Is the online ordering system cost as real as they project it?
The bare naked truth about
food delivery portals
Are food portals bringing local restaurants on the edge of bankruptcy?
The answer will shock you.
Partnering up with third party food portals is like giving your business the kiss of death. Their commission fees grow just like a cancer over time, until bankruptcy becomes unavoidable.
Ubereats & GrubHub thrive, by pocketing up to 20–30% worth of commission fees from every restaurant order, while restaurants barely make ends meet.
The problem is even more dire, since restaurants don’t even have the luxury to slightly increase their prices. That happens because delivery portals want to have competitive prices, so they don’t allow restaurants to increase their prices to get a thin profit margin.
How much money does a restaurant lose when fulfilling an UberEats order?
Why do restaurants sign up to deliver with UberEats?
UberEats promises restaurants a so-called partnership that will get them:
- online exposure
- new clients
- and ultimately more online orders
For both new and established restaurants, this is the ideal goal. However, from the moment the restaurant signs up, it become nothing more than a food supplier to UberEats.
The restaurants cannot even get in touch and send food promos to their clients, since this delivery platform keeps the client details secret. Their goal is to intermediate every transaction – this way, the middleman gets a chunk out of every order.
