Your Clermont customers live miles away. Zayos stops you paying a percentage for the drive.
Out here the houses came before the restaurants. A marketplace takes a share of the food for a long run it may not even have a driver for, and when the bag arrives cold the review lands on your page, not theirs.
No card. About 60 seconds.
Zayos is commission-free online ordering for Clermont, Florida restaurants. Diners order on your own branded site, you keep 100% of food revenue and tips, delivery runs through multi-network dispatch, and marketplace tickets still land on one kitchen tablet through Otter. Flat $499 a month per location.
Why does a four mile delivery cost a Clermont restaurant twice?
Clermont grew the way exurbs grow. Subdivisions filled the hills off US 27 and Highway 50 years before the restaurants caught up, so your customer is regularly three, five, sometimes eight miles out, on roads with no shortcut. That geography changes the economics of every online order you take.
The first cost is obvious: a marketplace takes its percentage of the food no matter how far the driver goes. The second is the one operators lose sleep over. The food reaches the house twenty five minutes after it left, and the diner rates the restaurant, not the app. You paid for the delivery, then paid again with your rating.
On Zayos the restaurant pays no percentage on any order. 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. A long run costs the kitchen no more than a short one, because nothing you pay is tied to the ticket.
What does that add up to over a year on Highway 50?
Model it with the inputs visible, because a number without its basis is worth nothing. Say 600 of your monthly orders come through the apps at a $28 average ticket, which is the family sized shape most Clermont kitchens see. At a 26% blended rate, meaning the 15% to 30% base marketplace commission plus delivery, marketing and processing fees stacked on top, that is $4,368 a month, roughly $52,400 a year, from one location.
Zayos Operator is $499 a month, $5,988 a year, and it does not move when a busy season arrives. That is a model, not a customer result. Put your own count and ticket into the free AI report or the commission calculator and you get your own number instead of somebody else's.
Who delivers the order when the app has nobody on US 27?
This is the practical question in an exurb, and it is a fair one. Driver supply is thinner here than on the Orlando side of the county line, and a single marketplace can only offer you its own pool. When that pool is empty on a Tuesday night, your order sits.
A direct delivery order on Zayos goes through Otter dispatch, which cascades across DoorDash Drive, Uber Direct, Relay, Roadie and more than a dozen other courier networks, falling back automatically when one has nobody available. Coverage spans most of the country. If an address still falls outside it, the order hands off to your own courier with the same ticket and the same workflow.
How do you sell to the US 27 communities and the downtown morning trade?
South Lake County has a large active adult population in the gated communities off US 27, and they are not a delivery market. They are a scheduled pickup and large order market: a standing Friday order, a clubhouse tray, a family of six on a Sunday. Most would rather drive over at 11:30 than wait on a stranger, and plenty of them will not install another app for any reason.
That is a market a website serves and an app does not. Your Zayos ordering site opens from a text or a bookmark, needs no download, takes a pickup time and remembers last week's order. The same tools carry the other end of town, the Montrose Street and Waterfront Park morning trade off the South Lake Trail, where coffee and bakery run on regulars who come back three or four times a week. If that is your side of the business, read the cafe and bakery playbook.
Is Zayos live in Clermont today?
No. Zayos is built in Fort Lauderdale by Zay Revenue Group, and the one 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 Clermont, in Orlando, or anywhere in Central Florida. We are a Fort Lauderdale company that serves this market, which is a different sentence and the only honest one.
Lake County operators are onboarding now, most live in under two weeks, first direct order usually inside a week. For the plain explanation first, read what is Zayos or how it works.
