Three's a Crowd ... or is it?
Third-party delivery hits main street America

A

mazon and Uber have become big
players in food delivery. In fact, the
market is being flooded with thirdparty delivery startups. Do your due diligence
to be sure a company delivering your product is
representing your brand accurately.
Last fall, Technomic, Inc. released a study,
"On Demand Delivery: Disrupting the
Future of Foodservice," and found that 76
percent of customers hold the restaurant
partially responsible for errors, even if restaurants have formal agreements with third-party
online and delivery companies.
"This puts operators' brand reputation at risk
each time a customer orders delivery through
these services," Melissa Wilson, a principal at
Technomic Inc. says in the study release. "Even
if delivery is not a current strategic initiative,
operators should educate themselves about and

understand the dynamics of the third-party delivery market so they can put guardrails in place
to maintain quality and brand reputation."
Third-party delivery has brought elation to
some pizzeria operators and disdain to others.
Tony Gemignani dedicated one of his
Respecting the Craft columns in 2016 to
detailing his admiration. He predicted that
food-delivery services will replace in-house
delivery altogether.
Ray VanMerrienboer of Red Zeppelin Pizza
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Domenick
Montanile of Venezia's New York Style Pizzeria in Phoenix, Arizona, have also found value
in partnering with multiple third-party ordering and delivery services. On the other hand,
Debbie Taranto, of Taranto's Pizzeria in Lewis
Center, Ohio, has encountered issues with
unauthorized providers selling her product.
