Big names like Amazon, Uber, and Yelp are helping to spread delivery service across American cities. “The hustle and bustle in the nation’s capital can make it difficult to try all the amazing restaurants around town.” “Now, Amazon Restaurants makes it easy to skip traffic and get delicious meals from top restaurants conveniently delivered to your office or home in an hour or less.” But brands that avoid partnering with the big delivery services risk not only not being discovered by new customers, but alienating existing ones who are already using Amazon, Yelp or Uber.

Key Takeaways:

  • Arianne Bennett never foresaw her restaurant offering delivery service, yet alone multiple delivery options. After all, her Amsterdam Falafelshop concept features piping hot falafel balls fresh out of the fryer.
  • It’s certainly not a model we ever considered when we first got started. Our expectation as a restaurant is we hand you a pita or a bowl and you fix it for yourself. We’ve never even had staff people making salads or sandwiches.
  • Big names like Amazon, Uber, and Yelp are helping to spread delivery service across American cities.

“In late February, Amazon rolled out its Amazon Restaurants delivery service to many neighborhoods in the nation’s capital, expanding its earlier footprint from Northern Virginia.”

In food service cost control should not be at the expense of customer satisfaction. You have to be fiscally responsible,consider costs of food, labor and supplies. Social responsibility involves saving on food waste with proper ordering and storage. Environmental responsibility in switching out biodegradable cups and plates with take out orders can drive up business and customer satisfaction. You can even save on water while driving business using these items for those dining in or taking out food.

Key Takeaways:

  • It is important to think about the cost of food production
  • Environmental factors are also a concern when producing food and food supplies.
  • Less than half of individuals ages 18-24 agree that waste reduction and recycling are important.

“Keeping costs in check is paramount in running a functioning food operation, of course.”
