Atlanta Georgia Food Delivery App Options
These days it seems almost everything is online. From online shopping to food delivery, it is what the market is looking for!
But how do you know what app to use, what online store to setup, or what is the best option?
In this post we are going to focus on the food delivery market specifically in Atlanta Georgia.
Atlanta Georgia Food Delivery
Food delivery is a huge market of itself in Atlanta Georgia.
These days more and more people are making money by simply driving food to and from a location.
Why would people want to do this?
Typically it is for supplemental income. You can set your own schedule, choose your pickups, and manage your revenue!
For the restaurants though, it can be tricky knowing which services to pair with.
Top Apps & What To Look For
What are restaurants looking for then? Which delivery app is the “best” for them to use?
This entirely depends on the needs of the restaurant. There are several online ordering options that typically come with native POS systems mostly for takeout that are completely free. In addition, if they have their own delivery drivers then the restaurants might not have a need for a separate app.
Although, there is a slight problem with this logic.
By only working through your own market, you are lacking additional exposure that can come from using a third party app. Essentially, you are only serving your same customers over and over maintaining but limiting growth severely.
This is where third party apps shine.
They are able to exposure your restaurant to new users daily giving you opportunities for growth. Therefore, lets take a look at some of our favorite delivery apps.
DoorDash Georgia
The first third party app we are going to look at is called DoorDash.
A popular app in Georgia with many benefits to using it.
Besides the clean design, friendly support, and driver system, DoorDash seems to excel at one thing in particular.
That is marketing.
DoorDash is great at marketing not only its own app but the restaurants it serves as well. We have personally heard from tons of locations around Atlanta how many additional orders this app brings them day after day by simply turning it on.
Clearly, this is a huge pro, but there are cons to consider.
DoorDash does charge huge fees for its service. On average a restaurant will pay anywhere from 20% to 35% of the ticket total out to the app. These fees incur from the delivery fee, platform fee, service fee, and advertisement fees.
Now, there are more apps to use that we will look at!
UberEats Atlanta
The second app we recommend restaurants in Atlanta, Georgia look at is UberEats!
Most people have more than likely heard about this one.
UberEats does have different pros and cons than DoorDash from restaurant owners that have used both.
While DoorDash might bring more orders, there are problems with consistency, quality of food, and security of food. We will not get into details, but as you can imagine this does not fly with local owners.
UberEats on the other hand seems to be much more careful and delicate with customers food orders.
This ultimately results in better reviews, experience and returning customers.
The downside to UberEats is that they do not quite measure up to the marketing presence that the other company does limiting the exposure in Atlanta.
Similarly, the fees are about the same for both platforms making them equally expensive.
Lets look at a newer third option on the market.
AppyMeal Atlanta
The third option is actually limited to only local and independently owned restaurants.
This app is called AppyMeal and has several features we think you are going to love.
AppyMeal is a local startup to Atlanta, Georgia, and works directly with restaurants to get them setup and going on their marketplace for free.
Most importantly, their fees are as low as 2% for restaurants that sign up now. That is a huge difference in price from the other apps.
What are some other pros?
AppyMeal, like we said, only works with locals meaning that it consistently supports the local communities. Additionally, the local spots are not having to compete with franchises cluttering the app taking away precious orders and exposure.
What are the main cons?
They are new.
Obviously it will take time for AppyMeal to become a house hold name and therefore the app will not produce as many orders as the other popular apps above. With time, AppyMeal will start to build out its marketing and bring orders to local communities everywhere.
