Restaurant online ordering in Orlando, FL
Helping The City Beautiful restaurants own their orders
DirectOrders empowers Orlando restaurants with zero-commission ordering so the City Beautiful's locals and visitors alike order direct.
The Orlando food scene
Orlando's food scene has grown far beyond theme park dining. Mills 50 is a nationally recognized Vietnamese food corridor, Thornton Park and Winter Park offer upscale independent dining, and the city's Puerto Rican and Colombian communities contribute some of the best Latin food in the Southeast. Local chefs are fighting hard to prove Orlando is a food city, not just a tourist town.

Why Orlando restaurants are switching to direct ordering
Orlando's restaurant scene is competitive. With 4,500+ restaurants serving 307,573, standing out on third-party delivery apps is increasingly difficult. Restaurants near Mills 50 District and Thornton Park are discovering that owning their online ordering channel is the key to sustainable growth.
The Orlando food delivery market is evolving. Orlando's combination of 75 million tourists, a massive hospitality workforce, and a growing tech sector creates multi-layered delivery demand at all hours of the day. Instead of paying 15-30% commission on every order to DoorDash or Uber Eats, forward-thinking Orlando restaurants are switching to commission-free direct ordering platforms.
Challenges Orlando restaurants face
Orlando's independent restaurants struggle to separate themselves from the theme park dining industrial complex on third-party platforms, where Disney-area chain restaurants dominate search results.
