The solution: Custom mobile app with DoorDash Commerce Platform

Green Tomato Grill worked with DoorDash to create a custom mobile app that allows them to easily receive and manage more orders whilst curating a 1:1 customer relationship. Branded mobile apps are available with DoorDash Commerce Platform Pro Package.

Green Tomato Grill's mobile app combines several key features of Online Ordering:

  • Custom branding: Brand and identity were important for Green Tomato Grill, and the app was customized to represent the brand.

  • Simple ordering experience: Customers can easily browse the menu and place orders in just a few taps.

  • Advanced marketing: Green Tomato Grill is able to communicate to app users through email and text campaigns to keep customers engaged and coming back for more.

  • Seamless loyalty integration: According to aggregate Online Ordering data from January to July 2023, loyalty customers reorder 80% more often on Online Ordering than non-loyalty customers. The app makes it easy to track rewards and redeem offers.

"Providing a reliable customer experience has always been a top priority for us. The Mobile App made it easier for customers to order and utilize the loyalty program, which translated directly into growth for our business."
