Sauce and Grubhub Team Up to Give Texas Restaurants Direct Ordering Power

Texas restaurants seeking to strengthen their direct online sales while maintaining reliable delivery now have a new tool at their disposal. Sauce, a first-party ordering, delivery, and retention platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Grubhub, a leading U.S. food-ordering and delivery marketplace. The collaboration, reported by NEWMEDIAWIRE, makes Sauce a direct ordering and delivery partner available to Grubhub merchants, allowing restaurants to support direct sales while leveraging Grubhub's nationwide delivery network.

For Texas restaurants, this means they can now offer customers a seamless ordering experience through Sauce's branded online platform while relying on Grubhub's logistics for fulfillment. The partnership addresses a growing need among restaurants to build direct channels that foster customer loyalty and reduce dependency on third-party marketplaces. By combining Sauce's high-converting direct ordering technology with Grubhub's delivery infrastructure, merchants can retain ownership of customer data and relationships, which is critical for long-term marketing and profitability.

"Restaurants deserve online order and delivery technology that grows their business, strengthens connections with their customers, and delivers a best-in-class ordering experience," said Li-ran Navon, CEO and Co-Founder of Sauce. "We're excited to partner with Grubhub to give restaurant operators a powerful direct ordering solution backed by one of the most trusted delivery networks in the industry."

Eligible restaurants will gain access to Sauce's high-converting branded online ordering platform, direct ordering websites optimized for mobile and SEO, integrated loyalty and AI-powered customer engagement tools, and seamless delivery fulfillment powered by Grubhub. Additionally, exclusive promotional opportunities and onboarding incentives are part of the offering.

For Texas, a state with a vibrant and diverse restaurant industry, this partnership could be a significant boost. Independent restaurants and chains across major metros like Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio often struggle with the high costs of third-party delivery commissions. By using Sauce, they can process direct orders commission-free and then dispatch delivery through Grubhub, potentially saving on fees while still offering delivery. This could lead to higher profit margins and more resources to invest in food quality and customer service.

The collaboration also reflects a broader trend in the restaurant technology space, where integration between ordering platforms and delivery networks is becoming essential. As more consumers expect both convenience and brand connection, solutions that offer both are likely to win. For Texas businesses, adopting such technology could mean the difference between surviving and thriving in a competitive market.
