Don’t believe us? According to Flipdish, the number of online orders for takeaway and food delivery in Germany has jumped a massive 245% during the COVID-19 crisis, while the average order value per delivery is up 20%. Published in April of 2020, this indicates a strong cultural shift towards ordering online. Which means that now more than ever it’s vital that you get your future-proof your business by online.

It’s that easy.

Grow Customer Spend Per Order
Customers are typically placing larger orders during the crisis. Flipdish data shows that the average online order value per customer has increased by 36% within a month (April 8th compared to March 11th) – with the average order jumping from €22 to €30. That’s a significant increase and €30 represents a strong order value. With more people ordering food online for a larger number of people who are confined at home, there’s a larger opportunity just waiting for you to take advantage of in your local area.
Delivery Dilemma?
With delivery costs accounting for a larger portion of running costs, these higher order values really help to boost efficiency and margins. Not only this, but we’ll help you with it. As a Kepak customer you will receive expedited services to support you in your new online takeaway service. More about that here.
