  &lt;p&gt;The restaurant and food service business is a highly competitive space where we see new businesses with newer business models popping up every day and the customers are simply spoilt for choices. Thanks to the faster lives with little time, higher disposable incomes, increasing smartphone and internet usage and newer eating habits promoted by globalization! The customer behaviors are so starkly different from what they were 3-4 years back with many preferring to get food delivered to where they are, rather than dining at the restaurant.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Challenges Faced By Restaurant And Food Service Businesses&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Restaurant and food service business today must tackle issues of aggressive competition, increasing clutter, fading brand loyalty, and the fast-changing business models. In this context, the bigger businesses with their far greater resources can leverage advertising and marketing as well as dedicated brand apps to break the clutter, make their brand voice heard and keep their large customer base intact.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Small and medium businesses, however, have frugal resources and find it difficult to keep up with the kind of marketing and advertising. Such businesses are often offline and despite having superior quality and taste, have limited reach. Additionally, they are heavily dependent on their brick-and-mortar business, traditional means of food ordering and delivery like phone or website and aggregator platforms that charge hefty commissions.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;We strongly believe that having a dedicated app for food ordering for your brand is essential to thrive and flourish in the competitive world of restaurant and food service.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are 4 undeniable reasons why.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enhanced Customer Experiences&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Well… Apps are fast-replacing mobile websites with fast evolving customer expectations. Customers don’t want arduous processes (for instance, going to a restaurant, picking up a phone or laptop to place an order, etc.) when apps can get their job done with only a few clicks, taps, and swipes.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;With the help of effective personalization, tailored content, frictionless and speedy processes, easy food ordering, automation, live support through conversational bots, rider tracking, customer feedback collection, etc., you can craft authentic, cohesive and elevated customer experiences, ensure better customer engagement and brand loyalty and even improve referrals.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Direct Access To Customers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Small and medium-sized offline food businesses with frugal resources tend to rely on aggregator platforms and third-party food portals to improve reach and sales. When they list on such platforms, they face a huge risk of losing customers to competitors owing to the clutter and noise in these platforms. With a dedicated brand app, you have direct access to your customers. You can craft micro-moments for customers with personalized recommendations, offers, discounts, coupons, updates, alerts, etc. to the customers in a non-obtrusive and instantaneous manner and enhance conversions and revenues.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Improved Analytics&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;High-quality, actionable insights on customers/ target audience = Prosperity. Brand apps empower you with deep analytics about customers/ target audiences, their behavior, and patterns, needs, context, etc. By leveraging these insights, you can target and forecast better, personalize effectively and deliver better customer experiences.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost-Effectiveness&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;You can reduce costs on marketing and advertising by reaching larger audiences with a dedicated brand app. By integrating social media with your app, you can enable customers to talk about your brand and in turn, improve your organic reach.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“We are a small, local food joint, we don’t have the wherewithal to own a Brand App.” &lt;/em&gt;Or do you?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;One of the biggest myths is that dedicated brand apps and fully owned digital properties are feasible only for larger businesses capable of investing heavily in developing and maintaining such technology. With the emergence of subscription-based platforms like Uengage, restaurants (regardless of their size, scale, and nature) can build and maintain a dedicated food ordering app for their business in a highly cost-effective and hassle-free manner. We do not charge hefty commissions like aggregator platforms and third-party food portals. So, all your sales and profits belong to you.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586157864.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Not just that, with subscription-based platforms like Uengage, you have an entire team of tech experts who are working on the technology aspects of your brand app enabling you to focus what matters most – your core business, food quality, flavor, kitchen management, safety and so on.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Build a dedicated brand app for your restaurant/ food service business today and gain a strategic edge to stay ahead of your competition.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;With the pandemic outbreak of Coronavirus in more than 150 countries and territories, it is now not only a public health crisis but an economic one as well. Due to enforced social distancing, stay at home, lockdown, and curfews, how can a restaurant survive? Thus, it becomes very important for every restaurant to have a survival strategy when the world economy is hit hard.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586327297.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The only chance to be still in operation on the other side of this catastrophe is to adapt. Yes, to survive restaurants need to ADAPT. This downturn does not differentiate scale, big or small, every restaurant will need to adapt. And how can you adapt and survive this downward spiral? The answer is by pivoting to a delivery business.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;So, if you also are a restaurant owner who is worried about the current situation. It is time to switch to a profitable delivery business which is the future. We know it is easier said than done. But here are 5 steps that can help you in this transformation.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Address Your Staff&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586175237.