DirectOrders helps Fayetteville restaurants keep all their revenue with commission-free ordering in one of America's most diverse military cities.
The Fayetteville food scene
Fayetteville's food scene is one of North Carolina's most diverse, shaped by military families who've brought food traditions from around the world. Korean, Japanese, Filipino, German, and Latin American restaurants line Yadkin Road and Bragg Boulevard, creating a dining experience far more international than the city's size would suggest. Eastern NC barbecue traditions run deep here too.

Why Fayetteville restaurants are switching to direct ordering
Fayetteville 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.
Fayetteville's high military turnover means restaurants must constantly acquire new customers, and third-party platform commissions eat into the marketing budget needed to reach each new wave of service members.
Fort Liberty's 50,000+ military personnel and their families create enormous delivery demand, with constant population turnover ensuring a fresh stream of customers discovering local restaurants.
