Beyond Dine-In: How BuildMyStore Helps Restaurants Boost Online Sales
Restaurants in India have always been the heart of food culture. From small family-run eateries to large fine-dining chains, the joy of eating out is unmatched. But today, customers want more than dine-in experiences — they expect home delivery, online ordering, and digital convenience.
Platforms like Zomato and Swiggy have changed the game. While they bring visibility, they also come with high commissions, limited branding, and no customer ownership. Many restaurants feel trapped — they rely on aggregators for orders, yet struggle to build their own loyal customer base.
That’s where BuildMyStore comes in. BuildMyStore is an eCommerce store builder platform (similar to Shopify) designed for Indian sellers. It helps restaurants build their own branded online ordering system, manage deliveries, accept payments, and grow revenue — all in one place.
Why Restaurants Should Go Beyond Aggregators
Aggregator apps solve one problem — they bring orders.
But they create new challenges:
- Commission fees up to 25-30% on every order.
- Customers recognize the aggregator’s brand, not the restaurant.
- No direct access to customer data or buying patterns.
- Limited control over delivery experience.
With BuildMyStore, restaurants can sell directly through their own website and mobile app while still keeping aggregator channels as optional. This way, they increase profits, control their brand, and build customer loyalty.
BuildMyStore Features That Help Restaurants
Branded Ordering Website and Mobile App
- Launch your own restaurant website and app (Android & iOS).
- Customized with your name, logo, and theme colors.
- Customers order directly from your brand.
- Builds trust and long-term relationships.
Example: “Spice Junction App – Order Authentic South Indian Meals Online.”
Smart Order Management
Restaurant kitchens get busy during lunch and dinner rush. BuildMyStore ensures smooth operations:
- All online orders (website, app, POS, and delivery) come into one dashboard.
- Kitchen staff can process orders in sequence with real-time updates.

Rider App & Local Delivery
If you manage your own delivery staff, BuildMyStore’s Rider App helps:
- Riders get orders with location & navigation.

- Manages dine-in, takeaway, and delivery orders.
