The recent news of <a href="https://1851franchise.com/details/2705484/Nation-s-Restaurant-News-Yum-partners-with-Grubhub-for-online-ordering-delivery" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">YUM investing $200 million in Grubhub</a> has the foodservice industry talking. The rise of third-party delivery services has been a challenge for&nbsp;restaurants because markups are sometimes as high as 35%. These high fees often leave the restaurant&nbsp;making little to no money on their&nbsp;sales. 

A new <a href="https://www.fastcasual.com/blogs/delivery-will-it-drive-sales-or-gobble-up-profits/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fast-casual-will-delivery-drive-sales-or-gobble-up-profits-2705527" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Fast Casual</a> article begs the question, is delivery worth it?&nbsp;Christopher Sebes, president, Xenial (formerly known as Heartland Commerce), isn&rsquo;t so sure.

&ldquo;There will be an increase in complexity in terms of order management/flow and fulfillment. The cost here is the labor cost of figuring all of this out and making it run smoothly for everyone, including minimizing impact on in-store customers. This last point is an important one, and not to be overlooked. If delivery orders and in-store orders peak at the same time, will store customers walk away or not even bother to come in, in the first place, causing in-store sales to drop off, offsetting the advances you&#39;ve made in your delivery business sales?&rdquo;

If you are planning on implementing a delivery service, it&#39;s important? to track your POS closely so you are aware of the impact it&#39;s having on your business.&nbsp;
