Commission-free restaurant ordering in Garland
Garland restaurants: keep 100% of your order revenue with direct ordering.
DirectOrders helps Garland restaurants keep all revenue with commission-free ordering in one of DFW's most diverse suburban food scenes.
The Garland food scene
Garland's food scene is driven by its extraordinary ethnic diversity - the city's Vietnamese, Korean, and Mexican restaurants are among the best in the DFW metroplex. The stretch of restaurants along Walnut Street and Jupiter Road offers a world food tour at prices that undercut Dallas and Plano. Downtown Garland's square is developing an independent restaurant culture.

Why Garland restaurants are switching to direct ordering
Garland 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.
Garland's exceptional ethnic restaurants are buried on third-party platforms that focus on Dallas proper, and the city's affordable price points make percentage-based commissions especially painful.
Garland's diverse communities drive strong delivery demand for home-culture cuisine, and the city's suburban sprawl makes delivery more convenient than driving to scattered ethnic restaurants.
