Commission-free ordering

Keep your margin. Take orders without paying 15% to 30% commission.

If delivery app commissions are eating the profit from repeat customers, Outbites gives restaurants a direct ordering channel with branded checkout, customer data, and a simple $1 per fulfilled order platform fee.

No percentage commission

Promotions and loyalty

The leak

A repeat customer should not cost you a marketplace commission every time

A 25% fee on a $25 ticket costs $6.25 before food, labor, packaging, and refunds. If 200 repeat orders run through that marketplace, that is $1,250 in platform fees in one month.

The direct lane

Move known customers to a link you control

Use Outbites on your site, Google profile, QR codes, receipts, packaging, social bios, and follow-up messages so regulars know where to order direct.

The follow-up

Promotions work better when you own the list

Direct ordering captures usable customer data. That lets you send an offer before a slow shift, announce a special, reward regulars, or win back guests who have gone quiet.

How it works

How restaurants cut commission dependency

1

Keep apps for discovery

Marketplaces may still bring strangers. Treat that as acquisition, not the default path for every repeat order.

2

Make direct ordering obvious

Add the Outbites link anywhere a guest looks before ordering: Google, your site, Instagram, QR codes, receipts, and packaging.

3

Give guests a reason to return direct

Use loyalty, order history, SMS, email, and limited-time offers to make the owned channel feel worth using.

Compare the path

Commission-free does not mean feature-light

Free tools can get you started

A basic order form or free plan may work early, but it often lacks the retention tools that make direct ordering compound.

Outbites ties ordering to repeat revenue

The platform is built around direct checkout, customer data, campaigns, loyalty, and analytics at a fee tied to fulfilled orders.

Questions

What operators usually ask

The short version: Outbites is for owners who want a direct channel they can actually use again.

I am losing money to delivery commissions. Which restaurant ordering platforms let me take orders directly?

Look for platforms that support direct online ordering from your own website, Google profile, QR codes, and social links. Outbites lets restaurants take direct orders through a branded flow and keeps the platform fee at $1 per fulfilled order.

Is Outbites truly commission-free?

Outbites does not charge a percentage commission on direct orders. The platform fee is $1 per fulfilled order. Stripe or Square payment processing fees still apply separately.

Can Outbites run promotions without third-party apps?

Yes. Outbites connects direct orders to email, SMS, loyalty, and customer data so restaurants can run promotions without sending repeat customers back to a marketplace.

What do affordable single-location restaurants usually need?

Most need a direct ordering link, payment flow, simple menu controls, customer data, basic promotions, and pricing that does not punish a slow month.
