"I like that there is a flat rate and we can push as much volume through it as possible. Plus, being integrated with our POS system makes handling the orders very simple. Having visual graphics to show the customers what they are getting has really helped and the customers enjoy seeing their order. Along with this, the visual up-selling to customers has also helped a lot.“
- Brian Banick, Solo’s Pizza
StepSet Up For Success
3:
Mistake #1:Requiring Registration Too Early!
• Don’t make customers sign in to start an order or browse the menu!
•Make registration less painful – use shortcuts like Register with Facebook
Mistake #2:Ignoring the Power of Pictures
• Use pictures for your food & modifiers to increase the mouth-watering appeal.
• Get professional help for consistent, appealing photos
Mistake #3:Going Off Site
• Embed the online ordering into your website to give consumers confidence – your URL stays the same.
Mistake #4:Cutting Off The Cash
• 29% of Americans do not have a credit card!
• Allow a cash – “Pay At Delivery” option to maximize potential revenue.
Mistake #5:Forget the Follow Up
• Now you know your customers – reward them for their loyalty with an integrated points & perks program
“Many customers these days only want to use online ordering, plus the average check is much higher. The pictures are what really help to sell the product. Besides the pizza, the customers view all the sandwiches, desserts and other food we offer and you can’t do that over the phone. I wish I had started online ordering years ago.”
--Gary Cooney, Waldo Cooney’s Pizza
