How to Start a Food Delivery Service Moving to online food delivery and/or takeaway model is no easy decision, given the current situation that may have spurred this move.

Use these checkpoints to ensure your food delivery services are delivery-proof! It will take you through the steps of setting up online food delivery in your restaurant, and ensure you have not missed the critical pieces of the puzzle. 1. Decide Your Delivery Route Before you start preparing for food delivery, decide your best route to market: ● Will you deliver yourself? If so, organize drivers. ● Or will you use a delivery partner? Consider using a delivery partner for increased visibility and help in delivering. Review the Top Food Delivery Services now. Tip: Consider your prices. Some delivery/pick-up platforms allow you to list your menu at higher prices to accommodate for the commission fee charged. So, where possible, ensure you have factored the commission fee into the listed price. 2. Define Your Menu
Create a new condensed takeaway/delivery menu. A reduced, viable, and still-profitable mini menu makes more sense. Decide which dishes you will be delivering by balancing your most ordered dishes with those that are express-proof. You might consider incorporating some basic dishes into your menu. Remember: defining your menu also means defining how the ordering is done, having the proper tools, equipment, or automation in place. Tip: Take advantage of shelf-stable products where appropriate, which have minimal handling and last longer. View the Most Ordered Foods to help you finalize your delivery menu! Also, ensure that you have taken all the latest Food Delivery Menu Tips into account before uploading your menu. 3. Be Visible on Google Get your business set up on Google by setting your Google My Businessaccount. Represent your business effectively on Google with these setup tips: If you’re doing delivery without a platform, create your own links and add them to your Google listing. Tip: Google has just added delivery and takeout filters on Google Maps to boost your presence.
