Implementing an online ordering service can be tricky and costly, and you still need to engage with your customers to ensure they keep coming back to your service.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>How do you do this and stay committed to your restaurant\u2019s values and goal?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>3 Ways To Boost Online Order Sales <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Develop Some Online Ordering Marketing Strategies <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Restaurants that offer online ordering see a rise in their revenue. According to GrubHub, there is a 30 percent increase in online ordering revenue for users. However, if you offer it and your customers don\u2019t know about it, then they\u2019re not going to use it. You\u2019ll need to implement some strategies to spread the word about your online ordering service. How do you do this?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Use In-Store Messaging \u2013<\/i><\/b> This means using chalkboard signs, menu inserts, window displays, etc. Anything that will get the word out to your customers that you now offer online ordering for their convenience.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Use Receipt Space<\/i><\/b> \u2013 Each time a customer pays for something, the receipt can be used for advertising space. Use it to add in a line that you offer online ordering. Why not even add in a coupon to it?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Offer Discounts For Online Ordering <\/i><\/b>\u2013 If your customers use your online ordering service, consider giving them a discount on their order to entice them to continue using the service.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Carry Out A Social Media Marketing Campaign <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Your orders may not be able to order by Tweet as of yet, but social media marketing is the new word of mouth marketing that can do your business real wonders or harm. So, make sure to use social media to spread the word about your online ordering service.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Facebook offers its Order Food option, making it easier for customers to order their food online.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Share online ordering promotions on your social media page.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Take and share pictures of your company, its staff and the food. If you have an online ordering menu that\u2019s different from the in-store one, be sure to take a picture of it and post it for consumers to see. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Change The Way Your Phone Works<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The idea is to get people acquainted with your online ordering service, why not change how your phone works. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">When a customer calls your message, you can record a message that promotes the online ordering service. It\u2019s the same principle idea of calling your doctor\u2019s office and getting the message of the location\u2019s hours and address. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Each takeout menu can include your phone number, but why not add your website to it along with it. This will help spur them to use the Internet to order their food rather than take phone calls. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Should You Use An Online Ordering Software For Your Restaurant?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">According to statistics, 34 percent of people pay up to $50 when they order their food online.
