data

comes with headaches

expensive

OUR 3RD PARTY PLATFORM PHILOSOPHY
23
WE PROVIDE THE TOOLS TO AVOID THIS SHAME
We consider Waitbusters complimentary to
delivery services. We strongly believe
restaurants should take advantage of the big
audiences GrubHub and Uber Eats provide,
but those services should serve as
springboards. When restaurants fulfill those
outside delivery orders, they should include a
coupon offering 10 percent off the next
meal if it’s ordered directly through the
restaurant’s site. In other words, a third party
like GrubHub or DoorDash should become
more of an acquisition tool for a restaurant
rather than an ongoing driver of business.