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Reassure them that you are doing your best to support them. Make them understand that their roles may change but you will do everything to be in the business. Share your visions and plans with them so they are all on-board.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Change The Roles and Responsibilities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586175246.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;If you don&amp;#x27;t have walk-in customers, you can change the roles of a server into a delivery role, or the cashier can manage all the online orders. Based on their skill set, you can discuss with them how they can perform the newly assigned role and what they would need to do. If they have any apprehensions, you can always explain to them how it would benefit them.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Safety Of The Staff&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;During this pandemic outbreak, take all the preventive measures to ensure the wellbeing and safety of your staff. You must provide your staff with sanitizers, handwash, masks, gloves, caps. The kitchen staff should wash their hands every hour and staff out for delivery should be aware of zero contact safe deliveries.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reduce 3rd Party Commission&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Food ordering apps like Zomato &amp;amp; Swiiggy charge extremely high commissions on each order. This means you have to share your profits with the 3rd party food aggregators. So, it is always a good idea to have your own customized mobile app that will let your customers order food online.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Have Your Own Brand App &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Offering a subscription-based model, platforms like Uengage can develop your own customized brand app within 48 hours. Yes, up and ready!! You don&amp;#x27;t have to pay any hefty commissions to the 3rd party aggregators or enormously high software development cost to age-old IT services company. So, all your sales and profits belong to you.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;So, what are you thinking? Speak to your staff, get your brand app and save your business at the earliest.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For Customers/ Citizens:&lt;/strong&gt; Daily Needs Ordering App Embedded in Punjab Govt Cova App&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For District Administration:&lt;/strong&gt; Onboarding and Management Dashboard&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For Shops:&lt;/strong&gt; Order Management and Catalogue Management Dashboard&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For Delivery Rider:&lt;/strong&gt; Rider App for order Tracking (android only)&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For Shops&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Download &amp;amp; Register -&lt;/strong&gt; Shops have to download Cova Punjab Android/IOS App and register as authorized shop by filling all required fields such as Business Details, Essentials Categories, and Rider Details.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manage Operations -&lt;/strong&gt; Once the shop is approved by District Administration, the shop can login to Uengage dashboard to manage operations such as accepting and rejecting online orders, add menu items or mark out of stock, manage rider details and status, access customers data and more.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manage and Track Riders -&lt;/strong&gt; Shop can add/manage riders from the backend dashboard and can allocate multiple orders to the same rider. The shop can also view/track rider location via real-time GPS tracking from the Dashboard. In case the rider is disabled or removed, the rider will be forced logout from the app to ensure security.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Approve/ Reject Application -&lt;/strong&gt; District Administration can view all submitted forms in their respective logins and can reject/approve the application.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Create Store -&lt;/strong&gt; Further, the approved application will create the store in the system and send login details to shop owners over SMS.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Add Address -&lt;/strong&gt; After adding the items in cart, the app would auto-select the added address or last used address and will calculate delivery charges through automatic distance calculation for delivery radius.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cart Flow -&lt;/strong&gt; A list of promo codes if applicable would be visible on the cart screen. There would also be a special instructions box on the same screen, in case someone wants to make a delivery time request or any other request.

  &lt;p&gt;Mobile apps are fast overtaking websites as a means for raising greater revenues and profits in aggressively competitive spaces such as restaurants and food service. Mobile apps are being adopted by a fast-growing number of customers, especially in food ordering/ delivery space, because&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;It is easy to use and navigate – a few clicks, taps and swipes will do the job&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;It is portable and mobile – orders can be placed from anywhere, at any time and for anyone by the customer&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;It offers comfort – Menus, offers, etc. are at the customers’ fingertips, several payment options exist and the food gets delivered at their doorstep without the hassle of interaction, miscommunications, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586327709.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;When small/ medium/ local offline food service/ restaurant businesses develop and maintain a dedicated brand app, instead of depending on purely offline business/ mobile and telephone for orders/ aggregator platforms and third-party portals, they stand to gain a wider reach in a cost-effective manner and direct access to customers without having to worry about losing potential orders to competitors. (For detailed insights on why having a dedicated brand app is a must, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.uengage.in/spotlight/benefits-of-brand-app&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;check this previous blog&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Effective strategies for building a dedicated brand app for your restaurant/ food service business&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#1 Focus On Creating Value&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Before building the brand app for your restaurant/ food service business, you must assess what are the pain points for customers and core challenges for you that you are looking to solve using the app. For instance, is it a single platform to take pre-orders, make reservations, order food, get offers, etc.? Do you lose customers to competitors on aggregator platforms? Are you seeking faster ordering and delivery and expanding your customer base? Are you looking to amplify your brand voice? Once you have clarity on pain points and core challenges, strategize on how to address these and create greater value for the customers and your business.