Hi
I’ve just read this post and I think I can share some information. I have quite a bit of experience with online ordering: my company actually has created a cutting-edge online ordering product called Smarter Takeout, so I can outline the advantages that attract restaurants’ owners in online ordering. There is a list of just some basic advantages guaranteed by online ordering integration:

  • No need of phone as you receive orders in real time
  • No miscommunication as customers control the ordering process
  • Easy access to menus and specials
  • Sales increase to the fast-growing internet-savvy audience
  • Significant labor saving
  • Ability to conduct successful online campaigns
  • Customers satisfaction as a result

The most popular chain restaurants are now getting a lion share or their orders through online ordering. With rapid growth of internet sales online ordering option seems to be a must.
I’d love to provide more information if you’re interested. Send me a PM or visit http://www.smartertakeout.com/reasons-t … ne_cp.aspx for more information.
