Boost your Restaurant's Profile with Order with Google

With Sociavore + Google, the world's largest search engine now connects to your Sociavore restaurant website to accept direct commission-free orders while respecting your inventory, order pacing, and schedules.  

Google connects millions of people with restaurants across Canada and the US every day. With Sociavore's Order with Google integration, Google Searches are turning into online orders for our independent restaurant partners. Customers searching on Google for a restaurant by name or terms like “ramen near me” or “wood-fired pizza in Toronto,” will discover your restaurant and place an order in a couple of taps. These hungry searchers can place an order from within Google Search or Google Maps and even re-order using voice with their Google Assistant. 

We're proud to offer Sociavore + Google integration as an included feature to all restaurants who subscribe to our One Plan - there are no additional fees or costs associated with using or placing orders through Order with Google. This new integration aligns with Sociavore’s mission is to provide a platform for independent restaurants to leverage digital technologies to grow profitably under their brand - every order placed on Google will also be commission-free. 

Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to increase your restaurant's visibility - and decrease commission fees at the same time.

Sociavore launches Food Ordering Across Google Search, Maps and Assistant

Introducing Commission-Free Orders from Google Search, Maps and Assistant

Tap into on-demand delivery networks at affordable flat-rate fees, no commissions

At Sociavore, we know how vital delivery service has become for independent restaurants across North America. We're passionate about providing commission-free online solutions that empower restaurants to reduce their dependence on expensive third-party delivery marketplaces and apps. That's why we're excited to introduce our latest delivery option available for all Sociavore customers: on-demand delivery. 

On-demand delivery allows your restaurant to offer delivery on your restaurant website even if you don't have the time, vehicle, or staff to own in-house delivery. Enjoy fixed rates with delivery companies, including on-demand delivery networks and local providers, that already have a fleet of drivers. You'll never have to worry about huge commissions again.

Create a new delivery schedule for your online ordering menu, and select one of our partnered delivery networks as a service provider.

Sociavore will check if the service provider delivers in your delivery zone. You'll see what the fixed fees are for delivery and can choose if you want to cover a portion of delivery fees for your customer or set a free delivery threshold. 

Customers receive an automated message from the delivery network after checkout with an estimated delivery time that incorporates restaurant prep time & driver delivery time. 

Your restaurant receives a prep time based on when the driver is coming, with the minimum being the required prep time your restaurant needs. 

Use the Sociavore Dashboard to hire a driver, get their contact info, and receive live updates from the delivery. 

Sociavore integrates with Square Payments to accept online order payments from customers, paying delivery fees to the delivery network, and depositing your restaurant's share in your Square account as a next-day deposit. 

Q: Do I have to sign up for a third-party delivery marketplace or app to use on-demand delivery?

A: No. You hire delivery drivers directly from your Sociavore dashboard. Your restaurant won't appear on any marketplaces or apps, and third-party companies won't be billing you directly.

Q: What is the flat rate fee to hire an on-demand delivery driver?

A: Flat rate fees vary between networks. For DoorDash Drive, standard rates are $8.50 CAD per delivery in Canada and $7 USD per delivery in the United States. You can change your settings in Sociavore to charge some or all of the delivery fee directly to the customer.