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The mobile app is a powerful tool to help build trust and relationships with the customers and nurture customer loyalty. Annoying notifications, junk, irrelevant content/ notifications/ offers, etc. will only make the customer uninstall and block your app. So, ensure that your app is creating great value for the customer. Provide only relevant and customized push notifications, engaging content and compelling offers to prod them to come back for more.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;#2 &lt;/em&gt;Remember That Customer Experiences Can Make Or Break Your App&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Focus on crafting unique, seamless and cohesive customer experiences through the app. Customization, automation, integrated and speedy processes, live support through conversational bots, rider tracking, customer feedback collection, etc. are indispensable components to include.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#3 Focus On Functionality And Ease-of-use&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586327731.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;While it is tempting to concentrate on elaborate designs and colors, the functionality and ease-of-use are most important. Some points to keep in mind:&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Focus on creating user-friendly, hassle-free and easy-to-navigate User Interface (UI).&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Keep the designs clean, crisp and non-distracting.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Integrate filters but not too many. Remember that the idea is to make the choice easier for the customer, not hard. Include filters such as location (if you have multiple locations), price, course classification (starters, main, rice, bread, dessert, signature dishes, etc.), meat/veg, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Include mouth-watering photos of your dishes. Try to include simple descriptions of the dishes.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#5 Some Features That You Cannot Miss&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586327738.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Live order tracking and customer support are a must.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Integrate your loyalty rewards and referral programs into your app.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Integrate easy payment options including a secure payment gateway.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Let your app reflect your unique brand voice.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Simple customer feedback forms&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Collecting performance analytics is a must&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Integrate social media platforms on the app and coax customers to post on their social media to give you organic reach.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#6 Ensure You Get The Best ROI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;With subscription-based platforms like Uengage, it is feasible and cost-effective for small and medium businesses to build, operate and maintain their own dedicated app for food ordering. You save on hefty commissions that third-party portals and aggregator platforms charge, you get direct access to customers and maximize your reach, sales and profits. You also save immensely on having an in-house tech team as platforms like Uengage have an entire team of tech experts working on the technology part of the app while you can focus on your core business.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Making an app successful demands meticulous planning, market research and analysis, hand-holding during development phase (especially for non-tech entrepreneurs) and well thought out diffusion strategy. Uengage knows what it takes to make an app as close to perfect as possible!&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;It is a known fact that 3rd party food ordering apps like Zomato, Swiggy &amp;amp; Uber Eats have become the first choice of people looking to order food online. And while these 3rd party apps are a good platform for gaining exposure to new groups of audiences, but they also have 2 major disadvantages. One, extremely high commissions and the second one poor customer retention.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586329140.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;High Commissions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;One of the most significant disadvantages of working with 3rd party food aggregators is the high margin that it takes from individual restaurants per order. These 3rd party apps charges anywhere between 10%-35%* of each order depending on the service provided and the area and hence is difficult for the restaurants to do the business. These 3rd party apps might give you more visibility and a good volume of orders, but what matters at the end of the day is - REVENUE.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586329203.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Poor Customer Retention&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Since there is an endless variety to choose from, customers ordering from 3rd party apps will not actively look forward to ordering with the same restaurant again. So, 3rd party aggregators do little in the way of customer retention.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586329189.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;A restaurant cannot possibly earn back the investment they made in acquiring a customer with just one order. It will at least take a few orders from a single customer before they recoup the original marketing expense that made the customer order.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Even though, restaurants have been giving out huge discounts on 3rd party platforms in the hope that it will encourage new customers to try out the food and expecting that a good percent of them will come back and convert into regulars. But will any restaurant be willing to have their entire customer base to come out of 3rd party apps? Not in their wildest dreams.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586329168.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;And, while more discounts are offered by the restaurants, there is no bearing on the reduction of commissions. The visibility is the barter offered by aggregators to provide more visibility and in turn generate more orders.