True Zero-Commission Restaurant Delivery

DirectOrders integrates with Uber Direct and DoorDash Drive at flat rates. You pay the actual delivery cost with no markup from us. You can also use your own drivers. Switch between options per order based on availability and cost.

Yes. DirectOrders supports your in-house drivers alongside third-party options. You can assign orders to your drivers or let AI automatically choose the best option based on distance, availability, and cost.

DirectOrders integrates with Uber Direct and DoorDash Drive for on-demand delivery. These services provide professional drivers at flat, transparent rates, typically $5-8 per delivery depending on distance.

Restaurants typically save 20-30% compared to marketplace delivery fees. Instead of paying 15-30% commission per order to DoorDash or Uber Eats, you pay only the flat delivery cost. Actual savings depend on your order volume and delivery distance.

DirectOrders AI checks all available networks simultaneously. It considers geo-location, real-time traffic, surge pricing from local events, your preferences (cost vs speed vs quality), customer preferences, and your profit margins. If Uber Direct has no drivers nearby, it instantly checks DoorDash Drive, and vice versa. If you have your own drivers, they are checked first based on your priority rules. AI picks the fastest, most cost-effective option in real-time across all networks. You can set priority rules to control which service is tried first.

You decide. Most restaurants pass the delivery fee to customers at checkout, where the fee is transparently displayed based on distance. Some restaurants absorb part or all of the delivery cost as a promotion. You can set different rules for different order sizes, for example offering free delivery on orders over $40.

Yes. You can define your delivery radius by distance or by drawing custom zones on a map. You can also set different delivery fees for different zones. For example, free delivery within 3 miles and a small fee for 3-7 miles. Orders outside your delivery area are automatically set to pickup only.

Three reasons: (1) Lower prices. No service fees, no inflated menu prices. What they see is what they pay. (2) Better experience. Direct communication with your restaurant, not a call center. Faster issue resolution. (3) Rewards and loyalty. Customers who order direct earn points, get birthday rewards, and receive personalized offers they cannot get on DoorDash. On marketplace apps, they are anonymous.

You have full control with five options: customer pays the full fee, you absorb it entirely (free delivery), you subsidize part of it, rule-based automation (e.g. free delivery on orders over $40 or for returning customers), or margin-based AI optimization where AI decides per order based on your profit thresholds. You can mix all five models and change them anytime from your dashboard.

Uber Direct and DoorDash Drive are white-label delivery APIs, separate from their consumer marketplace apps. These companies make money on per-delivery fees, not restaurant commissions. They want delivery volume from any source. DirectOrders sends them orders, their drivers earn money, restaurants keep their margins. It is a different business model than DoorDash the app. Everyone wins.

Yes. DirectOrders includes a delivery range extender. During off-peak hours when driver availability is high, AI can automatically expand your delivery radius to capture orders from areas you normally do not serve. You set the maximum extended range and the conditions under which it activates. More reach, more orders, no extra effort.
