Business Idea: A lightweight, turnkey ordering platform enabling restaurants to manage pickup orders directly through custom websites, reducing reliance on third-party delivery apps and enhancing customer control.
Problem: Many restaurants depend heavily on third-party delivery services like Glovo and Uber, which can lead to high fees, less customer data, and limited control over orders. They struggle to offer seamless, affordable online ordering solutions tailored to their brand.
Solution: Develop a simple, fast-to-build SaaS that creates custom restaurant websites linked to an intuitive admin panel and a Telegram-based management interface. It enables restaurants to handle pickup orders independently, boosting revenue and customer engagement.
Target Audience: Small to medium-sized restaurant owners seeking cost-effective, easy-to-implement online ordering systems, especially those aiming to reduce delivery platform dependency.
Monetization: Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) through subscription plans, initially around $260/month per client, with potential for tiered features and add-ons as the platform grows.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Rapid deployment within a week, minimal setup with SEO-driven traffic, and a centralized management system via Telegram and admin panel—offering affordability, simplicity, and direct restaurant control.
Launch Strategy: Start with a single local restaurant to validate the product, optimize onboarding, and gather feedback. Use SEO to attract more clients, leveraging early success stories to grow organically. Provide easy-to-use tools for merchants to create their sites quickly and manage orders efficiently.
