Ordering and Loyalty Apps for Retail Stores, Restaurants and Salons

Food delivery aggregators and marketplaces bring customers, but they take a large commission and keep the customer relationship for themselves. For restaurants, bakeries, retail stores and salons with loyal local customers, a branded app can bring repeat business directly, at a much lower cost per order.

When your own app makes sense

• You have a base of regular customers who order or visit often
• Aggregator commissions are hurting margins
• You want to run your own offers and loyalty programme
• You have multiple outlets or a delivery team

If you are just starting, a mobile-friendly website with WhatsApp ordering may be enough. An app becomes valuable once you have repeat customers to retain.
