On average an RDS on their BEST MARKETING DAY will take 10-20% of their orders over the internet. Again, that's on their BEST day.

Sure, a sharp looking web site has a much better chance at taking a web order than a shoddy-looking one. But by and large, the numbers ring true across the board: 10-20%. That means that if you take 50 orders a day in your call center, you can expect to take about 5-10 a day over the internet.

The general opinion is that the customer base at large doesn't think of ordering food on-line that same way they think about ordering a book on-line, or bidding on an auction on-line. Generally customers want to talk to a REAL person over the telephone to discuss their needs and wants surrounding their dining experience.

This creates a serious problem for the RDS owner. Every market has a need to produce an on-line web presence for their customer base.... but they can't justify spending thousands of dollars for a web server, thousands more for web site development, not to mention the high monthly cost for a high-speed internet pipe... only to cater to roughly 10% of their potential customer base.

DataWedge has the answer. We have created an on-line ordering web module that we take care of. It integrates with DMS... no re-keying your menu data. No re-keying incoming web orders.  We host it for you, take care of code updates, web maintenance... at a fraction of the cost it would take you to build your own.

Now an RDS can maintain a professional web presence without paying the price for one. Our system is based upon a "pay as you go system", meaning that you pay DataWedge on a per-order basis in exchange for using the web engine. 

Want to update your menus on the web site?  No problem.  Click a single button, and DMS refreshes the internet web module with all of your  latest Restaurant, Menu, and Delivery Fee data.

In addition to keeping costs low, the "pay as you go" system also offers some serious advantages and Value-Add Services to the RDS organizations that utilize our web module.

• On-going web development. Transaction fees go back in to the development pot... any individual RDS pays only for a tiny fraction for the constant web-development being done behind the scenes... all maintained by DataWedge.
• Free web marketing services. Since the system is based upon a per-transaction fee, it is in DataWedge's obvious best interest to market and re-market your web site in an effort to generate as much business as we can for your operation.  Got a new restaurant?  Let us send one of our e-mail advertisements out to your established web customers.
• Quick Template creation. Don't have a current web site, but want to get on the internet quickly? No problem.  We have a template that we issue free of charge to any DMS customer that needs to get up and running quickly, but doesn't have a web presence. Just give us your RDS logos and we can run from there.
• Snap-in web module. Already have an existing web site?  No problem. We can offer our web engine as a snap in module to your existing web site. With just a few easy steps, you can wrap our web engine right inside your existing web page. We can even match your existing color scheme.

Chances are you have seen our engine in use by other RDS's, and may have already used one to place a food order for you or someone else.

DataWedge is the leader in providing software for the RDS industry.
