What that means for your kitchen

Buckhorn Exchange — Colorado's oldest restaurant since 1893, game meats — is not the same kind of operation as a counter-service kitchen, and it does not have the same technology needs. Formats that different — Steakhouse, then Mediterranean at Rioja — put very different demands on a menu, a ticket rail and a delivery hand-off. A menu covering Farm-to-table, Craft Beer/Gastropub and Mexican/Southwestern puts real pressure on modifiers, prep stations and how orders reach the line. That is the case for owning your own ordering channel in Denver: the menu, the customer list and the margin stay with the restaurant instead of a marketplace.

Delivery and pickup zones in Denver tend to be drawn around areas like RiNo (River North), LoDo and Highlands, plus 2 more across the city. Zones, fees and prep times are set per area, so a Denver restaurant can price a short hop differently from a run across town.
