Facing the Grubhub Dilemma
Many independent restaurant owners find themselves caught in the Grubhub cycle, relying heavily on third-party platforms to manage online orders. While these platforms offer convenience, they also come with high commission fees that eat into profits. Imagine owning a restaurant where you could keep the full margin of your sales while still offering a seamless online ordering experience. This is where Dinevate's Online Ordering System comes into play.
Understanding the Impact
Relying on Grubhub can be costly. High commissions, lack of direct customer relationships, and limited control over the ordering process are just a few challenges. Independent restaurants often struggle to compete with chains that have their own systems. By not addressing these issues, restaurants risk losing both revenue and customer loyalty.

Why Traditional Solutions Fall Short
Many restaurants attempt to manage online orders through multiple third-party platforms without realizing the hidden costs. These solutions often require technical expertise and offer limited customization, leading to a disjointed customer experience.
