- Provide exclusive menu items or sections, that can not be ordered anywhere else except from your website.
- Increase your prices on 3rd Party Aggregator platforms.
- Remove your “Best Sellers” and “Customer Favorite’s” from 3rd Party Aggregators.
- Provide Free Delivery through your website.
- Create a loyalty program exclusively available on your website.
- Remove some options from your menu items on your website. For example, do not offer a “Small or Medium” option, only a “Large” option, to get higher ticket items, and to persuade customers to use your website for the extra options.
- Do not “Market” 3rd Party Aggregators on your own marketing channels. You should be promoting your own brand at all times. That includes stickers, logos everything!
- Every order you receive from 3rd Party Aggregators, take the extra step, of placing a message in the delivery bag or even calling your customers, and letting them know you appreciate their business, and asking them if they could support you by ordering direct from your website.
- Provide Discount Voucher Codes that works only on your website along with every customer order from 3rd Party Aggregators. This will be to encourage them to use your platform on their next order.
- 3rd Party Aggregators are great at marketing. You need to step up your own marketing, but you should only be promoting the “unique benefits” of ordering through your website. Do not make your advertising generic.
