Local Express Food Business Checkup

For our checkup, we’re going to look at a few key areas and how Local Express can assist you in each of those areas, helping you reclaim the revenue you’re leaving on the table.

Online Ordering

Online ordering is a huge revenue source for food businesses, and you might be missing out on potential sales. 

With Local Express, you’ll be able to make online ordering easier for customers. With all the features built into your app and website, you’ll have more orders flowing in from new and your loyal customers. 

We have many customers that have increased their online sales by 20%! You could also increase online revenue by utilizing our online ordering platform; you certainly DON’T want to miss out.

Are you preparing for Holiday promotions? Our analysis shows that online grocery sales are high during the holidays – especially during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year. Customers are busy so they shop for food online.

Based on your current sales, if you increase the number of online orders during the holiday season by additional:

Five per day; translates to $25,000 in revenue

Twenty per day; translates to $100,000 in revenue

Fifty per day (multi-locations); translates to a quarter of a million dollars in revenue

Don’t miss out on booming online sales during the holidays!

Delivery, Shipping, and Pickup System

Your online orders can only be as successful as your delivery, shipping, and pickup system allows. If you don’t provide the quality of service and options customers want, you’ll lose their business. 

We worked hard to ensure we provide everything you need when it comes to delivery, shipping, and pickup. Our platform integrates with most major providers, allows for options like curbside pickup and BOPIS, and provides speedy delivery. 

With our shipping module, you could potentially increase up to 10% in revenue. Many of our customers increase their reach by providing out-of-area shipping – nationwide.

Do you want to sell to a nationwide customer base? – especially for specialty and hard-to-find foods. These customers tend to buy larger baskets to save on shipping.

If you can sell some of your items out of town, it can potentially increase sales by over $100,000 in one year. That’s only two additional shipping orders per day.

Kitchen Display System

Prepared food is another key part of many food businesses, and your kitchen display system (“KDS”) might be holding you back. 

Our new kitchen display system was made with both employees and customers in mind. It allows for efficient order processing, order splitting, cloud printing, pre-orders, and more. Your employees will be empowered with our KDS system—efficiency can improve!

We believe that our KDS can help you save up to 10 % in operating costs in the prepared food department. 

Do you have a prepared food department? Some of our customers have over one hundred kiosk/prepared food orders per day from a single location. By reducing order-taking and preparation time using our KDS, you can reduce labor costs by $2000 per month.

AI Merchandising

Merchandising is an often overlooked aspect of food business management. However, it can be a great way to boost revenue with the right tools. 

At Local Express, we offer AI merchandising which can help increase sales. Our AI knows which products your customers like, don’t like, and should be placed first. With this tool, you can passively increase your online sales by up to 10%. Merchandising and promotions to increase sales are key to retail, and it’s the same for food.

Again, are you planning for a holiday season promotion? It’s a bit challenging to quantify sales increase due to AI Merchading; However, many of the industry studies have shown that well-placed merchandising online and offline can increase upsell per order. Do you have an AI Merchandising from your current eCommerce platform?

In-Store Kiosk

It seems like nearly every store these days has an in-store kiosk, and for good reason—they increase sales. If you don’t have a kiosk, you’re letting money go out the door. 

Our in-store kiosks have incredible revenue increasing potential. Stores using our kiosks have seen up to 173% increases in sales, 155% increases in the number of orders, 24% increases in order value, and 87% increases in average revenue per user (ARPU). 

Do you have a foodservice such as deli, bakery, or catering within your store? Increase your revenue with our in-store kiosks! We have many success cases and we can provide a ROI calculator for you to estimate the benefits. Contact us!

Loyalty Program with Coupon Codes, Discounts, and Promotions

Loyalty programs, coupon codes, discounts, and promotions are also a big part of running a food business. With the right customer incentives and benefits, you can further increase sales. Many of our customers use promotions to boost online sales, up to 10%—especially around holidays; holiday times and proper promotions are key to food retail.

We understand how important those things are, which is why we made sure our platform makes that all easy. You’ll have no problem implementing a loyalty program, issuing coupons, announcing discounts, and more. 

If you don’t, your competitors will. So start providing your customers with the loyalty programs, coupons, discounts, and promotions they expect.
