Forty locations. Loyal regulars who order weekly. And a rewards program currently fragmented across DoorDash, Uber Eats, and a Just Salad app that costs more to maintain than it returns.
Healthy fast-casual lives or dies by the customer who orders 3+ times a month. Right now, third parties own that signal.
The same Just Salad regular has loyalty points on DoorDash, Uber Eats, and your branded app. None of them talk.
Every aggregator order leaves 30-40% on the table. Direct ordering recaptures it and gives you the email + phone.
