The problem faced by numerous hospitality businesses
Menu Mates realised through our conversations with restaurants, cafe and takeaway that one of the biggest trends coming into the food space currently is online ordering. However, all the existing widespread solutions in the market were a nightmare for restaurant and cafe owners paying upwards of 30% in commissions.
From this perspective, paying a % to acquire a new customer seems worth it especially when repeat business is expected. Your regular customers soon realise that ordering online is more convenient for themselves but as a result, you end up losing. The % on each order taken from marketplace online ordering apps are the same regardless if it is a new or existing customer. Meaning a regular customer costs the same amount as a new customer.
