Here's what's holding your restaurant back — and why it doesn't have to.
Email open rates for restaurants average 20–25%. Direct messaging achieves significantly higher engagement.
When you have a last-minute special or need to fill tables on a slow night, you need to reach customers instantly — not wait for an email to be opened.
Sending the same message to all customers is ineffective. DevourNow's direct messaging supports personalization based on order history and preferences.
