Why Beaumont restaurants are switching to direct ordering
Beaumont restaurants that rely on DoorDash and Uber Eats pay 15-30% of every order in commissions. For a restaurant doing 400 orders per month at $30 average, that is $3,000 per month going to platforms instead of your business. Direct ordering flips that equation: you pay a flat monthly fee, keep 100% of order revenue, and own your customer data for repeat marketing.
Beaumont's refinery shift workers order at all hours; restaurants need always-on ordering systems that marketplace apps don't always serve well in this market.
Consistent demand from refinery workers across all shifts and families in residential areas, with strong weekend ordering for crawfish and BBQ.

Frequently asked questions for Beaumont restaurants
What delivery options do Beaumont restaurants have with DirectOrders?

Beaumont restaurants on marketplace apps report paying 20-30% after commissions, marketing fees, and tablet charges. For context, most restaurants operate on 5-10% net margins. A flat-fee ordering platform keeps your costs predictable regardless of order volume.
