Why Jackson restaurants are switching to direct ordering

Jackson's restaurant scene is competitive. With 500+ restaurants serving 153,701, standing out on third-party delivery apps is increasingly difficult. Restaurants near Mississippi State Capitol and Fondren District are discovering that owning their online ordering channel is the key to sustainable growth.

The Jackson food delivery market is evolving. Steady demand from state government workers, medical center employees (UMMC is a major employer), and Fondren District residents. Instead of paying 15-30% commission on every order to DoorDash or Uber Eats, forward-thinking Jackson restaurants are switching to commission-free direct ordering platforms.
