The first step is to create an online ordering platform for your restaurant. This could be an online ordering app that your customers can easily find on the App Store, or an online ordering website. Think of this platform as a blank canvas you can use to paint a picture of your brand. Use your brand logo and theme to spruce it up. Once you’ve handled the aesthetics and created a blueprint of the website or app, move on to designing the online ordering process. Your goal is to allow customers to place orders with the least number of clicks possible. Add dropdowns to menu items for easy modifications. While it may take some time to set up online ordering, it is a much more feasible option in the long run than partnering with third-party food delivery apps and paying huge commissions.
