Eat & Repeat can help you expand your restaurant online with your own food ordering platform. The habit of ordering meals in apps is increasingly part of our routine, and restaurant owners need to invest in their own apps to add value to their business.
With digital marketing for restaurants done right, you can accept orders on your own website, Instagram, Facebook or in a customised mobile app. It is essential that owners keep looking for new marketing strategies and ideas that add value and provide more comfort to their customers.

This will allow you to fill more seats while ignoring waiting times. Through the digital menu, customers will arrive at the restaurant and have their favourite meals ready to be served.
Any restaurant can have its own platform, without surprises, you just have to find the right support. Imagine your restaurant not only depending on existing shared platforms to serve customers who are at home?
Most food businesses, when thinking about online food ordering strategy, look for marketplaces like Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat. At first glance, they may look a great deal, but that's not the complete truth. These marketplaces of food ordering charge enormous fees for each sale made, while leaving your restaurant in a shark tank with a fiercely competitive environment, where you can't personalize marketing and can't control your customer database, in fact, you barely know who your customers are.
There are some advantages of using these marketplaces, but the strategies are complex and of course, include having your own online food ordering system so you can capture their customers to your own platform. For a better understanding of these strategies, get in touch with our specialists and arrange free consulting to get some valuable advice.
