To be honest, although the takeaway platform is also relatively profitable, it is really not very profitable. After all, the cost of the take-away industry has always been high, especially the delivery of riders and the purchase of food. The main sources of money are only these aspects: the first aspect is the drawing of foreign sellers. The second aspect is advertising revenue. The third aspect is the marketing and promotion expenses of take-away merchants. The fourth aspect is the utilization of platform stock funds.
For the platform, traffic is the most important. Because take-out is just needed, high frequency, people order food through take-out when they are busy, so that the platform can firmly stick to users, and then make money through other services.
All in all, as long as there is a large amount of stable traffic, the take-away industry will always exist and will never lose money. Moreover, the take-away platform is stable, because as long as there are merchants settled in, they can collect the money from the merchants, deduct the entrance fee or shelf fee, and add some distribution packages to earn the difference and earn a lot of money. The take-away platform can not only earn customers' money, but also earn merchants' money and delivery money. It is not profitable and there is no need to be afraid of losses.
It's hard to say what the merchants say. It depends on how merchants do online operations. Strength is only one aspect you see. If it's 10, mark it as 100 and subtract 50, you can still make money. However, some businesses can't do online operations, and they may sell a single order and lose a single order, or make almost no money. There are small profits but quick turnover, and there are also those who stick to the customer unit price. Each has its own practices, but there are also many small businesses that have too little profit after going to the takeaway platform and honestly return to the entity operation. Discount has advantages and disadvantages. In short, for customers, the bigger the discount, the happier.
