Here is how to register a restaurant on Zappwala:
Complete the registration
In the first step, you need to get your restaurant listed on Zappwala. To do this, drop an inquiry on the company page, and a salesperson from Zappwala will connect with you. The salesperson will meet you and discuss your expectations regarding the terms of the contract, cost, and orders. After this is agreed upon, contract terms will be finalized and your documents will be reviewed. Zappwala takes about a week to list your restaurant. The documents required are an FSSAI license, PAN card, canceled cheque, copy of a bill for charges and taxes, and identity proof of the owner.
Understand the commission
Zappwala charges a commission from all the restaurants listed on the portal. The commission depends on how you choose to work. If you are solely listed on Zappwala, the commission will be 10% to 32%. If Zappwala also offers a delivery fleet, the commission will be as high as 40%. The commission will be discussed by the executive after the successful registration of your store.
Share menu and photos
Since your customers will order on Zappwala, you need to ensure that you provide a complete menu for them to choose from. Ensure that it includes all those items that are usually available to you. Update the menu as and when you add new dishes to it. Remember to add photos (maximum file size should not exceed 90kb) of various dishes so that customers can get an idea about the type of food you serve. You can hire a professional food photographer to click quality images that can be used on the portal. If you are running short of funds for hiring someone to upload menu items, contact Zappwala for the support team.
Offer discounts
Nobody can refuse a discount. Zappwala has several offers and promotions that reduce the cost of ordering. However, you can offer special discounts on certain days in order to increase the number of orders. Customers will automatically choose your restaurant over others when they see a fall in price. Do not give steep discounts as it might be against the policy of Zappwala. Additionally, do not have an offer running constantly for weeks. Instead, set aside special days when you give offers or discounts to the customers. Always keep the commission in mind before you announce an offer.
Store must also remind or notify their restaurants or store offers to Zappwala.
Ask for feedback
Always ask your customers to share their feedback. This will help you increase sales. Take all feedback constructively. If a customer does not like a particular dish and shares feedback of the same, write back to the customer and offer a special discount on their next visit to make up for it. Any kind of feedback will be useful for your business and you need to take it in the right manner. If there is positive feedback, then you are doing the right thing. However, if there is negative feedback, you need to focus on improving the quality of food, service, and pricing. Pay attention to what your customers are saying because, at the end of the day, the customer is always the king. Word of mouth can help your business grow. With every successful order, reach out to the customer for feedback.
