The Cheapest Restaurant Ordering System? WhatsApp

Many restaurants look for cheap ordering apps to take online orders without spending too much money. Most food ordering apps charge high setup fees or take a big commission on every order.

The Hidden Costs of “Cheap” Apps

Over time, these costs reduce restaurant profits and make it hard to grow the business. What seems cheap upfront often becomes expensive over time:

• 15-30% commission per order adds up quickly
• Monthly subscription fees on top of commissions
• Extra fees for premium placement
• Payment processing fees (additional 2-3%)
• Marketing fees to appear in search results
• Lost customer data (you can’t market directly)

A Better, Truly Cheaper Option

Ordering through WhatsApp is a better option. Customers already use WhatsApp, so there is no need to build or maintain a separate mobile app or website. This saves money and makes ordering easier for customers.