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get Your Own Customized App&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;While having a presence on such 3rd party online food ordering platforms helps you increase your reach, it is always good to have your own mobile app that will let your customers order food online. Know why?&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586329299.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;1.) You don&amp;#x27;t have to share profits or pay any commission to 3rd party food aggregators. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;2.) You can give a discount on the first order varying from 10–15% to motivate your customers to try your app.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;3.) You can come up with app-only specials exclusive for your app customers. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;4.) All the customer data is captured while ordering from your brand app. Thus, you can market directly to them. You can reach out to the customer directly on their birthdays &amp;amp; anniversaries or send them push-notifications regarding festival offers. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586329338.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Of course, a restaurant cannot expect business from day one on the app. Building the audience on the app is a slow and steady process, but it’s worth every minute of your time in the long run.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Uengage develops android and iOS apps for restaurants, such that you can build your brand and increase customer retention. With no percentage commissions, you can save 1000s of rupees each month by converting 3rd party app customers to your mobile app customers.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;We live in a world that is so fast-paced and most of the time we are so caught up that we prefer doing everything, even completing our daily chores online. Thankfully, with a dramatic growth of internet usage and e-commerce in the last few years, mobile apps are available for each and every industry including food, clothes, shoes, baby products, beauty, skincare, cosmetics, medicines, and even grocery items. Yes, online grocery delivery is not an exceptional one.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586594193.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Grocery apps are boon for everyone, making their life luxurious and easy than ever before. By using various grocery delivery apps one can easily have all the things delivered at their home without spending hours at the shopping marts.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Though online grocery delivery is an underpenetrated segment but it is also the fastest-growing online category. And, while many popular retail corporations like Amazon Pantry, BigBasket, Grofers are expanding their grocery delivery across cities, local shops and retailers are also leaving no stone unturned to go online and create their own virtual grocery delivery market. There are various features that contribute to the success of an online grocery shopping app. So, if you have decided to have your own grocery delivery app, make sure you have the below-mentioned features for the best customer experience.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Easy registration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Registration feature is critical since this is the first time the customer interacts with your brand online. So, make the registration feature simple, smooth, easy and user-friendly. Fortunately, we are living in a social media-dominated world, so, to simplify the sign-up process, you can include an option for registration via social media accounts. Other options can be through email id and mobile number. Remember, the quicker and easier it is for the user to register to your app, the quicker they can get to placing the order.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upload Grocery List&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;If you are offering your customers the convenience to order and get things delivered at their doorstep, you have to provide them with ease of everything. By adding a nifty little feature that allows customers to upload their own shopping list will not only significantly simplify the shopping experience, but would also distinguish your app making it more popular.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Easy To Use Cart&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Make it easier to add products to the cart so that the customer doesn’t lose interest in shopping or end up wasting their time. Adding an ‘add to cart’ feature not only allows customers to add products to their carts instantly but also extends the shopping experience and allowing them to add more items to their purchase. They are indirectly encouraged to browse more products with one-click add to cart functionality. Your app should also provide all the necessary information needed for the user during the check out process on the cart screen itself.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Text-Based List Of Items&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Your app should be easy to use and intuitive. Adding a feature like a text-based list of items allows users to easily add products to their lists using text. This helps save time and create a list even quicker, whilst doing something like traveling in a cab, or waiting at the salon. This also allows customers to take their grocery list wherever they go — no pen or paper required.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real-Time Tracking&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The real-time tracking is a must-have feature in the grocery app. With the real-time tracking feature, the customers will know the whereabouts of their orders and the estimated arrival time of delivery. Using this functionality, customers can easily take follow-ups and track their orders from the time it is placed to all the way at their door. This also builds the trust of customers upon your brand and ensures the return of regular customers.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Considering the potential of the delivery-only segment, we have explained how a cloud kitchen works, its business model, advantages, disadvantages &amp;amp; other factors to take into consideration&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Is A Cloud Kitchen?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;A cloud kitchen is a concept of delivery only restaurant with no physical space, no dine-in space or takeaway counter. It is a restaurant kitchen that accepts delivery only orders without a traditional restaurant or dining-in facility. Just an operational kitchen for the preparation of food that functions as a production unit. No fancy infrastructure, no waiters, no tables, no furniture, nothing at all. Customers can place their orders online through the online food aggregator apps or the restaurant app, hence, the name cloud kitchen. These kitchens are sometimes also known as ghost kitchens, dark kitchens or virtual kitchens.