How Savvory Helps Restaurants Increase Online Orders by 20–40%

Michael Gross • December 2, 2025

Restaurants using Savvory’s commission-free online ordering system typically see a 20–40% increase in online orders within the first 60 days

In today’s restaurant landscape, online ordering is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s one of the highest-impact revenue channels a restaurant can control. But many restaurant owners struggle to increase online orders without relying on discounts, expensive ads, or third-party delivery apps that take 20–30% of every sale.

That’s exactly where Savvory steps in.


Restaurants using Savvory’s commission-free online ordering system typically see a 20–40% increase in online orders within the first 60 days — without increasing marketing spend or lowering prices.


Here’s how.


1. No Commissions = Lower Menu Prices = More Orders

Third-party delivery apps make restaurants raise prices to cover 20–30% commissions.
Customers feel the difference — and many avoid ordering because it “feels expensive.”

Savvory eliminates commissions entirely, which allows restaurants to:

Keep menu prices lower

Offer better value

Compete more effectively

Encourage repeat customers

Lower prices + no extra fees = more online orders.
The math is simple.


2. A Faster, Cleaner Ordering Experience

Online ordering should be effortless.
That’s why Savvory is built with a clean, modern UI designed for one thing:


👉 Get customers from menu → checkout in the fewest taps possible.


Every detail is optimized:


  • Fast-loading pages
  • High-contrast buttons
  • Clear item descriptions
  • Upsell prompts
  • 1-tap reordering
  • Apple-like visual style
  • Perfect mobile performance


When the ordering process is simple and friction-free, customers order more often — and spend more.


3. Built-In Upsells That Increase Ticket Size

Savvory automatically encourages larger orders with:


  • Add-ons
  • Extras
  • Combos
  • Recommended items
  • Popular pairings
  • Seasonal specials
  • One-tap upgrades
  • These small nudges have a massive impact.


Most restaurants increase their average online ticket by $4–$12 simply by using Savvory’s menu structure and built-in upsell features.


4. QR Codes Drive Instant Orders

Savvory provides restaurants with high-quality, branded QR codes that link directly to their ordering menu.

QR codes increase orders by:


  • Converting walk-ins into pickup orders
  • Promoting direct ordering over DoorDash
  • Making reorders easy
  • Allowing customers to skip the line
  • Encouraging mobile ordering at the table


Restaurants place QR codes on:


  • Tables
  • Doors
  • Menus
  • Bags
  • Flyers
  • Receipts
  • Posters
  • Window decals


Every scan = more direct orders.


5. Loyalty Rewards Keep Customers Coming Back


Repeat customers are the heart of restaurant profitability.


Savvory includes built-in loyalty features such as:


  • Points for each order
  • Exclusive rewards
  • Free items after a number of visits
  • Online-only specials
  • VIP perks


Customers love earning rewards — and they choose direct ordering over apps so they don’t “miss out” on points.


Loyalty alone can increase a restaurant’s online orders by 15–25%.


6. Highlighting Specials Drives Urgency

Savvory makes it easy for restaurants to promote:


  • Limited-time items
  • Weekly features
  • Seasonal dishes
  • Family bundles
  • Pickup-only specials
  • Online-exclusive add-ons


Unlike discounts, these are high-margin offers that increase excitement without lowering profitability.

When customers see something new or limited, they order more frequently — and more impulsively.


7. Direct Customer Data = Stronger Marketing

Most restaurants don’t have access to customer information when orders come through DoorDash or Uber Eats.


Savvory gives restaurants:


  • Customer names
  • Emails
  • Order history
  • Favorite items
  • Frequency of visits
  • This enables smarter marketing:
  • Targeted email offers
  • Bringing back lapsed customers
  • Promoting new menu items
  • Creating loyalty-based rewards
  • Boosting slow days
  • Direct data = direct revenue.


8. Better Pickup Workflow = Happier Customers


Pickup orders are the highest-margin online orders a restaurant can get.


Savvory improves the pickup process by:


  • Sending orders instantly to the tablet
  • Keeping the kitchen organized
  • Reducing mistakes
  • Offering clear timing estimates
  • Making it easy for customers to see when their food is ready


When pickup is smooth, customers order more often — and avoid expensive third-party apps entirely.


9. Simple Setup = Faster Results


Most restaurants start seeing increased online orders within the first 7–14 days because:

  • Savvory builds the menu for you
  • Installation is quick
  • The interface is simple
  • No POS integration is required
  • Staff training is minimal


Restaurants can focus on food — Savvory handles the rest.
