Customers are demanding delivery from various food and beverage spots, including restaurants, coffee shops, and juice bars. Per Diem and Doordash collaborated to make the delivery possible for your business via a customized mobile app.

The Benefits of Integrating Doordash With Per Diem

Integrating Doordash with your Per Diem mobile ordering system provides several key benefits for your business.

Increased Revenue and Customer Base

Studies show that over 70% of customers say delivery options influence which restaurants they choose to order from. Offering delivery through your mobile app allows you to tap into their existing customer base and gain exposure to new potential loyal customers.

Operational Efficiency

Managing your in-house delivery fleet requires resources and time to coordinate drivers, and routes, and ensure quality service. Doordash offloads the operational challenges of delivery and allows you to focus on your core business. Doordash’s team of experienced drivers and advanced dispatch technology handles getting your products to customers efficiently.

Cost Savings

In-house delivery requires investments in vehicles, fuel, insurance, and personnel to operate. By using Doordash, you avoid these costs and pay only a small per-order fee. For most businesses, this results in significant cost savings compared to building their delivery infrastructure. The fixed pricing model also provides predictable costs and helps streamline budgeting.
