LocalFood2Go was created in 2020 after talking with several local
independent restaurant owners. At the time, we were providing
online ordering and marketing services for about half a dozen
local restaurants.
During these conversations, restaurant owners began sharing the
various challenges they were facing during the pandemic and how it
was affecting their business. By and large, many turned to the big
delivery companies to keep their business afloat during their
pandemic. These companies provided a convenient online ordering
platform during the shutdowns.
These companies were causing frustration.
They often charged high commissions which were, in turn, passed on to
customers. Their delivery drivers were often unreliable. Customer
service issues were not handled locally but using phone banks that
were located outside of our area. By using them they realized that
they were allowing random delivery drivers to leave with not only
their food, but their reputation.
Many restaurants began asking us if there were alternative solutions
to the big delivery companies. We did some research and found there
were very few viable options. So we created a simple way to help our
local restaurant owners break free of their reliance on delivery.
After carefully studying the marketplace we returned to the
restaurants and proposed the idea of a “Community Based Restaurant
Network” which would support both local businesses by providing them
an easy to use online platform at no cost. We would also provide them
with a free online ordering menu that could be embedded directly on
their website (if they had one) or we would build one for them. Again,
at no cost. We would help them get more orders from Facebook, Google,
and other social media platforms. Every single one said they would be
willing to join the network.
Today, many more restaurants are joining together to take back control
of not only their online ordering and delivery business but also to
expand their digital footprint. They realize that by joining our
network they will have the opportunity to regain control of their
online presence and grow their business.
Being part of the LocalFood2Go Network provides maximum value for local independent restaurants at a minimum cost to you and reducing the fees paid by their customers. Working together, we strategically grow your digital footprint.and help you take more orders from your own website, Facebook page, Google and other platforms.
Localfood2Go is not a traditional delivery service. However, we do help restaurants that would like to take control of their delivery. One of our goals is to help restaurants reclaim this vital part of their business by providing them with a dedicated or shared food runner at no cost to them. We do all of the necessary background checks, insure the runner while they are transporting the food, and provide the runners with cutting edge driver software. You are always in control of who is delivering your food. We provide all of this without charging high commissions which cause menu markups for your customers
We promote network members through our social media, the LocalFood2Go online directory, SMS and Text marketing and other platforms that reach thousands of people locally. All at no cost to the restaurant. We typically see 2 to 3 Times more orders coming in when a location is set up properly and promotes their OWN online ordering platform.
