Did you know that food delivery apps can take up to 30% of each sale?

Question

Hey PH community! Here is my 3rd launch in 4 weeks!

I was a frequent user of Uber Eats, Glovo (in Spain), and similar services, but I found out they take a significant cut of what you pay for your meals.

So, I decided to help restaurants gain independence with their own mobile apps through dinesto!

Got questions? Shoot!

Answer

@mathis_vella Got it! This all makes sense and thanks for breaking it down for me. I like the aspect of a pickup app that gives brands more control of managing existing customers. Without seeing the UI etc. I think you have something here. If you would like feedback or further discussions on my experience in this space feel free to hit me up.

Love it! Congrats. I am a little familiar with this space so my question is pretty straightforward. Companies use Uber Eats, Door Dash (the largest) for customer acquisition so how would they gain access to new customers with dinesto? Also, does dinesto have access to delivery service?

To begin, clarify your app's purpose and target audience. Then, focus on design and functionality. If you're looking for features that enhance user experience and efficiency, consider checking out insights on delivery apps. Additionally, finding a reliable development team or platform specializing in app development could streamline the process.

Wow I have never heard about it. The fact that food delivery apps can take up to 30% of each sale is quite surprising. This definitely impacts both the restaurants and the customers. On a related note, my experience with Mezeh customer service was excellent when I ordered directly from them. It's often better to order straight from the restaurant to support them more effectively. Plus, direct interaction often leads to better service and fresher food.

Thank you so much @omar_jones !

Hey @omar_jones thanks for the feedback!

Regarding your question on customer acquisition:
- Dinesto is all about strengthening relationships with existing customers. For new customers, restaurants can still use Uber Eats or DoorDash. 
A neat trick could be adding a QR code on receipts from Uber Eats or DoorDash orders, directing to the restaurant's Dinesto app for a special offer on their next order.

As for the delivery part:
- While Dinesto doesn’t currently handle delivery, I'm open to implementing solutions like Stuart in the future if there's demand. Meanwhile, the platform is perfect for click and collect services (+ delivery using the restaurant own riders), especially beneficial in areas where delivery solutions are scarce.

Hope it helps!