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Are Different Cloud Kitchen Business Models?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;All cloud kitchens have the same operational process, wherein an order is received, food is prepared and delivered at the customer&amp;#x27;s doorstep. However, there is a difference in the way their operations are executed. There are different business models for these delivery-only restaurants.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Standalone Cloud Kitchen - &lt;/strong&gt;These are the independent kitchens where one brand owns or rents a single kitchen location without offering a dining space. These restaurants generally focus on a single type of cuisine and rely on different food aggregators or delivery channels.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Multi-brand Cloud kitchen - &lt;/strong&gt;In this business model, multiple brands under one parent company share one kitchen, keeping operational costs down. Every brand/restaurant is cuisine specific and caters to different customer needs sharing large kitchen space, under one roof.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Commissary (Aggregator) Kitchen - &lt;/strong&gt;Leveraging on the robust online delivery market, many delivery aggregators have kicked off their own cloud kitchen models, offering empty kitchen space and minimal infrastructure that restaurant businesses can rent. Restaurants can use these fully stacked or a shell kitchen depending upon their requirement on a shared basis. So basically, many small kitchens can operate within one larger kitchen space, with multiple restaurant brands cooking at any given moment.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586948099.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Outsourced Cloud Kitchen - &lt;/strong&gt;As the name suggests, this model allows a restaurant to outsource almost any - or every - process, except the finishing touches. The chef provides the final touch before the food goes out for the delivery. Rest all the operations, from food preparation to customer-facing operations, are outsourced.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Co-Working Cloud Kitchen &lt;/strong&gt;- A co-working cloud kitchen is a large kitchen infrastructure, which multiple restaurant brands can rent and run operations from. These kitchen spaces are located at strategic locations and have individual kitchen units for each brand, fitted with the necessary equipment and utilities.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Advantages of Cloud Kitchen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Cloud kitchens offer the following advantages over traditional restaurants&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Low Operational Costs &lt;/strong&gt;- For a cloud kitchen, a lot of the operating costs incurred by traditional restaurants are done away with. Be it infrastructure costs, overheads cost, logistics cost, etc., cloud kitchens theoretically incur lower costs and have an edge over the brick and mortar restaurant.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No Investment Business - &lt;/strong&gt;A cloud kitchen can be designed to be a very lean operation - with less staff and infrastructure, enabling for a low-risk venture. The initial investment required for starting a cloud kitchen is quite less as compared to a brick-and-mortar restaurant.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586948125.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lesser Human Resources Required - &lt;/strong&gt;Since you don’t need a restaurant at a prime location or hire staff to serve customers, it takes only one-third of the time and resources to open a cloud kitchen as compared to a traditional dine-in restaurant.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;High-Profit Venture&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;- &lt;/strong&gt;It is possible to start a cloud kitchen with less staff, minimal kitchen equipment, no furniture cost, no décor cost. Thus, it gives restaurant operators the flexibility to experiment, cut down on the overheads, and quickly reach operating breakeven making it a profitable venture.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Easy Expansion - &lt;/strong&gt;As the operation is just limited to a kitchen, the total Capex cost is much lower than a full-fledged restaurant. Restaurants can leverage the scale of cloud kitchens to test new geographies and consumer adoption without investing in infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Disadvantages of Cloud Kitchen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Cloud kitchens have their share of a disadvantage as well.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Building Brand - &lt;/strong&gt;Since it’s an online-only venture with limited customer interaction, cloud kitchens might find it difficult to build their brand at first. With no physical location, cloud kitchens are competing exclusively in a crowded online marketplace. Customers are less likely to become regular and won’t be able to connect with a particular restaurant brand because they are ordering from a third-party app with various restaurants listed.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;figure class=&quot;m_original&quot;&gt;
    &lt;img src=&quot;https://static.uengage.in/uploads/1/image-1586948144.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/figure&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dependence On Food Aggregators - &lt;/strong&gt;Unless a restaurant has its own delivery app, the access to the customers is through third party food aggregators like Zomato and Swiggy. These aggregators charge between 15% and 35% to restaurants as commission. Ideally, the restaurant doesn’t mind the commission due to the order volumes generated by these services. But is worried about the impact high commissions can have on their business in the long term.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Masked Customer Data - &lt;/strong&gt;Dealing with third party food aggregators would leave the restaurant with no customer data of their own. The restaurant would be provided masked customer data, which means they would not know who their customers are. This impacts sales in the longer run, as there would be minimal customer retention.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Business Growth Of A Cloud Kitchen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;With increased internet penetration and the age of millennials with disposable income demanding digital, mobile-friendly solutions, the trend of virtual restaurants (delivery-only brands) has lately garnered attention. Cloud Kitchens have evolved the traditional restaurant industry, just like meatless burgers have. And, this is more likely to grow with the next generation, who has grown-up with the internet and smartphones, entering the marketplace, advances in kitchen automation, drone delivery.
