AI-powered discovery and the rise of third-party delivery. 22% of consumers have used AI to choose a restaurant, yet only 39% of operators have updated their listings to show up in those results. Third-party delivery is now the top driver of new customer acquisition, cited by 30% of restaurant owners.

AI tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity now pull restaurant recommendations from delivery platforms before a customer opens a map. 41.6% of restaurant-related AI queries cite third-party platforms as a source. Restaurants with complete, accurate listings show up. Those without don't.

Cross-channel programs that follow customers across delivery and dine-in. 66% of consumers order more often from restaurants where they're active loyalty members. The shift toward programs that follow customers across both channels is already underway.

The highest-ROI changes don't require a marketing budget. Restaurants like yours could see up to 13% higher average sales by adding photos to more than half your menu items, and up to 6% more by adding descriptions to at least half. Joining DashPass could increase your take-home delivery sales by over 30%.
