As they started doing more orders, Hip Hop Chip Shop wanted to be able to continue control the quality of the food and the delivery times. They now take orders through their own website, as well as through Deliveroo and Uber Eats, but even with orders through the apps, they do the deliveries themselves. They keep the delivery radius small to ensure the food doesn’t stay in the box for too long.<\/p>\n
Ozzie said: “When [the delivery platforms] were doing the riding for us, you’d get riders that would accept an order and then arrive at the shop and then find something else or leave. We literally had riders outside and then we’d look and they’d be gone. It was just the not knowing when people would come. It’s a complete blind spot for your business.<\/p>\n
“We’ve ended up getting people in who have done deliveries for Uber Eats and Deliveroo, and the fact that they are going back and forth to one venue, getting paid an hourly rate rather than by delivery, they’re actually getting paid more for doing that.<\/p>\n
“Since we’ve brought our deliveries in house, our deliveries on the platform have been up and up because we’re in control of the quality and we know it’s getting there proper quick. Before, we just didn’t know what was happening, we didn’t know how quick they were going. There was no incentive for them to get there quickly, they were just getting paid for the delivery.”<\/p>\n Delivery apps like Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat can provide exposure for small businesses and straightforward means of delivering their dishes, but this service does come at a premium.<\/p>\n For each order that is delivered, delivery platforms will take around 30-35% of the revenue. If restaurants get orders through the apps but deliver themselves, the cut is around 15%. For orders through their own website, they only have to pay a monthly upkeep fee and a cut of the card payments of around 2%.<\/p>\n On top of this, Ozzie says that they are constantly being encouraged to put offers on their food. Something that he says, if they don’t do, affects their rankings on the platform.<\/p>\n “I’ve always said, it’s a necessary evil. They are offering you a service of orders and delivery, it’s a good model, but they’ll just take a lot of money.<\/p>\n “I definitely see the value in it, for sure, but if you are in a position to be able do it yourselves, I would definitely do it. For us, it’s been so much better for us to be able to control it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Hip Hop Chip Shop<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Fish and chips delivered by bike from Thursday to Sunday within 1.3km of the Ancoats restaurant.
