business flourish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any questions about our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/home.ordercounter.com\/index.php\/services\/#online-ordering\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online ordering system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or to set up a demonstration please contact <\/span><a href=\"mailto:info@ordercounter.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">info@ordercounter.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Get all of the Benefits of Online Ordering Without the Cost of Grubhub, Waitr, or Doordash This year alone online ordering has skyrocketed in demand due to its accessibility and functionality for users from all over.
