In an industry where profit margins typically hover around 5-20%, and platform fees are on average 30%, many businesses owners within this sector feel they have no choice but to continue using if they want exposure – they think “this is what you have to do because this is what everyone is doing.”
Partnering with Uber Eats is marketing in itself. But that’s not enough: Considering the high commissions, those apps take, restaurants might not make any money through the app. Yet they hope to convert sales to their direct channels, and it starts with getting noticed.
The Power Of Direct Customer Contact
Most business owners if not all understand the power of referrals and repeat customs. It is essential that business owners, especially within the hospitality sector are able to communicate with their prospective customers directly.
In the case of restaurants, what makes them the most profit is bums on chairs. A family of 5, not ordering via an app that charges unwarranted fees – but venturing into the premises, enjoying all the restaurant has to offer along with drinks, desserts, and more. That is the lifeblood of a successful restaurant. The same principle applies in various forms across the sector.
But what if, as opposed to being dictated to by platforms, businesses were able to put forward the best offerings in the format they desire?
