The Fair Food Delivery App

TODAY’S CHALLENGE

Restaurants make less > You’re paying more

Wantfood is enabling vendors to participate in digital food commerce on their own terms. Reclaiming margin, customer relationships, and long-term value, whilst returning value back to the customer.

THE PROBLEM

Food businesses are paying more to earn less > As much as 50% of your order value goes to the middleman

As digital ordering has grown, so has the cost of participation:

  • Increasing commission and service fees
  • Loss of direct customer relationships
  • Reduced control over pricing, data, and brand

What began as convenience has become dependency.

£GBP Billions are diverted from food businesses every year. Not because of inefficiency, but because of how the system is designed.

This is not a delivery problem.

It’s an economic one.
