Can I use my own delivery drivers?

Yes — you can use your own drivers or connect to a trusted local delivery partner. We’ll help set up the best workflow for your team.

How do customers place orders?

Through your Savvory‑built website, branded mobile app, Facebook page, Google Business Profile, and QR codes on menus, table tents, stickers, mailers, and more.

How much can I save compared to third‑party apps?

Many partners save $44,000+ per year by avoiding 20–30% commissions. Your loyal customers order direct, and you keep the margin.

Will it match my brand?

Yes — we custom‑build your ordering site to match your brand, so guests see your logo, colors, and menu — not a marketplace ad.

How do I receive orders in‑store?

We provide a tablet and printer so orders are reliable and easy to manage on the line — no extra hardware shopping.

Does Savvory integrate with my POS?

Most partners run Savvory alongside their POS with kitchen tickets and order summaries. Direct POS integrations are added over time — tell us your POS and we’ll confirm current options and the best workflow.

How long does setup take?

Most restaurants go live in just a few days once we have your menu and branding. We handle the heavy lifting for you.

Branded Mobile App – FAQ

Everything you need to know about your restaurant’s branded iOS & Android ordering app.

Your restaurant gets its own branded app in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. It features your logo and background image, and lets customers place orders directly using your Savvory-powered menu.

Yes. Branding assets (logo, background) can be updated later. Each change requires the app to be re-built and re-submitted to both stores. Because reviews take time, we suggest bundling multiple changes together.

Does the system need time to publish the app?

Yes. Your logo and background are processed manually, then the app is submitted for review:

  • Apple App Store: typically 2–5 days.
  • Google Play: usually a few hours.

Yes. After approval, your app will be publicly available and searchable for download in both stores under your restaurant’s name.

  • Android (Google Play): submitted under our developer account.
  • iOS (Apple App Store): Apple requires the restaurant to have its own Apple Developer account registered to the restaurant’s legal entity. We build and publish the app, and upload it under the restaurant’s account while our system remains the rightful uploading developer ID for ongoing submissions/updates.

Apple charges USD $99/year for a company developer account. This fee is paid directly to Apple and is required to publish your branded iOS app.

Yes. Step-by-step instructions are shown in the admin before purchase. We outline enrollment, verification, and how we connect your account for publishing and updates.

Still Have Doubts? Here’s Why Savvory Wins.

Quick answers to the most common concerns — focused on profit, simplicity, and growth.

We already have a POS system

Great — keep it. Savvory runs alongside your POS to capture higher-margin direct orders and build your customer list.

Works with your website, printers, and current workflow — no rip-and-replace.
POS online ordering often locks you out of emails/phone numbers — no list = no repeat sales.
We get orders through DoorDash/Uber Eats

Perfect — keep those for discovery. Use Savvory for direct, low-fee, repeatable orders you actually profit from.

Own your customer list and retarget with rewards/VIP offers.
Third-party commissions erase profit and block you from building loyalty.
We don’t want another system to manage

It’s done-for-you. We set up menus, fees, printers, and deposits — you approve and go live.

Zero-learning-curve onboarding. Keep your flow; we fit into it.
Juggling marketplace dashboards & chargebacks wastes time and margin.
We don’t get enough online orders to justify it

Direct ordering creates demand: SEO + QR codes + loyalty rewards = more repeat orders.

Even +2 orders/day covers costs and builds a retention engine.
Relying only on phone orders or marketplaces leaves money on the table.
Won’t two systems confuse customers?

No. We route your website and Google listing to one clear “Order Direct” button — simple and branded.

Clean UX: one link everywhere; table QR codes match.
Sending to marketplaces promotes competitors right next to you.
What about delivery? We can’t lose that revenue

Offer delivery on your terms — your drivers or preferred partners, without commission drain.

Hybrid models supported: pickup, curbside, and delivery.
Marketplace delivery fees crush margins; customers will choose your cheaper direct link.
What if we need help or something breaks?

Real humans. Fast responses. We support you through setup and beyond — not a faceless ticket queue.

Live chat/text support 7 days during rollout; ongoing help as needed.
Marketplaces won’t optimize your direct sales because they profit when you don’t.
