Welcome to the eat2go merchant area. If you are a QSR, a restaurant owner, or a food-service operator, then this area was designed for you.

eat2go is a sales generation and accessibility engine that brings business to your business from the Internet, facilitating your customer placing pre-authorized online food ordering directly into your kitchen.

Consider these frequently asked questions:

Q: eat2go is an additional expense I don't want to have!
A: The expense of eat2go is inconsequential. There is a cost associated with taking an order over the phone that exceeds the cost of eat2go.

Q: Online food ordering is non-effective. No one orders food online.
A: eat2go is still the only true and unique on-line ordering solution. There have been many copy-cats that believe(d) they understood how eat2go works. Therefore, do not judge eat2go based on someone else's statistics and results. Try eat2go. If for whatever reason you are not satisfied, cancel at any time.

Q: We do not have time to communicate our needs to web designers to change our menus and make alterations to our site. We change things frequently.
A: eat2go does not require the intervention of any third party. You are always in control. The benefits outweigh the time you spend changing your menu which you have to do, anyway you look at it. The initial setup is done for you.

Q: I am afraid that the additional orders will overwhelm me.
A: You are in business to get more business while streamlining your operation, making it more efficient, and most importantly and significantly without increasing your labor costs. If you can do that, you are a winner and will see true profitability sooner.

Since 1993, for more than a decade, with a client base from Key West to Alaska and Mexico to Manila, we've been providing information technology solutions to the food-service industry. eat2go is a b2b tool. For questions, or more information,  please call us at 1-800-b2b-Tech, or drop us an email, at MerchantServices@eat2go.net.

No mistakes, no busy signals, no labor costs allocated to taking online food orders, no updating of menus, no waiting in-line; instead, your customer just gets online. Technology has never been so delicious! eat2go Food-Port is an extension of your POS into the cyberworld representing as many terminals as there are customers. And this is also the difference between shopping cart applications and eat2go, which unlike a shopping cart, is a portal that you control, any time you want to. eat2go also accepts checks, and in some instances, cash.

Be advised that any Internet food ordering system that claims to use email for delivery of orders, is not a true portal, no matter what the claim is, and the design does not reflect the understanding of the food-service industry, and the plight of a food-service operator, which does not permit periodically checking your email. With eat2go, orders arrive automatically utilizing a managed (eat2go personnel staffed) proprietary  gateway. Should for some reason your order does not arrive in a couple of minutes, eat2go personnel, and/or you, are alerted. More than that, once an order is submitted via email, you are relying on several third party email servers; so who is to say you will get your order? Since 1996, eat2go is a second generation product, the breath and scope of which is completely different from any other service pushing email as the primary delivery mechanism. With multiple redundant fax delivery gateways and proprietary IP gateways, eat2go is a technically superior product.  And that is yet another difference; as opposed to any other service, eat2go is a product, that you, the merchant, controls. 

The eat2go portal comes pre-loaded with your data, but you change the prices. You add items. You define specials. You open and close the portal for business, unless you define and enable the built-in scheduler. And you get the orders. It's all under your control. Quick, efficient with no knowledge required other than to type, point and click. If you have a POS, or even if you don't, eat2go is a snap!

eat2go is yet another avenue to your doorsteps! Do you recall what happened to your business once you started accepting credit cards? Even if you always have, accepting various methods of payment is yet another option you're providing to your customer, yet another avenue. The more roads lead to your doorstep, the better.

Don't place your customers on-hold. With each minute your customers remain on-hold, there is a increasing percentage of customers that will hang up. If your hold time approaches six minutes, you will lose almost all of them. Increase order value -- don't place customers in-line, give them an alternative, to get on-line, and at their leisure, and without any pressure, place their orders.

The eat2go portal is a sale generation, fulfillment and line-busting tool. As opposed to a Point-Of-Sale system which is a defensive necessity for your business, the eat2go portal is an offensive weapon counterpart in the arsenal of the food-service establishment. 

Consider this: How much do you spend mailing and updating your menus and mail-out materials? How many phone lines do you have and what happens when your lines are busy? How much does it cost to take an order?

With eat2go, for dollars a day, you could start bringing business to your doorsteps and increment that bottom line. eat2go helps you sell your product. If you already have an ISP connection to the Internet, or a plain and simple fax machine, then you already have the infrastructure needed by eat2go.

The eat2go portal is not a POS which is also an essential technology tool for the way business gets done in the food-service industry. If you have a POS, understanding and implementing eat2go is a snap! A POS product facilitates management of the establishment, curtails waste, pilferage, expenses such as labor costs and food costs; a POS product, touch-screen or not, is a tool that provides essential defenses for the business. eat2go is a line-busting and business generation tool, and is the offensive technology counterpart  for your business.

A cart is a cart, is a cart, right? 

Yes! That's absolutely correct! All carts are pretty similar. Some may look better than others, some may be prettier and hence slower or they may be a little more or less sophisticated, but
they are what they are. That's where eat2go Food-Port is different, because Food-Port is a portal. Big difference!

In a cart environment, a web designer works in specialized software like Microsoft® Front-Page© or Macromedia® Dream Weaver©. They work in code and layout the site in HTML and JavaScript or ASP. They may even attach links to pictures pointing to a "basket". The cart may even have credit card processing capabilities which sends the amount in the "basket" for approval. 

Every time a change is required on the site, the change depends upon the same process of changing the code in specialized editors, and sending the changes to the web. 

In eat2go Food-Port, you, the merchant, are in total control of your environment. You can add/delete items, modifiers, change delivery charges, change prices, post specials without any dependency on anyone else, without the need for techo-babble and code. You do this in real-time. eat2go Food-Port helps the merchant sell their product, not rely on an Internet programmers to perform this task at their pace or alternatively force you to become one. Click here for a comparison chart.

And all of this is accomplished at what a cart would charge, or much less, considering ROI factors. As far as our research indicates, eat2go FOOD-Port is still the only true portal alternative for on-line food ordering available on the web.

Case Study

A 6 month usage curve based upon eat2go merchant data. This curve represents usage growth with no advertising of any kind. Note that for every increment on the time axis, the volume roughly doubles.
 
 

Pizza operators seem to visualize the most rapid growth curves irrespective of advertising; however, case studies indicate that given time, or alternatively by advertising on-line ordering, for example, by putting its availability on flyers and/or in-store customer receipts will have a similar result, irrespective of type of food-product. Specifically, Japanese food, and sushi operators have witnessed similar curves over time, which in the long-run have outpaced pizza operators by order volume and dollar amount.
