When you started a restaurant business, you must have definitely required a lot of resources such as kitchen equipment, staff etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, while taking your food business to the next level, you will also require some resources such as,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1)<\/strong> <strong><u>Delivery Drivers<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can only offer an in-store pick-up option. But not many customers would prefer to travel just to pick up their meal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">During the extensive period of lockdown, people found doorstep delivery of every essential item affordable, convenient and time-saving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their same expectation continues even in 2021. Thus, it is profitable for your restaurant business to offer doorstep delivery options for food subscription boxes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for that, you will require delivery drivers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Challenging part:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there will be the challenge of managing the delivery drivers and their jobs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you have 25 deliveries to make in the next 2 hours and there are 5 drivers available for the jobs, how would you make sure that each driver completes a single delivery in 24 minutes to make 25 deliveries successfully without delay in 2 hours?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might consider compromising the promise of on-time delivery. But it will affect your brand image badly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might consider hiring more delivery drivers, but it increases your operational costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workable solutions here are tech-enabled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">You can reduce job assigning time by letting your restaurant app assigns the delivery jobs automatically to your available drivers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They receive all details of the delivery on their mobile phone automatically.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can reduce communication and coordination time by streamlining the entire process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">You can even track delivery drivers\u2019 locations online to ensure they are on-time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2)<\/strong> <strong><u>A mobile app or website<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most basic requirement to run any business profitably during and beyond the pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Can you imagine Netflix without a mobile app and website?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a mobile app or website, you can provide an easy medium to your customers to,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Explore your food subscription plans&nbsp;<\/li><li>Select the food subscription plan(s)&nbsp;<\/li><li>Customize it&nbsp;<\/li><li>Make payment&nbsp;<\/li><li>Place on-demand orders&nbsp;<\/li><li>Track the order&nbsp;<\/li><li>Raise queries&nbsp;<\/li><li>Communicate with delivery drivers &amp; restaurant&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But the question here is,&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Between mobile apps and websites, what should you select to start a food subscription service in Canada?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me share some real facts which are not going to change even in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Almost every business that now owns a website will need to have a mobile app in future.&nbsp;<\/li><li>A mobile app offers a better user experience than a website.&nbsp;<\/li><li>A mobile app offers a great range of features such as push notifications that you can utilize to generate sales.&nbsp;<\/li><li>A mobile app loads much faster than a website and it also works offline.&nbsp;<\/li><li>A website gives you better visibility on Google search than a mobile app.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Developing a mobile app is 70-80% costlier than a website.&nbsp;<\/li><li>A website requires more frequent maintenance than an app.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Surely, the app is better than a website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this does not mean that there is nothing that can replace mobile apps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">A progressive web app can brilliantly replace mobile apps while not making you lose anything!<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>What is a progressive web app (PWA)?
