GetYourMeal is an online community of restaurants which connects
Charlotte restaurants and local consumers.
Much more than a restaurant listing service, GetYourMeal provides fully interactive menus with online ordering for hundreds of Charlotte restaurants as well as relevant information about local dining and a community for users to share and enjoy.
The value of GetYourMeal is rooted in the dual functionality for both the restaurant and the consumer. This service is based on proven Internet business models such as eBay, Amazon, etc. in which a single website facilitates sellers and buyers.
Connects Charlotte restaurants with hungry consumers.
Connects local consumers with their favorite foods.
In today’s competitive marketplace, Internet or online marketing is as critical a part of any marketing plan as other traditional forms of marketing. It creates a live presence for your business that is available 24 hours a day that moves relationship-building with consumers beyond the confines of brick-and-mortar.
207 million Americans use the Internet and spend approximately $80 billion online, yet the restaurant industry is the last to get on board with online ordering.
Less than 10% of restaurants offer this service for their consumers. However, according to the Journal of Interactive Marketing, the average restaurant—within three years of adding the option of online ordering — experienced a 40% increase in sales.
Studies show +30% of causal diners already use the Internet to research restaurants or order online, and average online orders are 10-15% higher because of automatic up-selling—a consumer sees “add this” and they do. Studies by the National Restaurant Association show that online ordering participants spend an average of 18-20% more than phone-in orders.
