Gigable helped Tribal Burger cut high commission costs

Director at Tribal Burger, Paul Catterson, highlighted that Tribal Burger was paying costly commissions for third-party delivery platforms of anywhere between 30% and 32% on orders. Working with Gigable allowed Tribal Burger to succeed in cutting aggregator delivery platform costs without sacrificing quality. “Gigable for us was a game-changer in that regard. It helped us save on our commissions that we were paying for third-party delivery platforms, it helped us control the quality of the driver that we were working with, it helped us control the quality of the food that we were able to sell and it meant that the customers were far happier with Tribal Burger.” Paul Catterson, Director at Tribal Burger.

It was important for the team at Tribal Burger to stay in control of their food service delivery. When they chose Gigable, Tribal Burger had complete control over what delivery drivers they selected to complete deliveries for their restaurant. As a result of choosing the right freelancer for them, a far better working relationship formed between the in-house restaurant team and the drivers delivering orders.

Gigable helped us take control back from the other delivery providers. We had complete control over what time the food left the restaurant [and] when it got to the customer.
