Building on 12 years of experience working with local businesses and understanding what store owners need to be successful online, Promenade’s expanded platforms allow restaurants and beverage stores to launch a branded, search engine optimized-commerce website for online ordering and delivery. Bringing businesses online quickly and easily without the need for a web development team, Promenade’s solutions are tailored to the specific markets they serve:
- Promenade for Beverage Stores provides a complete platform to promote, sell, and fulfill online beverage and liquor sales and encourage strong, ongoing relationships with neighbors and repeat customers. A new large-scale SKU database provides an effective online marketplace for beverage, liquor, and convenience stores with an extensive product selection.
- Promenade for Restaurants allows restaurants to accept and deliver online orders, providing customers with an intuitive, secure shopping experience, without a third-party app. Storefronts showcase a company’s brand and products effectively and include a customizable ordering menu – including an online pizza builder for pizzerias – enhancing customers’ experience and increasing online sales.
“With demand for online ordering and delivery increasing rapidly, many businesses have had to rely on third-party apps that eat into profitability and eliminate customer loyalty,” said Farbod Shoraka, co-founder and CEO, Promenade. “After 12 years of working closely with independent, neighborhood florists, we understand small business pain points, market needs, and what it takes to succeed online. We’re excited to bring these learnings to new markets – providing a solution to restaurants and beverage stores looking to get online and grow their business.”
Promenade’s online marketplace solutions are customizable to showcase a retailer’s brands and products and are built to provide customers with a simple shopping experience. Promenade makes online ordering easy while offering bundles and recommendations that boost online order value. Promenade for Restaurants and Promenade for Beverage Stores offers comprehensive online storefront management, delivery assistance, and email and social media marketing services.
