               only a small fee in most cases
             for restaurant food delivery. But
            many do not know the restaurants
            struggling to stay open are paying

        Be sure that the online ordering system you present will
        be compatible with the POS systems  in  restaurants. To
        stay on top of the current situation: read posts from your
