LET’S UNPACK LOGISTICS:
Three gold-standard types and how they work for your delivery

START WITH THE RIGHT BASE
Control of your marketplace
WHAT YOU NEED:
An online ordering marketplace—one that’s owned by your restaurant and hosted through your website for guests to order directly.
WHAT A NATIVE MARKETPLACE ALLOWS:
A website that lets guests order + the system that enables your restaurant to receive orders.
WHY NATIVE:
1. You’ll have a complete picture of your business, with greater control of it.
2. You’ll be in a stronger position to deliver food to bellies.
This is where logistics kick in.
Chew on this:
You don’t need in-house logistics to build a strong delivery operation—any logistics solution that’s right for your business and connected to your owned online marketplace is considered native.
