Online Ordering System for Sushi and Asian Restaurants

Key Takeaways
Sushi makes up 9% of restaurant types in Germany - often with high basket sizes, so 30% marketplace fees remove 10-18 euros per order before you pay for ingredients.
FoodAmigos offers commission-free direct ordering, your own website and app, and fixed-price delivery trips instead of a percentage of every ticket.
You own customer data and loyalty - restaurants on FoodAmigos see up to 85% repeat order rates among app users when guests order through your brand.
Sushi accounts for 9% of all restaurant types in Germany, making it one of the most common cuisines in the country (Verdict Foodservice, 2024). It is also one of the most expensive to run through a delivery platform.
When a customer orders a sushi set for two and the bill hits 45 euros, Lieferando takes up to 13 of them. That happens on every order, all evening, every weekend. A restaurant doing 25 delivery orders on a Saturday night loses 300 euros in commission before the kitchen closes.
FoodAmigos gives Asian restaurants a direct ordering system with their own website, their own branded app, and zero commission per order. Delivery platforms can still send you drivers. The difference is the order comes through you, not through them.
Why sushi and Asian restaurants pay more in platform commission
Asian cuisine has some of the highest average order values in the German delivery market. A sushi order for two, a Thai dinner for a family, a shared Chinese spread for a group: these orders hit 35-60 euros without much effort. At 30% commission, that is 10-18 euros per order gone before a single ingredient is paid for.
Then there is the menu problem. Sushi restaurants run dozens of rolls, nigiri combinations, bento sets, and hot dishes alongside each other. Customers have specific requests: no cucumber, extra spicy mayo, substitute salmon for avocado. On Lieferando, those instructions get buried in a comment field. In a busy kitchen, they get missed. A wrong sushi order is not just a refund request. It is a one-star review on a profile you spent years building.
How a direct ordering system works for sushi and Asian restaurants
Your own branded ordering page - Customers order from your page, not from a Lieferando listing where you sit next to five competitors. You set the prices and keep the margin. FoodAmigos builds the website and optimizes it for local Google search, so customers searching for sushi delivery in your area find you first.
A menu builder that handles Asian complexity - Set up roll combinations, set menus, portion sizes, and custom modifiers without the workarounds you use on the platforms. If a customer wants extra ginger with their nigiri platter, that instruction arrives at the kitchen clearly. Every time.
Orders to the kitchen, not through a phone call - Every order lands on your kitchen display or printer directly. No calls, no paper slips handed between staff, no shouting across the pass. During a Saturday dinner rush with 30 simultaneous orders, that is worth more than any feature description makes it sound.
Customers who come back to you, not to the platform - When someone orders through Lieferando, Lieferando owns that customer. They hold the data. When someone orders through your page, you can see what they ordered and when they last visited. You can send them a discount voucher on a quiet Tuesday, or reward them for their tenth order. FoodAmigos restaurants see up to 85% repeat order rates among app users, because the loyalty program gives customers a reason to open your app instead of the platform next time.
Delivery without the percentage cut - FoodAmigos has deals with delivery partners including Uber Eats drivers. A driver picks up the order at a fixed price per trip, not a percentage of the order total. Whether the order is 20 euros or 60 euros, the delivery cost stays the same. For Asian restaurants with higher ticket sizes, that difference adds up fast.
What sushi and Asian restaurant owners report with FoodAmigos
Herr Li runs Akiko, an Asian restaurant in Germany. Since switching to FoodAmigos, the restaurant has saved 20.000 euro and doubled in size.
Ye, who runs Jade Palast, now receives 150 additional reservations per month through the platform. 70% of online orders are pickup, which means lower delivery costs and customers actively choosing to come in. Both results started with the same shift: orders going through a direct channel instead of a marketplace.
Both started the same way: paying commission on everything, no customer data, no way to run a promotion. Both ended the same way: a direct channel, a customer list, and the ability to bring people back without paying Lieferando for the privilege.
