Zero Commission Online Ordering
You can reduce your Seamless fees starting today
How are you feeling about your giving away your profits? If not happy, it’s time to lower your costs from Seamless. You can reduce your online ordering fees instantly with RestApp’s Seamless alternative online ordering system.
Taking online orders from Seamless generates new customers but it also costs you big commissions for each order. Seamless fees are anywhere from ~ 15% up to ~ 30% per order. Most of Seamless or any other marketplace orders are coming from your current loyal customers, so you are burning 15% to 30% of your money for your existing customers.
Keep your customers
If you let your customers place their orders over Seamless, you can easily lose them, your customers will also see your competitors on same page, and they can change their minds and place their orders to your competitors on 3rd party food ordering marketplaces like Seamless. So you have to create your own online ordering website and apps to keep your own customers.
Your own online ordering platform
Instead of Seamless, RestApp creates your own website, online ordering platform with your own domain name and your own brand without any commissions.
You can create your own online ordering system in minutes, and start taking orders today.

Why my own online ordering system instead of Seamless or other Seamless competitors?
Customers tend to order directly from you instead of using other platforms like Seamless if you give them a reason.
Using online ordering platforms like Seamless? Yes, you are gaining new orders and new customers, but you are also losing a lot of commission fees and your business is listed with many other competitors in same page.
Stop losing money from orders of your own customers. You need a Seamless alternative like RestApp to give your customers a reason for ordering directly from your website or apps. Offer your customers promotions and rewards with your own online ordering platform, so they won’t give any more orders from other platforms. Gain new customers from your area with RestApp’s great marketing tools.
The catch with Seamless
Seamless rents you your own customers
Seamless is a Grubhub-owned marketplace, so orders run through the Seamless app where diners see your competitors right next to you and the platform owns the customer relationship. Commissions of roughly 15%-30% per delivery order, plus payment processing and optional pay-to-rank Sponsored Listings, mean the real cost of an order often climbs to 30%-40%. Even loyal regulars who would have ordered from you anyway cost you a cut, and Seamless controls the customer data rather than handing it to you.
The cost of Seamless
Seamless, owned by Grubhub, charges restaurants roughly 15%-30% commission on delivery orders (about 10%-15% on pickup), plus payment processing of approximately 3.05% + $0.30 per order and optional pay-to-rank Sponsored Listings and promotions on top.

Questions & Answers
How much commission does Seamless take from restaurants? +
Seamless, which is owned by Grubhub, charges roughly 15%-30% commission on delivery orders and about 10%-15% on pickup, depending on the plan. On top of that there is payment processing of around 3.05% + $0.30 per order, plus optional Sponsored Listings (commonly +3%-10%) and promotions, so the effective cost of an order often reaches 30%-40%. RestApp charges 0% commission on orders through your own site and apps - you pay a simple flat monthly plan instead.
With Seamless, do I own my customer data and the relationship? +
No. On the Seamless marketplace the customer belongs to the platform, not to your restaurant. Diners order inside the Seamless app, where they also see your competitors, and Seamless controls the customer data and can market other restaurants to your guests. With RestApp, orders come through your own branded website and iOS/Android apps, so you own your customer data and have a direct relationship with every diner.
Does Seamless give me my own branded website and app, or a POS? +
The core Seamless product is a marketplace listing, not a branded ordering channel of your own, and it has no built-in EPOS, QR/e-menu dine-in ordering, or loyalty program beyond marketplace promotions. (Grubhub does sell a separate add-on product, Grubhub Direct, for branded ordering.) RestApp includes your own branded website and mobile apps, a full cloud EPOS, e-menu/QR table ordering, and loyalty in one platform.
Is it hard to switch from Seamless to RestApp? +
No. You can keep your Seamless listing running while you launch your own RestApp ordering site and apps, then shift your loyal, repeat customers to your commission-free channel where each order costs you 0% instead of 15%-30%. RestApp helps you set up your menu, branding, EPOS, and loyalty, with 24/7 support throughout.
