More Profits, Stronger Loyalty:
Why Exclusive Restaurants Choose CravinGrub Over National Delivery Apps
In today’s food delivery world, partnering with the right platform can mean the difference between a thriving restaurant and one barely breaking even. With national apps promising more visibility and faster delivery, it’s easy to feel like you have to be everywhere to compete.
But here’s the truth: being on every app often means sacrificing your profits and your customer relationships. That’s why more local restaurants are choosing to go exclusive with CravinGrub, a platform that’s built for your bottom line, not theirs.
If you're a restaurant owner looking to maximize your margins and build a loyal customer base, here’s why staying exclusive to CravinGrub is a smarter long-term move than being listed on DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub.
Let’s talk numbers.
Most national delivery platforms take 25–30% commission on every order. That means for every $30 order, you might be left with only $21—before paying staff, food costs, rent, and marketing fees. And it doesn’t stop there:
The result? Even when you’re getting orders, your profit margins shrink. High-volume traffic might look good on paper, but if you’re earning less per order, you’re working harder for fewer returns.
CravinGrub is designed differently. We believe that delivery should help you grow—not cut into your revenue.
This means when a customer places an order through CravinGrub, you’re not splitting the profit—you’re retaining it.
So, if you’re tired of working twice as hard for half the profit, it might be time to rethink the value of exclusivity.
Here’s something most restaurants overlook: when customers order through national delivery apps, they’re loyal to the app, not your restaurant.
Even worse, if your food arrives late or cold due to driver issues, the blame still falls on you—not the app.
CravinGrub flips the script by putting you in full control of your customer relationship:
By encouraging direct ordering, CravinGrub helps you turn one-time customers into repeat regulars who connect with your brand—not just the transaction.
When restaurants go exclusive with CravinGrub, they’re not just saving on fees—they’re gaining a competitive edge.
Exclusive partners benefit from:
By focusing on one platform that aligns with your goals, you avoid platform clutter, simplify your delivery strategy, and strengthen your brand.
Think of it this way: would you rather be one of a thousand restaurants competing for attention—or one of a few being directly supported by a platform that puts your business first?
Imagine two identical restaurants. Both serve amazing tacos. One is listed on five national delivery apps, competing with dozens of others, paying 25% per order, and never speaking directly to customers.
The other partners exclusively with CravinGrub, keeps 100% of their revenue, markets directly to repeat customers, and creates a delivery experience that’s uniquely branded.
Who do you think will still be growing in five years?
National delivery apps deliver volume. But CravinGrub delivers value.

The Profit Problem with National Delivery Apps
Let’s talk numbers.
Most national delivery platforms take 25–30% commission on every order. That means for every $30 order, you might be left with only $21—before paying staff, food costs, rent, and marketing fees. And it doesn’t stop there:
- “Marketing boosts” and featured placements come at an additional cost.
- Delivery fees may be passed to the customer, but the restaurant still absorbs most promotions.
- These platforms discount your menu or charge more to customers without your permission.
The result? Even when you’re getting orders, your profit margins shrink. High-volume traffic might look good on paper, but if you’re earning less per order, you’re working harder for fewer returns.

Why Big Apps Hurt Customer Loyalty (and Your Brand)
Here’s something most restaurants overlook: when customers order through national delivery apps, they’re loyal to the app, not your restaurant.- The app owns the customer relationship—you don’t get their email, preferences, or any way to market to them directly.
- Your restaurant is listed side-by-side with competitors, often including “suggested alternatives” before checkout.
- The brand experience is generic. Many customers don’t even realize which restaurant they ordered from—they just remember the app.
Even worse, if your food arrives late or cold due to driver issues, the blame still falls on you—not the app.
