Why Restaurants Need Online Ordering & Table Booking Software

Aggregator platforms like Swiggy, Zomato, UberEats, and GrubHub have made food ordering popular, but they charge hefty commissions (up to 30% per order) from restaurant owners. For small cafes and cloud kitchens, these commissions consume most of their profit margins.

Launching your own direct online food ordering and table booking application allows you to bypass these high portal fees and establish direct relationships with your diners.

1. Keeping 100% of Sales Margins

When customers order directly from your website or QR code, the entire payment flows into your bank account. Over a year, saving 15-30% on order commissions translates into thousands of dollars of retained profit.

2. Contactless Dine-In QR Menus

Dine-in tables equipped with branded QR codes allow guests to scan, view menus with veg/non-veg filters, customize toppings, and place orders directly to the kitchen. This reduces billing delays and pressure on wait staff during peak dining hours.

3. Direct Customer Database for Marketing

When customers use aggregator apps, you never receive their contact details. Having your own platform means you build a direct list of customer numbers. You can send custom coupons, holiday discount announcements, and loyalty updates via WhatsApp and SMS.
