DoorDash Uber Eats Grubhub Menu Pricing Intelligence USA | Actowiz

 

Industry

Food Delivery / Restaurant Tech

Geography

United States — 100 cities across 35 states

Data Coverage

Menu items, prices, modifiers, promo offers, delivery fees, ETA, ratings

Client Overview

The client operates 1,200+ restaurant locations across 35 US states under multiple QSR and fast-casual brands. With third-party delivery platforms accounting for 38% of digital orders, pricing inconsistencies across DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub were creating customer complaints, margin leakage, and brand-trust erosion.

Each platform took different commission rates — and franchisees often adjusted prices unilaterally, leading to chaos at the brand level.

Business Challenges

Multi-Platform Menu Inconsistency

Same menu item priced differently across DoorDash vs Uber Eats vs Grubhub — sometimes by $2–$4.

Franchisee Compliance

Independent franchisees set their own delivery prices, violating brand pricing standards.

Competitor Promo Detection

Competing chains ran promo offers (free delivery, $5 off, BOGO) that the client couldn't track in real-time.

Delivery Fee & ETA Visibility

Delivery fees and promised ETAs impacted conversion — but were opaque to brand HQ.

Project Objectives

The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:

  • Track 1,200+ locations across 3 delivery platforms

  • Monitor 400+ menu items per location for price consistency

  • Detect competitor promo offers within 1 hour of launch

  • Capture delivery fees, service fees & promised ETAs

  • Flag franchisee pricing violations against brand guidelines

Actowiz Solutions Approach

Geo-Targeted Crawl Architecture

Built crawlers that simulated 100 city-level customer locations to capture city-specific menu pricing, fees, and ETAs across all 3 platforms.

Menu Item Normalization

Mapped item-level variations (e.g., 'Large Pepperoni' vs 'Large Pep Pizza') to a master item taxonomy enabling cross-platform comparison.

Franchisee Compliance Engine

Compared every franchisee location's prices against brand-approved pricing bands; violations auto-routed to brand compliance team.

Competitor Tracking

Tracked the top 5 competing chains per market — their menus, promos, fees, and ratings — feeding into the client's competitive intelligence dashboard.

Real-Time Delivery

Hourly refresh during peak meal windows (11AM-2PM, 5PM-9PM), with anomaly alerts pushed to brand & franchise managers via Slack.
