Your Virtual Restaurant needs and requirements don't have to come at an exclusionary price point. You don't have to settle for a slow nonfunctional website like your competitor has. Our service includes: Merchant Account support, Point Of Sales System functionality, multimedia Shopping Cart capability, Menu's and Forms as well as your own Mobile Application (PWA), Secure Payments and much more. If you are licensed to sell food in your state and want to either cut cost or increase revenue then a Virtual Restaurant (sometimes called a Ghost Restaurant because they share similarities) makes perfect sense. In the virtual concept you are free to cook in your own restaurants kitchen space and also provide your own delivery service using the classical model of you cooking and delivery drivers delivering and collecting tips. In the other concept you may be co-located with others in a rented kitchen and possibly even share a single delivery service account. You may even be serving another menu under a different online concept as many ghost concepts are available under license. In any case the method of profiting is the same, a website takes orders online and offers a secure payments capability, you get notified and then you cook the food as ordered and someone delivers the food to the consumer. We offer you the ability to own a faster, more capable virtual restaurant website that can rank better. We offer restaurateurs these benefits at a lower cost and with faster time to market than other providers as well.
Here are the TOP 5 REASONS why you should open a Virtual Restaurant Website now.
1. Drastically Reduce Your Startup + Ongoing Operational Costs (Save Money).
Classic "brick & mortar" restaurants can cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to setup and that does not include operating costs like payroll and insurance. On average, it takes 2 years for a new restaurant to break even (not make a profit, just break even). A virtual restaurant eliminates most of the startup costs and ongoing operational costs due to the use of a website as the primary interface between the restaurant and customers.
2. New + Untapped Customer Demographics
Having a virtual restaurant allows you to target new customer demographics via the use of Search Engine Optimization. Kitchens are agnostic to the food being prepared in them but people are not. With multiple websites, different themes all pointing to the same producer are possible and gaining new customers that would normally be out of reach of the classic model can happen. This means people who would normally skip your dine in restaurant due to its menu, would now being able to consume your almost limitless menu because there is cuisine that appeals to them. With our platform there is nothing stopping you from selling a large variety of food to a wider audience.
3. Online Orders = Increased Profits
Being able to rank on Search Engines is crucial for getting organic new leads as stated previously. Having a measurably faster website is critical for ranking and our platform is hands down the fastest. Listing your website on as many additional services as possible will also help expose you to many more people than other methods. Do these things in concert, correctly, and your business will grow. Our websites can rank organically with zero add-ons, zero plug-ins, zero trickery and zero paid advertising and they do it quickly. This allows you to take the maximum of online orders from the available pool and increase your income stream quickly.
4. Efficient Usage Of Your Available Kitchen Space
Eliminate the downtime between the "rushes". A silent kitchen between Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or the "let out" can not produce income since it is not being used during those "off peak" hours. Online ordering can be 24/7 if you allow it. Online orders help to ensure your kitchen maintains efficiency by being used to serve the mass of people who eat on their own schedule and not just during your classic open or peak hours. Your kitchen can feed those consumers with the help of your website which delivers orders to you via email, text and notifications to any device you choose.
5. Testing New Concepts + New Menu Items
New concepts and the accompanying new menu items are less of a problem when there is not an entire front of the house theme to change in order to meet the perceptions and needs of a different clientele. Those headaches are greatly reduced with a virtual restaurant, website based concept, it's just a few tweaks to a new menu and some visual changes on the site then you are off on another concept with new cuisine and perhaps a completely different set of customers. Our service allows rapid changes with minimum expenditures of time or money.
