Data from 60+ managed restaurant partners · Updated

    Restaurant delivery benchmarks

    Quotable numbers on sales growth, ad returns, and menu conversion on Uber Eats & Thuisbezorgd — aggregated across the restaurants we manage.

    How much can restaurants grow on delivery platforms?

    Across the 60+ restaurant partners OrderLift manages, sales grew 65% on average over six months, measured against each restaurant's pre-engagement baseline. No partner grew less than 30%, and some locations grew more than 600%. Growth comes from menu optimization, weekly owner-approved promotions, and hour-by-hour ad pacing.

    What is a good menu conversion rate on a delivery platform?

    Menu conversion is the share of storefront visitors who place an order. From live data across the brands we manage: under 20% signals a menu that needs work, around 20% is good, 30% and above is excellent, and roughly 40% is best in class — the same benchmarks we publish on our menu optimization page. Well-executed menu rebuilds have doubled conversion for our partners.

    What do industry benchmarks say about delivery menus and offers?

    Platform-reported benchmarks show real dish photos drive up to 20% more clicks and up to 32% more orders, streamlined menus are consistently linked to better sales, and buy-one-get-one offers lift order volume by roughly 39% and order value by roughly 25%. These are industry-wide figures, not OrderLift results.

    How is this data measured?

    All OrderLift figures are aggregates across our managed restaurant partners, measured against each partner's pre-engagement baseline — their performance before we started optimizing — and net of platform fees where stated. We recommend every change, the owner approves it, and we then execute and tune ad pacing. Full context for the aggregate numbers is on our solutions overview.
