Why Carrollton restaurants are switching to direct ordering
Carrollton 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.
Carrollton's diverse family-run restaurants often lack polished online ordering; customers default to marketplace apps that charge restaurants 25-30% commissions.
High demand from diverse families and DFW commuters, with particularly strong Korean and Indian restaurant delivery volumes.
