There is a better way.2212: Great software eliminates slack from the system, which eliminates cost and makes the whole system more valuable.2818: We will have more delivery in the US 10 years from now, which will enable the nextgen restaurant to leapfrog the existing restaurant infrastructure.

#NYCrestaurants - is lifting the delivery commission cap a good idea or a terrible one? Spoiler alert: we at Empower Delivery believe there is a better way.Joe Guszkowski of Restaurant Business Online lays out the pros and cons of the bill (Int 762) which would increase the "marketing" cap portion of the fee cap in New York City.Currently, the delivery apps are limited to a 23% commission, made up of 15% for delivery, 5% for "marketing" (where the marketing is being present on the digital food court), and 3% for credit card processing.The new law would enable the marketplaces to charge up to an additional 20% for "marketing" (defined as the digital ads and sponsored listings that restaurants are able use on marketplace elsewhere). This could be a total of up to 43% (before chargebacks, of course).The thinking goes that this will enable restaurants to pay to get noticed. But as Andrew Rigie of the New York City Hospitality Alliance says, this will cause a pay-to-play atmosphere where only those restaurants willing to advertise come up in sponsored listings. Don't believe it? Ask Joe Reinstein, who shared at the Food On Demand Conference an astounding graphic showing the restaurants actually in and near the hotel compared to the search results on marketplace platforms...which were almost all sponsored by national chains.Don't forget: additionally the delivery platforms are getting delivery fees and service fees from the consumer. In total, all of these fees and any markups a restaurant may charge to pay for them can mean that a consumer is paying 50-100% more for the same items on a delivery platform as compared to ordering directly from the restaurant.There is a better way.
