Why Columbus restaurants are switching to direct ordering
Columbus's restaurant scene is competitive. With 600+ restaurants serving 206,922, standing out on third-party delivery apps is increasingly difficult. Restaurants near Uptown Columbus and Broadway corridor are discovering that owning their online ordering channel is the key to sustainable growth.
The Columbus food delivery market is evolving. Fort Moore's military population and their families create consistent delivery demand, with constant turnover ensuring a steady stream of new customers discovering local restaurants. Instead of paying 15-30% commission on every order to DoorDash or Uber Eats, forward-thinking Columbus restaurants are switching to commission-free direct ordering platforms.
Challenges Columbus restaurants face
Columbus's restaurants depend heavily on the military community, and high turnover at Fort Moore means constantly acquiring new customers — an expensive proposition when third-party platforms take a commission on every order.
