Loop, a startup helping to make third-party delivery more profitable for restaurants, raised $6 million in seed funding, the company tells Axios exclusively.
Why it matters: Third-party delivery continues to increase its share of restaurant revenue, but fees and commissions can account for 15% to 30% of sales.
- Restaurants also have to deal with chargebacks and order inaccuracies, which affect 3-4% of all sales from third-party marketplaces.
The big picture: “Restaurants are in a place where they have to look at this revenue stream sustainably and profitably, and they can’t do a patchwork of solutions,” Loop founder and CEO Anand Tumuluru says.
