We’re interviewing restaurant owners to share what makes your place special and highlight the story behind your business. Selected restaurants may be featured on YouTube, social media, search, and within the ClickGrub Restaurant District as part of this editorial series.
👉 If it makes sense, you can see if your restaurant is a fit for the interview.

Restaurant-Owned eCommerce for Independent Restaurants
ClickGrub builds and operates restaurant-owned eCommerce across every order channel—helping capture missed orders, increase direct sales, and reduce reliance on third-party apps.

Capture missed phone orders with AI

Increase repeat orders and customer loyalty
No upfront cost. No online ordering subscriptions. No commissions.



The Problem
Third-party delivery commissions, online ordering subscription fees, missed phone orders, and rented customer relationships quietly reduce margins every day without most owners realizing it.
Across the restaurants we’re featuring, a pattern keeps showing up:
20–30% third-party app commissions
Ongoing online ordering subscription fees
Staff tied to the phones
Missed calls during peak and non-operating hours
Customer relationships controlled by third-party apps
For selected restaurants, we help turn visibility into something you keep:
Full margin on direct orders
More cash flow in the business each month
Less staff time spent on phones
More orders captured during peak or missed-call hours
The long-term value the eCommerce storefront creates
Use third-party apps for discovery and delivery—ClickGrub helps you keep the customer and the cash flow.
