Build Direct Orders, Own the Customer Relationship and Keep More Revenue

A new oven? A remodel? A bigger marketing budget? A Lamborghini Countach with a pizza warmer in the passenger seat?

OK, maybe not the Countach. But when third-party delivery commissions can reach 30% of an order, bringing more of those customers back to your own ordering channels can mean serious money staying in your business. So how do you get more of it back?

Join David DeSantis, CEO and Co-Founder of WookAI, and Bill Zonios, owner of Glenside Pizza, on Wednesday, Aug. 19 at 2 p.m. ET for a practical conversation about third-party delivery, converting more customers to direct ordering and keeping more of the revenue your pizzeria earns.

Bill Zonios
Owner/Operator, Glenside Pizza

Bill Zonios grew up in the pizza business and has always believed it’s more than a profession—it’s part of who he is. As owner of Glenside Pizza in Glenside, Pennsylvania, he has helped grow the family business into a thriving, multimillion-dollar independent pizzeria by focusing on exceptional food, customer loyalty and smart marketing rather than relying on third-party delivery platforms.

“We’ve never used 3rd parties once. It was a choice, but I know it was the right one for us.”

A firm believer in continuous improvement, Zonios is always looking for new ways to grow by using his head as much as his hands. He believes that great food and outstanding service are only part of the equation, and that effective marketing is one of the most important ingredients in building a successful, sustainable pizza business.
