Why Daly City restaurants are switching to direct ordering
Daly City 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.
Small, family-owned Asian restaurants often lack the tech resources to build their own online presence and default to high-commission marketplaces
Strong demand from a dense residential community that values authentic home-style Asian and Filipino cooking delivered fast

Frequently asked questions for Daly City restaurants
How do Daly City restaurants turn one-time orders into repeat customers?
The key is owning the customer relationship. When someone orders through a marketplace app, the app owns that data and may promote your competitors to that same customer. With direct ordering, Daly City restaurants keep the contact information and can send personalized offers that bring customers back.
What types of Daly City restaurants benefit most from direct ordering?
Restaurants with established reputations and repeat customers see the fastest adoption. Among Daly City's 400+ restaurants, the ones that benefit most are those doing 150+ online orders per month, where commission savings add up quickly. But even newer restaurants gain from building a customer database from day one.
How do Daly City restaurants get started with DirectOrders?
Most Daly City restaurants are live the same day they sign up. You share your menu and branding, and DirectOrders builds your ordering page. No hardware to install, no long-term contract. You can run it alongside marketplace apps and compare results.
What delivery options do Daly City restaurants have with DirectOrders?
You have three options: use integrated courier services (Uber Direct, DoorDash Drive), use your own delivery staff, or offer pickup only. Many Daly City restaurants combine pickup with courier delivery and set a minimum order amount to keep delivery profitable. You control the zones, fees, and estimated times.
How can Daly City restaurants reduce dependency on third-party apps?
Start by setting up your own ordering channel and promoting it to existing customers. Add a direct ordering link to your Google Business Profile, put QR codes on receipts and tables, and send a text to your customer list. Daly City restaurants that take this approach typically shift 20-40% of marketplace orders to direct within three months.
