Next Order is aimed squarely at venues tired of handing a quarter of every delivery order to the aggregators. It runs your own branded online ordering on a flat monthly fee with no per order commission, so the more you sell, the more you keep. Here is our honest read.
Next Order gives a venue its own branded online ordering, website and app flow, charged as a flat monthly fee rather than a slice of every order. That is the whole pitch, and it is a good one: the delivery aggregators can take twenty to thirty percent of an order, so a venue doing real online volume hands over enormous sums that a flat fee model lets you keep instead.
You also own the customer relationship, the data and the marketing, rather than renting it from a marketplace. The trade off is that you have to drive your own orders rather than relying on an aggregator's audience, and the flat fee only pays off once you have enough online volume to beat what commissions would have cost. For a busy delivery and pickup venue, the maths is compelling.
A flat monthly fee instead of a slice of every order, so your costs stop scaling with your success.
Branded online ordering, website and app, so customers order from you, not a marketplace.
The customer relationship, data and marketing stay with you rather than the aggregator.
The more online orders you do, the more a flat fee beats per order commission.
Next Order makes the most sense for venues already doing meaningful online volume through aggregators, where commission is quietly costing thousands. Switching that volume to a flat fee, branded channel keeps the money and the customer. For a venue with little online business, the fee is harder to justify until the volume is there. It rewards venues that drive their own orders.
