Delivery was once a novelty offering limited to pizza shops and Chinese takeout joints. Then, in 2020, driven by safety concerns and a growing demand for convenience, there was a sudden surge in demand for restaurant delivery. Five years later, what started as a temporary fix has become woven into the permanent fabric of mainstream culinary service.
With the ability to essentially expand a dining room's footprint by 20 miles, building an off-premise restaurant operation can be a game changer.
From upscale sushi to trendy tacos, running a successful delivery operation requires tight operations, well-coordinated systems, and a well-trained crew. Whether you’re about to open a new business or just entering the food delivery space, getting started can seem a bit daunting.
To help you navigate the delivery journey, we’ve created a roadmap, the FREE 2025 Sauce Guide to Restaurant Delivery. From crafting a delivery strategy to optimizing an online menu, and from assembling a team to streamlining operations, this free downloadable e-book is filled with valuable insights, pertinent information, and expert guidance from seasoned pros.
