No commission on orders
Every direct order is fully yours — no percentage, no intermediary fees.
A delivery-app alternative for your direct orders
Delivery apps like Jahez, HungerStation, and Keeta bring orders — but take a percentage of every one and keep the customer data. Qoodz builds a direct channel you own.
Aggregators are acquisition — your channel is retention
Delivery apps are genuinely good at one thing: putting your restaurant in front of customers who have never heard of you. Where they are expensive is the repeat order — paying a percentage every time a customer who already knows you orders again.
The math usually settles this way: let the apps handle discovery, and route repeat business to a channel that does not tax it.
What the apps quietly keep
Beyond the commission line, the bigger cost is invisible: the customer relationship. On the apps you rarely see who ordered, what they liked, or when they went quiet — data that a loyalty program and direct marketing need.
Your ranking also rides on their algorithm and ad inventory. A direct channel is the part of the business no policy change can take away.
Migration is a path, not a switch
Nobody moves their customers overnight. The realistic sequence: keep the apps for reach, print QR codes on packaging and tables, offer a loyalty reason to order direct, and let the share of direct orders grow month over month. Restaurants that treat it as a slow migration — not a boycott — get the best of both channels.
Why a direct channel
Customer data is yours
Order numbers and behavior build a real loyalty base — not locked inside a platform.
Loyalty brings them back
Points and offers make customers order from you directly instead of the intermediary.
No dependence on platform ranking
Your visibility doesn't depend on ad algorithms or platform policy changes.
Full menu control
Your prices and item availability stay under your instant control — updated from one dashboard.
Works alongside the apps
Not a forced replacement — a direct channel next to your existing ones.
Your direct channel vs Jahez, HungerStation & Keeta
| Criteria | Qoodz | Jahez / HungerStation / Keeta |
|---|---|---|
| Commission per order | Flat subscription — no percentage | Percentage on every order |
| New-customer discovery | Through your own marketing | Ready audience — their real strength |
| Delivery fleet | Your drivers or your arrangement | Ready driver network |
| Customer data & loyalty | Numbers and behavior — fully yours | Stays inside the app |
| Menu & price control | Full — same prices as your branch | Often inflated prices, slower updates |
| Relationship after the order | Loyalty, campaigns, direct returns | The customer returns to the app, not to you |
Guidance note: Jahez, HungerStation, and Keeta remain the strongest discovery and delivery channels — the smart strategy combines both: the apps for new customers, your direct channel for repeat orders.

FAQ
- Should I leave the delivery apps?
- Probably not — they are still the best discovery channel. The smart play is keeping them for new customers and moving repeat orders to your direct channel.
- How fast do direct orders grow?
- Honestly, gradually. Expect months, not weeks — loyalty rewards, packaging QR codes, and repeat-customer marketing compound over time.
- Who handles delivery on direct orders?
- You choose your setup — your own drivers or a delivery arrangement that fits your operation. Qoodz runs the ordering, payment, and customer side either way.
- Will customers actually order direct?
- When the price is the same (or better) and there is a loyalty reason to return — yes. That is why the loyalty program is part of the platform, not an add-on.
- Is there a commission-free trial to test this?
- Qoodz is a flat subscription — there is no per-order commission to trial. Book a demo and we will walk through the numbers for your order volume.
