Delivery is worth offering if your food travels well and each order leaves a profit after packaging, delivery fees, and extra staff time. More sales alone aren’t enough.

Offering delivery can help if you have spare kitchen capacity and nearby demand, but it's not automatically right. Delivery apps take large commissions, so your profit on each order may shrink. You also need packaging that keeps food good and staff time to manage orders. Start small: test with a limited menu and your own driver or a low-cost service, track whether repeat orders justify the effort, and stop if it hurts dine-in quality or profit.
