Managing a restaurant brand across multiple locations is a sign of growth — but also a recipe for complexity.
Menus vary. Promotions get missed. Deliveries are inconsistent. Data is scattered.
The more you expand, the harder it gets to keep everything under control.
But there’s a shift happening.
Smart chains are adopting unified ordering systems that centralize operations, increase margins, and put them back in the driver’s seat.
Most restaurant chains still rely on a mix of disconnected tools:
POS in-store
Delivery via third-party apps
Separate backends for each location
Spreadsheets for reporting
Multiple support teams and vendors
It works... until it doesn’t
Here’s what that setup really costs:
| Challenge | Impact |
|---|---|
| Disconnected menus | Wrong items, inconsistent pricing |
| Manual updates per location | Hours of repetitive work weekly |
| Third-party delivery apps | 20–30% commission per order |
| No centralized dashboard | Blind spots in data, poor forecasting |
| Fragmented customer data | No unified CRM or marketing automation |
If your team is constantly putting out fires, reacting instead of scaling — your system is the problem, not your growth.
A unified ordering system centralizes the tools you need to run a multi-location brand under one platform.
With a system like Ordering.co, you get:
One dashboard to manage every store
A centralized restaurant system
Your own delivery platform
Full control over menus, pricing, and promotions
Ownership of your customer data and experience
And yes — you can still offer delivery. But now, it’s your delivery, under your brand, with your margins.
Most restaurant chains get trapped by delivery apps.
At first, it feels like easy exposure. But the tradeoff is painful:
20–30% in commissions per order
Zero access to customer data
No brand control
Algorithmic dependence
You’re not building a loyal customer base — you're building theirs.
Switching to your own delivery system changes the game.
You control the experience. You set the terms. You keep the profits.
Let’s break it down:
✅ One restaurant system
No more managing 5 different tools across 10 stores.
One login. One backend. Real-time control.
✅ One delivery platform
Your own delivery flow — branded, optimized, and commission-free.
✅ Your platform marketplace
Customers order directly from you, not a third-party app.
✅ Real-time reporting across locations
See sales, order volumes, popular items, and staff performance in one place.
✅ Custom workflows by location
Need different menus or delivery areas per store? No problem.
🚀 Why Smart Restaurant Chains Are Switching Now
In the past, only massive franchises could afford custom-built ordering systems.
But platforms like Ordering.co now offer this same level of control and customization — without the dev cost.
Even better? You can launch in days, not months.
The result:
Fewer systems, more clarity
Fewer vendors, lower costs
More ownership, more growth
