Nowadays, everyone has tried to
order food online simply because it
is convenient and beats going out.
Due to the pandemic, the new
normal has also limited dine-ins.
Aside from that, people want to be
safe. Businesses need to learn how
to 
adjust 
and match 
their
customers’ needs.
Food ordering systems may have
benefits, 
but 
they 
also 
have
drawbacks. Restaurant owners need to
understand the pros and cons to make
an informed decision. Let’s discuss the
pros and the possible cons you’ll
encounter.
What is an Online Food Ordering
System?
Dine-ins aren’t the only way to make a
sale. If you want to expand your reach
and your restaurant’s sales, venturing
into online delivery 
is one way to
penetrate the market. It is a system
where your existing and potential clients
can browse the selection of food your
restaurant offers. ROFOS (Restaurant
Online Food Ordering System) is a
system that will allow you to sell your
products through the internet.
Pros: 
It 
is Convenient 
for 
Your
Customers.
Let’s face it. Not everyone has the luxury
to go out and dine in. When your
restaurant offers online food delivery,
your existing clients can enjoy the
delicious selection of your food in the
comfort of their homes. People who
spend most of their day working from
home will also appreciate it. They won’t
have to skip their lunch breaks or go out
to eat.
Cons: Waiting Times are Longer.
Ordering online should be convenient,
right? However, it isn’t always suitable in
some aspects. If a customer is in a rush
or is starving, ordering food online isn’t
always an option. Reasons for waiting
times are not 
in 
the hands of
restaurants but uncontrollable things
such as traffic and weather conditions.
Other causes include situations when
the customer has ordered during busy
hours or they have a complex food
order.
Pros: You’ll Discover New Customers
and Restaurants.
What better way to check on your
competitors than joining them, right?
You’ll see how they run their own online
food ordering system. You’ll find ideas
on what to improve and what not to do.
Using an online ordering system is also
an 
opportunity 
to 
garner 
new
customers. 
Both 
restaurants 
and
customers will 
benefit 
from 
the
expansion.
Cons: 
It 
is More 
Expensive 
for
Customers.
When customers order food online, they
pay for the ease of access. They won’t
have to leave their couch and wait in
line. However, there are delivery fees,
and the price of the food items may be
a little more costly compared to when
they dine in. Besides that, customers
also give a tip to their delivery riders.
Pros: You Won’t Have to Worry About Low
Sales Even if There’s Inclement Weather.
When the weather is terrible, restaurants
often close early. Early closure equates to
low sales. However, those days are over.
When you adopt an online ordering
system, customers will still enjoy your
food even in the late hours of the night. It
is a win-win situation for everyone except
for the person who’ll be delivering the
food.
Cons: The Ambiance of Ordering
Online is Far Different Compared to
Dine in.
When customers order food online,
they’ll miss the vibes they get when
they go to a restaurant. More often
than not, they’re likely watching a
movie while chowing down on their
newly delivered order.
Pros: Customers Can Receive Discount
Coupons.
One marketing 
strategy 
to get
customers clicking is when vouchers or
coupons are available that they can
apply to their orders. This technique is
one of the best ways to tackle the
growing 
competitive market 
of
ordering online. You will have countless
customers choosing your restaurant.
The pros outweigh the cons. It offers
multitudinous 
opportunities 
to
restaurants 
big 
and 
small.
Restaurant owners should 
take
advantage of the exposure and the
chance to reach a broader market.
The world is at the tip of your
fingers!
