Montgomery's food culture is a living archive of Southern and African American culinary traditions.

Why Montgomery restaurants are switching to direct ordering
Montgomery's restaurant scene is competitive. With 700+ restaurants serving 200,603, standing out on third-party delivery apps is increasingly difficult. Restaurants near Downtown Montgomery and Old Alabama Town are discovering that owning their online ordering channel is the key to sustainable growth.
The Montgomery food delivery market is evolving. Montgomery's military community at Maxwell Air Force Base, state government workforce, and Alabama State University students drive consistent delivery demand across the city. Instead of paying 15-30% commission on every order to DoorDash or Uber Eats, forward-thinking Montgomery restaurants are switching to commission-free direct ordering platforms.
Challenges Montgomery restaurants face
Montgomery's restaurants serve a market with lower price expectations, and third-party platforms' percentage-based commissions disproportionately impact affordable soul food and barbecue spots.
