Why Setting up Your Own Online Ordering System Benefits You
But first, you might be wondering why setting up your own online ordering systems is worth the time and money when you could use a service.
We know it’s a difficult decision, so we’ve put together some of the benefits of hosting your own delivery system:
You’ll save money – While 3rd party service might save you a little time, most of these services will charge you a percentage on each sale or subscription cost. When setting up your own system, you’ll have some upfront costs, but most of these are one-off or yearly and tiny in comparison.
You will have the freedom to make changes – Once you’ve built your own online ordering restaurant app, you can change and update it when you see fit. A 3rd party system will always limit you in terms of how you display your items, how you offer delivery, and the system's look and feel.
You’ll have the ability to grow and scale – When you host your delivery system yourself, you can add more payment methods, improve product pages, add features, and more.
You get to keep your customers – Don’t build your house on someone else's land. In other words, when you use a 3rd party platform to offer delivery, you’re also sharing your customers with your competitors’ and the 3rdparty system. When you keep your system in-house, you’re ensuring you keep your customers loyal and distraction-free.
