Your Regulars Shouldn't Cost You a Commission

The delivery app found you new customers, and that's worth paying for. Now look at last month's orders. A good share came from the same people, ordering the same jollof and chicken every Friday. They already know you, and they'd order from you directly if it were as easy. Instead every one of those orders pays the app a commission that can run from 15% to 30%, depending on the app and your plan.

You don't need to leave the platforms. Use them to be found, and give your repeat customers a reason and a way to order from you.

• A direct ordering page on your own website with menu, photos, options, delivery or pickup, and payment by card or transfer confirmed by the gateway.
• WhatsApp ordering for customers who'd rather chat. An agent shows the menu, takes the order, sends a payment link and passes it to the kitchen.
• Orders straight to the kitchen. Each paid order prints or pings the kitchen and the dispatch rider on Telegram the moment it's paid.
• A small reason to switch. A slightly lower price, a free drink or loyalty points for ordering direct, paid for out of the commission you no longer pay.
• Your own customer list. Names, numbers and order history stay with you, so you can tell regulars about the new menu yourself.

Office parties, family gatherings and church events order trays of food weeks ahead, and the biggest orders pay the biggest commissions. A catering page with tray sizes, a date picker and a deposit at booking takes those orders directly, with the deposit already in your account.

WeSelling, my business operating system, runs a storefront, inventory and card and stablecoin payments in one place, with every order tied to stock. My private Telegram notification service sends each order and booking to the right staff member instantly. Open a WeSelling store to start selling direct without a custom build.

• WhatsApp AI Agent from $220, with catalogue, payment links and order logging from $560.
• Booking System with Deposits from $380 for catering and party orders.
