Alternative to Uber Eats
Uber Eats gives reach but charges an expensive rent. Your own channel via ViralConvert lowers cost per order and gives better data.
What you gain
- No commission per order.
- Your own domain and brand.
- Your own customer data and marketing.
- Integration with POS, KDS and Fortnox.
- Support for delivery, pickup and table service.
- Full control over campaigns and prices.
Should we keep Uber Eats?
Many restaurants run both. Uber Eats brings new customers; own channel builds margin and loyalty.
The goal is usually to gradually move regulars to the own site.
