Restaurant Digital Marketing in Edinburgh

Restaurant digital marketing for Edinburgh venues, where driving people to a delivery platform means buying customers for somebody else. Commission on those orders runs to a substantial share of the bill, so a campaign whose call to action is a third-party app is spending your money to acquire margin that largely goes elsewhere.

Why this comes up

The problem

Every campaign links to the delivery platform and each resulting order gives away a third of its value.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Direct ordering and booking made the destination for anything you pay to promote
  • The economics compared, so the commission difference per order is understood
  • Direct channel made genuinely easier, since it must compete on convenience
  • Repeat ordering encouraged directly rather than through the platform
  • Delivery platforms used for discovery rather than as the campaign destination
  • Customer contact captured where consent allows, as the platform will not share it

Restaurant Digital Marketing in Edinburgh — common questions

Should we abandon delivery platforms?
Rarely, and that is not the argument. They genuinely bring customers who would not otherwise find you, which is worth paying for — what makes no sense is paying separately for advertising that sends people to a channel taking commission on the result.
How much difference does direct ordering make?
The commission, on every order, permanently. On a typical order the difference between direct and platform is substantial, so a modest shift in the proportion ordering directly is worth more than most campaigns produce in additional volume.
Will people order directly?
If it is as easy. They use platforms for convenience rather than loyalty, so a direct channel that works well on a phone, remembers previous orders and does not require an account creation form can hold a meaningful share of repeat custom.
Can we contact platform customers?
Generally not — the platform holds that relationship and does not pass it on, which is part of what you are giving up. Capturing contact details through your own channel, with consent, is how you build something you can market to later.
Do you work with businesses across City of Edinburgh?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh and the surrounding City of Edinburgh area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Edinburgh businesses do you usually work with?
Financial services and data-led work, plus seasonal systems that have to absorb enormous August load without falling over. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Technology, Tourism, Higher Education and Data Science.
Do you cover the areas around Edinburgh?
Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Glasgow. Edinburgh is an urban area of roughly 540,000+, and we take on work across the wider City of Edinburgh region rather than the city boundary alone.
