Restaurant online ordering in Fresno, CA
Helping The Raisin Capital of the World restaurants own their orders
DirectOrders empowers Fresno restaurants with commission-free ordering in the agricultural capital of the world's food supply.
The Fresno food scene
Fresno's food scene is shaped by its position at the center of America's most productive agricultural region and its incredibly diverse population. The city has exceptional Armenian, Hmong, Mexican, and Punjabi restaurants, and its farm-to-table movement has the shortest possible supply chain — many ingredients come from within 20 miles.

Why Fresno restaurants are switching to direct ordering
Fresno's restaurant scene is competitive. With 1,800+ restaurants serving 542,107, standing out on third-party delivery apps is increasingly difficult. Restaurants near Tower District and Fulton Street are discovering that owning their online ordering channel is the key to sustainable growth.
The Fresno food delivery market is evolving. Fresno's Central Valley heat and spread-out suburban layout make delivery a daily necessity for many residents. The city's agricultural workforce and Cal State Fresno students drive consistent ordering volume. Instead of paying 15-30% commission on every order to DoorDash or Uber Eats, forward-thinking Fresno restaurants are switching to commission-free direct ordering platforms.
Challenges Fresno restaurants face
Fresno's restaurants operate in a market with lower price expectations than coastal California, but third-party platforms charge the same percentage-based commissions — a squeeze that's especially hard on immigrant-owned restaurants.
