In today’s competitive restaurant industry, every dollar counts. With rising costs in food, labor, and utilities, restaurants must find innovative ways to maximize their profits and enhance customer satisfaction. One way restaurants are reclaiming their margins is by moving to a 0% commission model for online orders. With Straunt’s restaurant management software, you can harness the power of commission-free online ordering and keep more of your hard-earned revenue. Let’s dive into how a 0% commission model can make a significant difference for your restaurant.
The High Cost of Commission-Based Platforms
Third-party delivery apps have become a go-to solution for restaurants looking to expand their reach, but they often come with a hefty price tag. Many platforms charge commissions that can range from 15% to as high as 30% per order. For every sale made through these platforms, a significant portion of revenue goes directly to the app, leaving restaurants with shrinking profit margins.
In an industry where margins are notoriously thin, these high fees can seriously impact the bottom line. For small and mid-sized restaurants, every dollar that goes to a commission fee is money that could have gone toward hiring staff, upgrading equipment, or enhancing the customer experience.
