- Hey everyone, I'm Emma from GoDaddy's show, "The Journey",
and I'm joined today by my friend, Darlene,
from GoDaddy's "How To".
And we wanna talk with you today
about adding delivery service options to your business.
- That's right, Emma.
I know that I'm doing my part to stay home
during the COVID-19 crisis,
as are many others that don't have essential jobs,
and using services like Uber Eats, DoorDash
and Grubhub are great ways to still get food delivered right
to my door from my favorite restaurants.
- Yeah, so let's talk about delivery service.
Each of these companies has their own business models,
so, you research to determine
which option works best for you.
Some things to consider are:
One, costs for you and your customers.
Two, delivery areas.
So, like how far do they deliver from your location.
And thirdly, how user friendly is the app
or the website for you and your customer.
- Another thing you can do is check out other restaurants
in your area, and see what they're using.
If you determine that everyone's using a specific service
that means that there may be more drivers in your area.
Oh, and another thing to point out is that I've seen
that a lot of these companies are offering
different promotions right now
to encourage customers to use their services.
I know that I've taken advantage of them for sure.
- Me too, Darlene.
Once you decide which company you wanna use,
you'll work with them to get things set up.
And when your menu displays on their website or app,
you can add links on your website, right Darlene?
- That's right, Emma.
Let me show you how to do that.
We're going to start on Website Builder.
There are a couple of different ways to show
that you're now offering delivery.
You can add the information to the header of your site,
or even call it out in a promotional banner.
To update the header, all you need to do is click the text
you want to update, and make the change.
I'm gonna change my text to say, "Now offering delivery."
When you click on the header,
it opens that section over here on the right,
so you can make any other changes to the image,
accent color or alignment.
We're gonna leave ours as is.
Now let's update our call-to-action button.
We'll click the button in our preview window,
and make the changes in the pane on the right.
We're gonna put Order Now on our button.
Now we're gonna link to the website URL
of the delivery service where our menu displays.
I'm gonna paste in my URL, and then click, Done.
Now when people click a button,
they'll jump over to the delivery company website
with your restaurant displaying
so they can place their order.
If you want to add a promotional banner,
you can do this by going to the Promotional Banner option
in the Header section, which is where we currently are.
In this section, flip the toggle to Show promotion.
Add to your custom message, We're gonna say,
"Now offering delivery through Uber Eats."
Now we wanna add the link to the external website URL.
Click the toggle and paste in the link.
Now click Done.
Let's go preview our site.
We can see our header
and promotional banner front and center.
And they're both advertising
that we're using a delivery service,
and both linked to that site.
Don't forget to publish if you like what you see.
- Thank you Darlene, as always, you do such a great job
of showing us how to do these things.
I hope that more and more restaurants take advantage
of delivery services during these times
when we're all at home.
And I know that I love seeing new restaurants pop-up
here in San Diego, because I love
to support small businesses.
- I hear ya Emma and I feel the same way.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed
that my favorite local restaurant adds their delivery soon.
So thanks for joining me today.
Stay safe.
- My pleasure Darlene.
Stay healthy.
