What that means for your kitchen

Marion's Piazza — Dayton's beloved thin-crust pizza since 1965 — is not the same kind of operation as a counter-service kitchen, and it does not have the same technology needs. Formats that different — Pizza, then Steakhouse at Pine Club — put very different demands on a menu, a ticket rail and a delivery hand-off. Menus that span Ohio Regional, American Comfort and German need modifiers, portion options and prep routing that hold up during a rush — not a template built for one cuisine. That is the case for owning your own ordering channel in Dayton: the menu, the customer list and the margin stay with the restaurant instead of a marketplace.

Delivery and pickup zones in Dayton tend to be drawn around areas like Oregon District, Downtown Dayton and Belmont, plus 3 more across the city. Zones, fees and prep times are set per area, so a Dayton restaurant can price a short hop differently from a run across town.
