Retain your regular customers

Regulars are the heart of every kitchen. On a food app they open the app, not your kitchen, and other kitchens and their deals come first. On NearbyPost your regulars keep your own app icon on their phone. One tap opens your menu, with no competitors in between.

2Your margin

No 30% commission

On a food app, about 30% of every delivery order goes to the app. On your own page, nothing does: you keep the full price of your food.

Worked out at 30%, the delivery commission a big food app shows a new single-outlet merchant at sign-up (15% for self pick-up). Chains may pay less.

3New customers

Free customers from nearby

People already come to NearbyPost to read news and posts about their own area. They live and work near you, and everyone needs to eat. When they see food close by, there is a good chance some of them order from you, at no cost to you.

How orders reach you

Two kinds of customers. NearbyPost works for both, and turns new customers into regulars.

Your regulars The core of your kitchen

  1. 🖨️We give you a QR code, a desk card and a poster. Your existing customers scan it and add your app icon to their phone, in seconds.
  2. 📲From then on, they just tap your icon on their home screen.
  3. 🍜Your menu opens. They choose dishes and send the order.
  4. 💬It arrives on your WhatsApp. You confirm, and they pay you directly.
See the desk card and poster →

New customers

  1. 🔎They find you: local news nearby, a Google search, your QR code or a friend's link.
  2. 🍜They order from your menu, the same way.
  3. ↺After their first order, NearbyPost shows them how to add your icon. Now they are a regular.

How

Run your own promotions again

Many kitchens have forgotten this is possible. On a food app, the app sets the deals and you pay for them. On your own page, you decide. For example:

  • Spend RM25 or more and get a free drink — people add one more dish to reach it.
  • A free drink or side with a set, or a family combo at a better price.
  • A first-order treat for new customers, like RM3 off.

NearbyPost takes no commission, so you keep the margin that pays for the promotion — a better deal than you could afford on the big food apps.

Where RM18 of food goes
On a food app RM12.60RM5.40
Direct on NearbyPost RM12.60RM5.40

You keep App fee Extra for the buyer

Example: RM18 of food, about 30% app commission. Direct, you can give that RM5.40 back as a free drink, a bigger portion or cheaper delivery — and still earn the same RM12.60.

Questions

What about delivery? Do you offer a delivery service?

We don't run riders, and you don't need us to. Your customer gets the food one of three ways, and you choose which ones you offer:

🚶 They pick upOn the way home or to work. The cheapest way for them.
🛵 They book their own rider, in a minuteOnce you confirm, their order page shows your pick-up details, each with its own Copy button: your address, name, contact number and a note for the driver with the order number. They paste each into the courier app's pickup boxes. No typing, and no calls asking you for directions.
🏍️ You deliver (optional)Only if you have the capacity, like your waiter walking it to the condo next door, or a delivery you arrange through an app. Don't want the trouble? Turn on pick-up only, and let customers sort out the rest themselves.

👥 Someone else collecting? One tap sends the order number, food, address and map to whoever collects it.

And it still costs them less than a food app:

Many will, because it saves them money. On a food app, a meal plus delivery for one person often comes to RM21–RM27, and the app's commission is built into the food price. Ordered direct, there is none.

Lunch for oneRM15.00 of foodFamily dinnerRM40.00 of foodOffice lunch or partyRM100.00 of food
On a food app, with deliveryRM27.43RM63.14RM148.86
Picked up from youRM15.00saves RM12.43RM40.00saves RM23.14RM100.00saves RM48.86
With their own rider (about RM6)RM21.00saves RM6.43RM46.00saves RM17.14RM106.00saves RM42.86

The barrier to big orders is gone. On a food app, the bigger the order, the bigger the commission, so customers hold back on big orders. Ordered direct, the rider costs the same whatever the size. Family dinners, office lunches and party orders become worth ordering from you.

What the customer pays. Food app = a menu priced to cover the 30% commission, plus a delivery fee of about RM6 (the same as a rider). Small-order and platform fees are left out, so the real gap is often bigger.

Customers who want to saveMost peopleThey pick up on the way home, or book their own rider. The bigger the order, the more they save: about RM17.14 on a family dinner and RM42.86 on an office lunch, even with a rider.
Customers who want one buttonA smaller groupSome people will happily pay more for an app that arranges everything. Keep the apps for them if you like.
Is it really free? What is the catch?

It is free: no commission, no fees, no subscription. NearbyPost never touches your money. Customers pay you directly, so there is nothing for us to take a cut from. So how will NearbyPost earn? Later, from third-party advertising on the site, never from your sales.

Can I stay on other food apps?

Yes. Keep the apps for new customers, and send your regulars to your own page, where there is no commission.

What if I am busy or sold out?

You stay in control. Tick Sold out on any dish and it shows as sold out on your menu. Too busy? Switch the whole kitchen offline with one tap, and back online when you are ready. Your opening hours, days off and public holidays show on your page, so customers know when you are open. And you confirm every order yourself, so nothing is accepted without you.
