Why Yonkers restaurants are switching to direct ordering

Yonkers's restaurant scene is competitive. With 900+ restaurants serving 211,569, standing out on third-party delivery apps is increasingly difficult. Restaurants near Yonkers Waterfront and Getty Square are discovering that owning their online ordering channel is the key to sustainable growth.

The Yonkers food delivery market is evolving. Yonkers' dense urban core and proximity to NYC create delivery demand from residents who expect big-city food variety and convenience at Westchester pace. Instead of paying 15-30% commission on every order to DoorDash or Uber Eats, forward-thinking Yonkers restaurants are switching to commission-free direct ordering platforms.

Challenges Yonkers restaurants face

Yonkers restaurants compete against all of New York City on third-party delivery platforms, making visibility for a Getty Square taqueria or a McLean Avenue Italian deli nearly impossible.
