Where the extra money goes
When you order through a delivery app, the price you pay often includes more than the food: service fees, delivery fees and, in many cases, menu prices raised to cover the 15% to 30% commission the app charges the restaurant. The restaurant receives less, and you pay more.
Ordering direct is usually cheaper
Many restaurants have their own ordering page or a QR code on the bag or the door. Ordering there, the restaurant keeps the full amount and can afford fair menu prices. If they deliver with their own staff, the delivery fee goes to them, not to a platform.
How to find the direct link
Look on the restaurant's social media profile, on its Google listing, on the receipt or the bag, or simply ask on WhatsApp. Restaurants using Bite2u have a link where you see the menu in your language, order, pay and choose delivery or pickup.
For restaurant owners
If you run a restaurant, this is your argument for your own channel: customers who order direct save money, and you keep 100% of the order. Bite2u gives you that channel for a flat monthly fee with 0% commission, plus a 14-day free trial.
