Good Stuff Happens in 1:1 Meetings: Why you need them and how to do them well
Restaurant business model
1. Restaurant business model
Restaurant patrons in the past have had only a few choices when it came to what could be
delivered to them. Pizza and Chinese was about it. Left out was everything else. Take out
is now offered by many large chain restaurants. And savy entrepreneurs have been filling
the gap between customers and these take out menus by offering delivery in large cities
around the nation. I stumbled upon this while in Kansas City one year and thought it was
a fabulous idea.
Currently most restaurants cater to the idea that everyone wants to go out and eat. This
has been the norm for years. As the restaurant game has changed over the years so has the
restaurant business. twenty some years ago people cooked at home much more than
today. fast food, microwave dinners, and take out now dominate most households. The
idea of mom having the meal prepared and ready when dad get home from work is pretty
much non existent these days. Many households the only home cooked meals where
everyone is together these days are major holidays. This is especially true if children are
teen aged or in college as everyone's schedules are different and no one frankly has time
to sit down as a family. This also leads to much more reliance on fast food and
restaurants.
Due to this take out is much more popular now. And delivery is starting to follow suit.
Delivery is the most convenient form a restaurant can now take with peoples individual
schedules more packed than ever. Restaurant owners can leverage these delivery services
to deliver their food in an afforable means for their business. The restaurant does not need
drivers, vehicles, or insurance to now offer delivery as the delivery service takes care of
those needs. The delivery service works with many restaurants so they offset their costs
by always delivering and staying busy with the different groups using them. There a a
few different business models out there. Some work with select restaurants only. Some
charge restaurants a fee to offer their services. Some do a mix of both charging the
customer and restaurant. Whatever the business model they all strive to fill the gap
between take out and the delivery option.
