Third-party delivery apps are eating your margins. A custom website with direct online ordering means every order goes straight to you — no middleman, no commissions, no giving away your customer data.
DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub charge 15–30% per order. On a $50 order, that's $7.50 to $15 gone per transaction. Those platforms also own your customer relationships — you can't email them, you can't build loyalty, and you're competing with every other restaurant in the app.
When someone searches "best Thai food near me" or "Italian restaurant Palm Beach," Google shows ads, the local map pack, and organic results. If your restaurant doesn't have a website optimized for local search, you're invisible in all three. A Facebook page isn't enough — you need a real site Google can rank.
A restaurant doing $15,000/month in delivery through third-party apps pays $2,250–$4,500/month in commissions. Shifting even half of those orders to direct ordering saves $13,500–$27,000/year — more than enough to pay for a new website in month one.
