10 Reasons To Build A Food Delivery App Like UberEatsPosted by veronica gilbert on November 26th, 2020 The foremost thing behind this transformation in the online food delivery business is because now common people started ordering through mobile applications than visiting restaurants and calling from their mobile phones.
1. Enable Contact-less Delivery 2. Digital Menu & Single Tap Contact 3. Stay Ahead of your Competitors 4. High Social Sharing 5. Enables Direct Marketing
Having a mobile application also opens up whole new areas for you to market directly with the users who are already your customers. With the application on the customer’s phone, one can send notification about the offers, new addons on the menu, special discounts and coupons, changes in operating hours, etc. So this is a very easy way of bringing customers back to your restaurant. In the restaurant business, you make some money when people come in once. You make more money when they keep coming back.
6. Location and Localization
The mobile app is the much needed one for your business because your website can be in analog mediums like phonebooks, local maps, brochures, etc but the applications make it more visible to the people, as nowadays people find ways to get a good restaurant using mobile phones.
Build a mobile app in such a way that it can send customers a push notification when they drive within a certain vicinity of your restaurant. By this, the customer doesn’t need to look at their phones for restaurants to come to mind. It is a cheaper and trendy way to advertise than paying for billboards by the roadside.
7. Loyalty and Referral Programs
In 2015 Black Friday, a pizza joint named Pizza Ranch did promotions that gave their customers double points for purchasing on that day. This generated 67.6% more business than they normally do. It was a successful strategy to do and had a 780% ROI on the money and time they invested. This worked well because of the mobile-based loyalty program.
You can continue doing loyalty programs and make them purchase more to contribute towards the final goals points by sending them a push notification to remind the loyal customers about how close they are and suggesting them to come in for a meal or drink which eventually puts them over the edge points-wise for their prize.
8. Increase ROI on Special Offers
By giving special offers like Happy hours on Saturday evening can double your profit on that night alone. This can be explained with an example, a restaurant in Mexico, decided to give special hour offers and started sending “Margarita Monday Happy Hour” through push notifications.
According to that restaurant, Monday was the best day to give their customers special offers, where the people don’t usually go out for a drink. So he makes use of it to get revenue. These can be done effectively only if a restaurant has a mobile application.
