Why it’s worth having an eCommerce for your food delivery

Index

In 2025, food delivery is now an essential part of the business of many restaurants, pizzerias and takeaways. But relying exclusively on external platforms such as Uber Eats, Just Eat or Smood can limit your freedom, your income and your relationship with customers.

The solution?

Having an eCommerce integrated directly into your website.

🚫 Commissions from external platforms: a brake on your growth

Platforms such as Uber Eats, Just Eat, Devour, etc. offer visibility and a ready-made system, but at a high price:

  • Commissions up to 30% on every order
  • No access to customer data
  • Branding totally in the hands of the platform
  • Dependence on logic and algorithms that you do not control

The more you grow, the more you pay. And this applies to both small local pizzerias and structured restaurants.

✅ The benefits of having an eCommerce for your restaurant.

With a customized website and an in-house food delivery system, you can:

1. Eliminate commissions

You pay only the cost of making and managing your site – no commission on orders.

2. Having full control

Manage schedules, products, availability, special offers, and customer communications.

3. Building customer loyalty

With your site, the customer buys directly from you. You can use marketing tools such as:

  • Customized coupons
  • Email marketing
  • WhatsApp or SMS notifications

4. Increasing margins

If a client spends CHF 30 and you give away CHF 9 to the platform, you are left with much less. With your own site, you maximize profit.

🍕 Practical example: a pizzeria at home

Imagine a pizzeria in Lugano receiving 30 orders a day via Uber Eats.
With a 30% commission, out of CHF 1,000 collected in a week, it loses CHF 300.
In a year? Over CHF 15,000 in commissions.

With its own site, however:

  • No commission
  • Direct payment via TWINT, card or cash
  • Complete control over menu and promotions

And you can also supplement:

  • Automatic opening and closing times
  • Pre-order for the next day
  • Notifications when an order arrives
  • Receiving orders on email or thermal printer
