The town's rapid growth has attracted restaurateurs who might otherwise have opened in Scottsdale, and a growing Indian and East Asian population has diversified the dining options well beyond the typical suburban fare.

Why Gilbert restaurants are switching to direct ordering
Gilbert's restaurant scene is competitive. With 900+ restaurants serving 267,918, standing out on third-party delivery apps is increasingly difficult. Restaurants near Gilbert Heritage District and Downtown Gilbert are discovering that owning their online ordering channel is the key to sustainable growth.
The Gilbert food delivery market is evolving. Gilbert's family-focused suburbs with young, dual-income households drive enormous dinner delivery demand from parents who want quality food without packing the kids into the car. Instead of paying 15-30% commission on every order to DoorDash or Uber Eats, forward-thinking Gilbert restaurants are switching to commission-free direct ordering platforms.
