Are you noticing fewer orders coming through your delivery app? You’re not alone. Many local businesses experience a sudden drop in delivery orders—and it can be frustrating and confusing. But don’t worry—there are ways to fix this.

In this blog, we’ll explore why orders drop, what you can do about it, and how to take back control of your delivery business.


Why Are You Getting Fewer Orders?


1. Too Much Competition

Big platforms like Uber Eats and DoorDash list thousands of restaurants and stores. Your business might be getting lost in the crowd.

2. High Commission Fees

Delivery apps take a big cut—sometimes up to 30%. This forces many businesses to raise prices, which drives customers away.

3. Poor Visibility on the App

You may not be showing up in the top search results. Paid placements often go to big brands with higher marketing budgets.

4. Slow Delivery or Poor Reviews

If customers have had bad experiences—late deliveries, missing items, or bad service—they’re less likely to reorder.


How to Boost Your Delivery Orders


1. Offer Exclusive Deals


Give your customers something they can’t get on third-party apps. Offer discounts or bundles through your own channels—like social media, email, or SMS.


2. Improve Customer Experience

Make sure your packaging is clean, your items are accurate, and your delivery is fast. Small details go a long way in keeping customers coming back.

3. Promote Your Own Ordering Link

Instead of relying only on delivery apps, share your own ordering link. Use it on your Instagram bio, WhatsApp messages, website, and flyers.


4. Ask for Feedback

Reach out to repeat customers and ask what can be improved. It shows you care and helps you fix issues before they hurt your business.
