The Cost of Third-Party Commissions

For many restaurants, especially multi-unit operators, the costs of third-party delivery services can be staggering. A typical commission can range from 15% to 30% per order, cutting deeply into already thin margins. While these platforms provide essential delivery fulfillment, they also pose significant financial trade-offs.

Our partnerships with industry giants like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub ensure seamless last-mile delivery, but it's our unique value proposition that truly sets us apart. By eliminating commissions, OPA! provides restaurant operators the financial breathing room they need to reinvest in their businesses.

Empowering Restaurants with First-Party Data

Data is king in today's digital economy. Yet, many restaurants relinquish critical customer insights when relying solely on third-party marketplaces. OPA! changes the game by enabling restaurants to own their first-party data. This ownership allows for more personalized marketing and a deeper understanding of customer preferences.

With 2,400+ locations live across all 50 states, we've seen firsthand how data-driven insights can transform operations. Whether it's refining menu offerings or tailoring promotional campaigns, first-party data equips restaurateurs with the tools for smarter decision-making.

Building Loyalty from Within

Loyalty programs are not just a nice-to-have; they're a must-have. OPA!'s integrated loyalty system provides seamless POS integration with partners like Toast, Square, and Clover, ensuring a frictionless setup within 48 hours on average.

By leveraging first-party data, restaurants can craft loyalty programs that resonate with their clientele. The result? Increased repeat business and a stronger brand affinity. One of our re-engagement campaigns delivered an astounding $140K in incremental revenue in just 90 days.
