Otherwise, we risk a slow death.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>The Problem with the 3rd Party Food Delivery Apps&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Roger Yang registered his restaurant on UberEats during the pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was hoping that UberEats would give him more customers and more profit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But soon Yang found that they are just handling their existing customers over to UberEats. Nothing more!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also found it very frustrating that on each meal order, the UberEats was taking commission up to 30% from restaurants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the delivery drivers who are independent gig workers are a big part of the problem as even the food delivery companies do not have control over them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they delay the delivery, customers blame the restaurants and restaurants cannot do anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many times, the algorithm of the app assigns two deliveries at once to the same driver.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a very great earning opportunity for drivers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for restaurants, they have to prepare two orders in record-breaking time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for the customers, they need to wait until the driver completes the first delivery!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>And Here\u2019s the Solution For Restaurants Frustrated With 3rd Party Food Delivery Services&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A restaurant-run co-operative model is a solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>What is the restaurant-run co-operative model?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prime focus of the restaurant-run co-operative model is to dodge the high commission, poor support, and lack of control over delivery drivers &#8211; of top food delivery apps in Canada.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under this model, you as the restaurant owner hire your own delivery drivers who receive insurance and hourly salary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can train your drivers to not only deliver the food but to work in the kitchen and cleaning area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When there is no delivery, they can utilize their time in the kitchen and cleaning area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to collaborate with other local restaurants, hire more drivers and split the cost as well as resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meaning, if there is a food delivery request in your nearby restaurant and it does not have any delivery driver, that restaurant can utilize your driver and deliver food to its customer on-time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since these are your hired drivers, you will have higher control over them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, such a model requires extreme collaboration and communication which can only be accomplished by a food delivery mobile app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Days are gone when apps are only for big players. Mobile apps are now very affordable and easy-to-own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It only costs the commission you pay to 3rd party mobile apps in the span of 1.5 to 2 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>The Working Of the Restaurant-Run Co-Operative Model<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You tie-up with all restaurants in your area or city.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You hire delivery drivers and develop the app.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You split the cost with restaurants you\u2019ve tied up.&nbsp;<\/li><li>All tied up restaurants register themselves on your app.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Customers order food from either your restaurant or listed restaurants using the app.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Your hired delivery drivers deliver the food.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You don\u2019t take the delivery fee &amp; commission from the listed restaurants as you\u2019ve already split the cost.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Each restaurant enjoys full earning and control over drivers.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>The Scope Of the Restaurant-Run Co-Operative Model<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, you must be wondering whether your idea to develop a food delivery app for your own restaurant and other local restaurants will work out or not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it will. And there are solid reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ask yourself? Why am I planning to develop my own app like SkipTheDishes or DoorDash?<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because, you don\u2019t want to pay commission to 3rd party apps, you want to have higher control over delivery drivers, you want to provide the best service to your customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like you, many other restaurant owners are dreaming the same &#8211; and not finding 3rd party apps useful and profitable at all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you solve the problems they are facing with UberEats, DoorDash and SkipTheDishes, they would really appreciate your app idea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And &#8211; in the worst-case scenario &#8211; if they don\u2019t want to tie up with you, you can develop an app for your restaurant only &#8211; and outperform them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, a food delivery app costs the commission you pay to 3rd party mobile apps in the span of 1.5 to 2 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>The Government is Supporting Home-Based Food Business&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many entrepreneurs prefer to first start a home-based food business before jumping to the niche market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To support these entrepreneurs, the Ontario government recently announced regulatory changes to allow more flexibility to sell low-risk, home-prepared foods via online and offline channels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also announced to provide a guide on how to start a home-based food delivery business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrepreneurs who want to take their home-based food business to the next level should consider the mobile app to reach more people and manage the business through a screen only.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>We\u2019re All Set to Develop a Food Delivery App Like DoorDash or SkipTheDishes For You. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t call ourselves the food delivery app development company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re just a team of problem solvers &#8211; who code, plan, execute, design, deliver, support and automate &#8211; to solve the problems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our in-house app developers, designers, business analysts and legal experts remain always eager to bring the change &#8211; and make technology affordable for everyone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to solve the challenge we just shared in this blog &#8211; or any other challenge you\u2019re facing with your restaurant business, just share it with us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We promise you to make you free from all challenges &#8211; with an affordable app &#8211; within 30 days!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roger Yang has been running a Pizza Shop in Downtown Toronto.&nbsp; In May 2020, he decided to do something crazy.&nbsp; He wanted to have an alternative to 3rd party delivery apps.&nbsp; Why?
