Why Restaurant Owners Are Choosing 0% Commission Online Ordering Platforms

Author: Vikash Rd

In today’s competitive restaurant industry, profits are tight, and every dollar counts. For years, restaurant owners have used third-party ordering platforms to manage their online sales, often paying high commission fees for the convenience. But as those fees continue to cut into their earnings, more owners are moving to 0% commission online ordering platforms to increase profitability and control.

With Straunt, a comprehensive restaurant management software, restaurants can now offer online ordering directly to their customers without paying commission fees. Here’s why this shift is making such a difference.

Key Reasons Restaurants Prefer 0% Commission Platforms

  1. Full Profit Retention Traditional third-party platforms charge between 15% to 30% in commission fees, slashing restaurant profits on every order. With a 0% commission platform like Straunt, you keep 100% of every online sale, making a huge impact on your bottom line. Over time, this change alone can lead to substantial savings and provide funds that you can reinvest in your business.

  2. Customer Data Ownership When customers order through third-party platforms, the restaurant doesn’t receive valuable customer information. With a 0% commission platform, you have full access to your customer data, allowing you to build a loyal customer base. Straunt provides you with insights into customer preferences, enabling you to create targeted marketing and loyalty programs to bring customers back.

  3. Brand Visibility and Control On third-party platforms, customers see your menu in a format controlled by the platform, which limits your brand identity. With Straunt, your ordering system is customized to showcase your restaurant’s look and feel. You control the customer experience from start to finish, helping to strengthen brand loyalty and increase repeat orders.

  4. Flexible Menu Pricing and Promotions Platforms like Straunt give you complete control over your menu, allowing you to set prices and offer special promotions tailored to your business needs. Unlike third-party apps, where promotions are often generic, Straunt empowers you to create unique deals that appeal directly to your customers without commission restrictions.

  5. Seamless Customer Experience Customers appreciate a smooth and direct ordering process that feels personal. With Straunt, you create a streamlined ordering experience that makes it easy for customers to find, order, and pay—all while staying connected to your brand. This kind of experience encourages customers to order directly from you in the future.
