◆ Altamonte Springs, Seminole County

Your Altamonte Springs pickup orders still pay app commission. Zayos ends that.

This is a commuter town. The customer who orders from the office on Douglas Avenue is in your parking lot nine minutes later, bag in hand. A delivery marketplace still takes a percentage of that ticket. Your own site takes none of it.

No card. About 60 seconds.

Quick answer

Zayos is commission-free online ordering for Altamonte Springs restaurants. Diners order on your own branded site, you keep 100% of food revenue and tips, and DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub tickets land on the same kitchen tablet through Otter. Flat $499 a month per location.

Why does a pickup order cost me a delivery commission?

Altamonte Springs is small and it is built around a ring. Whoever works in the Douglas Avenue and Central Parkway offices, lives in the apartments around Cranes Roost and Uptown Altamonte, or shops the Altamonte Mall side of SR 436 is a short drive from your door, and they know it. A large share of the tickets you fill for those neighbors are pickup orders. They tap the app, drive over, park, walk in and carry the bag out themselves.

The marketplace still takes its cut of that order. You paid a percentage of the food for a driver who never existed, on a customer who was already standing in your dining room. That is the quiet version of the commission problem, and in a compact suburb it is the common one.

On Zayos a pickup order costs the restaurant nothing. You keep 100% of food revenue and tips, and the diner pays a flat fee at checkout: $0.99 pickup, $2.99 delivery, $0 dine-in, 10% catering. The restaurant never pays a percentage of anything.

What does that add up to over a year on SR 436?

Take a normal Altamonte Springs lunch counter. Say 700 of your monthly orders come through the apps at a $19 average ticket. At a 25% blended rate, meaning the 15% to 30% base marketplace commission plus the delivery, marketing and processing fees stacked on top, that is $3,325 a month, or $39,900 a year, out of one location. Zayos Operator is $499 a month, $5,988 a year, and it does not move when your order count climbs.

Those are model numbers with the inputs shown, not a customer result. The free AI report runs the same arithmetic on your real numbers in about a minute, and the commission calculator lets you push the inputs around yourself.

Do the office parks and the hospital shift order enough to matter?

They are the reason this suburb has a weekday lunch economy at all. The corridors along Douglas Avenue, Central Parkway and Maitland Boulevard produce group orders, standing weekly orders and conference-room drops, and the hospital campus off SR 436 runs around the clock, which puts real order flow into hours when nothing else is open.

Both are served badly by marketplaces. Office towers and hospital campuses have security desks, docks and floors a driver cannot reach, so handoffs fail, food sits, and the one-star lands on your page rather than the app's. Direct ordering fixes the two things that break: the order can be scheduled for the minute it is needed, and the person who placed it is a name and a phone number in your own customer book. If that traffic is a real part of your week, read the catering and group ordering playbook.

Is Zayos live in Altamonte Springs today?

Not yet, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Zayos is built in Fort Lauderdale by Zay Revenue Group. The restaurant live and taking orders on it today is Naya Grill, in Pompano Beach and West Palm Beach, which keeps $48k+/yr in commissions that used to leave the business. We have no customers in Altamonte Springs, Orlando or anywhere else in Central Florida.

We are a Fort Lauderdale company that serves this market. Seminole County operators are onboarding now, most go live in under two weeks. If you want the platform explained before the sales part, start at what is Zayos or how it works.

What else do Altamonte Springs owners ask?

Do I have to leave DoorDash and Uber Eats to stop paying commission on pickup?

No. Keep them running for discovery. On Operator + Marketplace ($599 a month) Otter pulls DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub tickets into the same kitchen tablet as your Zayos direct orders, so nothing changes for the line cook. What changes is where your repeat Altamonte Springs customers land. The neighbor who already drives to you every Thursday moves to your own site, and that order stops paying a percentage.

How do I actually get a regular to switch from the app to my own site?

Three things do most of the work. A QR code at the pickup counter and on the bag, so the switch happens while they are standing there. One tap reorder, because a commuter picking up dinner at 5:40 will not rebuild a cart. And your own customer book, so you can text the person who ordered, which no marketplace will let you do because that contact belongs to them.

My volume is weekday lunch only. Is a $499 plan worth it for that?

Do the arithmetic before you decide. Flat pricing wins for any operator whose app commission already passes $499 a month, which at a 25% blended rate happens at roughly $2,000 of monthly app sales. A weekday lunch counter on Douglas Avenue clears that on office traffic alone. If your volume is under it, the free AI report will say so.

Can I take scheduled orders for an office floor that eats at 11:45 sharp?

Yes. Scheduled ordering, group ordering and catering-style fulfillment are built into the branded site, which is the part the delivery marketplaces never engineered for. An office manager on Central Parkway can place Thursday at 11:45 on Tuesday afternoon, and it drops onto your tablet at the time you need to fire it, not the moment they paid.

How long does it take to be live in Altamonte Springs?

Most operators are live in under two weeks, and the first direct order usually arrives within a week of signing up. Menu build, branded site, kitchen tablet and sales-tax set-aside through DAVO are part of onboarding. There is no setup fee and no contract, plans are month to month per location.
