Cook, pack, and deliver? Your business model is restaurant-to-consumer
While online grocery business has already established itself as a leading segment of the ecommerce market, the restaurant culture has not been fully ready for a devastating COVID-19 crisis. Food delivery solutions have suddenly become a business-saver instead of an additional option to a traditional eat-in model. I don’t mean, however, that the trend was started by the pandemic – the food delivery segment has been growing steadily since 2017, with the total revenue exceeding $26 million in 2020. I also have no doubts that the trend will be alive and strong when the dust settles – consumers increasingly chase the comfort of restaurant service without leaving their homes.
- Menu management to quickly update your digital menu.
- Product pages for each item with all the ingredients indicated. Also, provide a comment section at the checkout for customers to state their individual preferences or ingredient intolerance.
- A robust yet convenient for non-techies content management tool to create and deliver new content quickly. This feature is handy to announce discounts or daily updates of specials on the homepage.
- A possibility to add downloadable items. If you serve catering events, customers need your offering with all the details compiled in a single document: menu, logistics and staff available, payment schedule, cancellation policy, and so on.
- Loyalty building tools to encourage repeat orders. Reward points redeemed for a discount or personalized coupon codes will help you compete in a crowded food delivery market.
- Upsells that are low-priced but high-converting in the restaurant sector: dressing, beverages, desserts.
Ecommerce integrations. To fit the ecommerce solution into staff routine, you need the following integrations:
- Order management system (OMS). You will have at least two channels to take orders for delivery: online and by phone. Integrated with your ecommerce solution, OMS enables automated transfer of online orders into a centralized order hub, thus saves time of your team and eliminates a chance to miss orders or order details.
- Customer relationship management system (CRM). If you are serious to evolve the provided customer experience and win long-term customer trust, you need a decent amount of customer data for analysis. CRM will collect it without the manual involvement, while reports tailored to your business and KPIs you want to track will give you a picture of business performance and progress.
