Band together with the restaurants in your community to form a local delivery co-op that’s independently owned, operated, and controlled.
Stop dishing out big slices of your revenue to national third-party delivery companies who don’t know your business. Little by little, companies like GrubHub and Uber Eats are doing to independent restaurants what Amazon did to independent retailers. They charge unreasonably high commissions, often higher than a restaurant’s profit margin, and damage your reputation with bad customer service. But we know how you can beat them — together.
Why LoCo?
- Local Collaboration: Work with the local business owners you already know and trust to share the initial franchising cost and build systems together. Profits are then distributed to the community shareholders, not a faceless national corporation.
- Lower Commissions: Unlike the big guys, who continually hike up commissions knowing they’ve got small businesses cornered, your rates will always stay fair, and you get to keep your hard-earned cash.
- Logistical Control: You maintain ownership of your customers’ essential data. You decide what systems work for the businesses in your community. The choices stay in your hands, where they belong.
- Loyal Customers: When your delivery service is locally-operated, your customers can expect faster, more personal, and more accountable customer service—and they can rest at ease knowing their money stays in the community.
Take back control of your delivery options.
As restaurant owners ourselves, we started CHOMP (Iowa City) and NoCo Nosh (Ft. Collins) as cooperatives owned by the restaurants themselves, who then benefit by paying much lower commissions, providing far better customer service, securing their customer data and potentially receiving a return on their investment.
Chomp and Nosh have completely transformed delivery culture in their communities. We created LoCo Cooperatives to help you do the same.
