Hospitality-food delivery represents a grand opportunity for increased revenue from hotels, access to loyalty points programs among restaurateurs, and much more. While hospitality is generally regarded as an industry for travelers, it is essential to understand that it includes three critical areas, including traditional room service, food delivery from restaurants and even grocery delivery while traveling, explains Market Insider. Today's restaurateurs, hoteliers, and even grocers need to understand why outsourcing can improve operations and how to do it successfully.

Omnichannel is not a new concept, and its impact has been felt throughout the retail sphere. However, the ongoing demand for anything anywhere has begun in other industries, including hospitality and restaurants, says Hospitality Technology. These industries were once believed to be immune from omnichannel transformation. After all, how could a person really expect omnichannel capabilities from a dine-in establishment? Then, food delivery changed the game. UberEats, Grub Hub, Favor and DoorDash rose to power in the marketplace to satiate the demands of consumers that wanted more delivery options and to more places. Today’s restaurant operators need to understand the potential in omnichannel food ordering and how to stabilize it.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Peak-time restaurant operations are becoming more commonplace as the world moves toward omnichannel restaurant ordering. Omnichannel restaurant ordering refers to the ability of customers to order their favorite foods and products from any channel, including online, in-store, mobile apps, web-based browsers, third-party delivery service providers...

The debate over whether to use a branding mobile restaurant app or outsource online ordering exclusively to third-party apps has heated up in the last few months with Uber Eats now available at a whopping 9,000 of fast-food giant McDonald’s 14,000-plus U.S. locations and DoorDash receiving a new investment pushing the company's valuation over $12 Billon. Restaurants across the country strive for an ever-changing way to achieve lower operating costs and higher profitability. A branding mobile restaurant app offers this promise, but the rise of third-party delivery apps makes choosing the right path for online ordering more difficult. Restaurant operators need to carefully consider the differences between a branded digital ordering experience and third-party app to make the most strategic choice. 

The term, omnichannel, is at the center of the retail and manufacturing world. A company can provide a seamless customer experience that goes beyond a single-channel approach. Customers enjoy the benefits of visiting brick-and-mortar stores; they can order online and pick up in-store. Customers have the power to broaden or narrow their experience to their preference, and the same concept exists in restaurants. Unfortunately, businesses still face significant challenges for restaurants to go omnichannel, even as the number of online orders soars to 6.6% of total orders, reports PYMNTS.com. Understanding how to overcome these challenges will be crucial to success.
