The challenge: Making ordering more convenient

After upgrading their POS system in early 2024, Green Tomato Grill wanted to expand their digital presence with a branded mobile app. Building on their success with DoorDash Online Ordering, they saw an opportunity.

The solution: Custom mobile app with Online Ordering

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. Their 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.

  • Full POS integration: Direct connection with the restaurant's point—of—sale system helps ensure smooth operations.

  • Customer messaging: With the loyalty integration, 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."

Kyle Markt, CEO, Green Tomatoe Grill

Results: Growing digital success

Since launching their mobile app with Online Ordering, Green Tomato Grill has seen significant improvements in several key areas, including a 13% increase in digital orders*, 1.4x higher order frequency from app users***, 47% of digital orders coming from loyalty members**, and 1.25x higher spending from app customers***.

The impact goes beyond just numbers:

  • Customer engagement: The app provides new ways for customers to interact with the brand.

  • Order management: Digital ordering helps improve communication between customers and the kitchen.

  • User experience: Customers can easily browse the menu and track their loyalty rewards in one place.

  • Operations: The digital system helps staff manage orders efficiently.

"DoorDash has always been a great partner helping us scale our business, and launching the mobile app was a game-changer. The mobile app has boosted order volume and allowed us to connect with customers more efficiently, resulting in higher return rates."
