Contact your sales representative today!
FEATURES
As a GetYourMeal restaurant partner, you will provide basic information to be included on your restaurant page, and all pertinent information will be uploaded to the GetYourMeal database. A user name and password will then be provided so that you may log in and access your restaurant’s information at any time.  


Through a user-friendly online interface, you will have all the tools necessary to manage your restaurant’s online marketing efforts, such as creating combo meals, daily and weekly promotions and an online menu (including content, pricing, and pictures).  You will be able to view orders received via the website, as well as menu ratings provided by your customers. 


GetYourMeal allows you to offer your customer a fully interactive menu which enables them to customize their order (extra side item, no mayo, etc.).  Payments are processed online and a complete summary of the customer’s order is sent directly to your kitchen staff.  This saves your customer time at pick-up.  Your restaurant receives lump sum payments twice per month.


Adapting your restaurant to this online culture enables you to benefit from:

•    A constant, active online presence
Using proven Internet marketing techniques, GetYourMeal will drive the website and all participating restaurants to the top of search engines and make information about your restaurant available 24/7; however, ordering functionality will only be available during your pre-designated business hours.

•    On-going marketing via traditional and cutting-edge strategies
Through the implementation of a strategic 12-month Marketing Plan, GetYourMeal will target local apartment communities, business parks, and hotels in order to drive consumers to the site.   This means more business for your restaurant, and you only pay for the business you receive.

•    The ability to handle more business during peak hours
Online ordering will enable your restaurant to serve more consumers during peak business hours without sacrificing in-house resources or quality of service. 

•    Increased business during slow periods
Restaurants are able to schedule online promotions to increase traffic during typically slow points during the week or year. 

•    Opportunity for increased order size through oversell and sell-up options
Consumers making purchases online typically spend approximately 25% more per transaction.
 
•    Opportunity for increased customer frequency and satisfaction
Once your customers experience the ease of online ordering, they will return to GetYourMeal to order their favorite food from your restaurant again and again. 

•    The ability to reach more people and receive immediate consumer feedback
GetYourMeal is designed as an online community which allows users to interact and share information and opinions about their local dining experiences.  

SET-UP
GetYourMeal is your only transaction-based marketing channel. 
As a restaurant partner with GetYourMeal, your set-up includes:
•    Processing your signed Partnership Agreement and One-Year Service Agreement
•    Posting your menu online with pricing and pictures
•    Creation of your secure username and password to access your GetYourMeal account
•    Testing your preferred order-receipt method (fax, email, or website)

MONTHLY FEES
There are no recurring monthly fees.  You are only charged for completed orders.  Transaction based-fee is equal to 15% of pretax food price plus a .45 cent processing fee. 

REPORTING
Real-time reports are emailed weekly but available online via the GetYourMeal website at any time.  In addition to order items and quantities, reports will display geographical location of your customer, time of order, referral source, recent orders from same customers, etc.

PAYOUT AND TAXES
GetYourMeal will collect full payment for each order including food price, transaction fee, and tax amount.   Food price and tax amount will be transferred to your bank account on the 15th and 30th of every month.  We make direct payments to your bank account on time, on schedule.


Please note our transaction fee is based on the pretax sale price of your menu items.  Available reports will show separation of food price and tax amount.  Your restaurant is responsible for all tax payments (7.5% food & beverage tax + 1% county tax for NC per transaction).
 

 
MARKET RESEARCH

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.
