Restaurant

Run your own delivery. Keep your own margin.

The dispatch software to deliver with your own drivers, live GPS tracking, branded customer updates, and proof of delivery, without handing 15 to 30% of every order to a third-party app.

The problem

The delivery apps aren't a growth channel. They're a tax on every order.

  • You lose money on aggregator orders. DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub take 15 to 30% per order, 30 to 40% once you add fees and promos. On a 3 to 5% net margin, that puts you underwater.
  • They own the customer, not you. You never get the name, the email, the phone number, or the chance to bring that customer back directly.
  • You're flying blind on your own deliveries. No live map, no ETAs for customers, no proof a delivery actually landed.
  • Your dispatch is duct-taped together. Paper tickets, group chats, and “where are you?” phone calls don't scale past a couple of drivers on a Friday night.
The solution

Everything you need to deliver like the apps while keeping what they take

Own your drivers, own your margin

Deliver with your own fleet or contractors and pay a flat monthly fee instead of a cut of every order.

Live GPS tracking, start to finish

Customers get an Uber-style tracking link with a live ETA, under your name, not DoorDash's.

Smart dispatch for the dinner rush

Auto-assign tickets by proximity or delivery zone. Built to hold up when tickets stack three-deep on a Friday night.

Proof every order landed

Photo, signature, and GPS-stamped proof of delivery on every drop.

Keep the customer relationship

Every direct order is your data, name, address, order history, contact.

The math

Do the math on one order, then on a whole Friday

The average restaurant runs a 3 to 5% net margin. A 15 to 30% commission doesn't come out of your profit, it comes out of your pocket. You are, quite literally, paying to lose money on aggregator orders.

Self-delivery flips it: deliveries cost about 10% less per order, direct orders carry a +20% higher average order value, and every customer stays yours. Swap a percentage of revenue for a flat, predictable fee and every incremental order works for your margin instead of against it.

A flat fee, not a cut of every order

One predictable price for your whole operation. No per-order commission. Whether you run 50 deliveries a week or 500, the software costs the same, so every additional order makes you more, not less.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Zippykind a delivery marketplace like DoorDash?

No, and that's the point. We don't send you orders or take a commission. Zippykind is the software that lets you run your own delivery. You keep 100% of the order and 100% of the customer relationship.

Yes. Zippykind is built for your existing fleet, full-time drivers, part-timers, or contractors. No need to onboard a third-party gig fleet.

You'd pay drivers either way, the apps just add a 15 to 30% commission on top. In-house delivery runs about 10% cheaper per order and direct orders average 20% higher.

Yes. A real-time tracking link with a live map and ETA, plus SMS/email updates, under your restaurant's name.

Onfleet does similar dispatch but is priced for enterprise. Toast and Otter route your orders to outsourced drivers, you don't own the fleet or the customer. Zippykind gives you true self-fleet dispatch, priced for an independent.

Any independent that delivers with its own people: pizzerias, Chinese and other ethnic kitchens, caterers, and ghost kitchens.
