Restaurant Online Ordering in Memphis

Eating out in Memphis

The holy land of dry-rubbed ribs and pulled pork where barbecue is practiced as an art form. The mix spans Barbecue, Soul Food and Southern, with Memphis Dry Rub Ribs and Pulled Pork among the dishes that define eating in Memphis. Memphis barbecue is characterized by dry-rubbed ribs and pulled pork shoulder, often served with a tangy tomato-based sauce on the side. The city's food is inseparable from its blues heritage and African American culinary traditions.

What that means for your kitchen

Central BBQ — Competition-quality BBQ for the masses — is not the same kind of operation as a counter-service kitchen, and it does not have the same technology needs. Formats that different — Barbecue, then Barbecue at Rendezvous — put very different demands on a menu, a ticket rail and a delivery hand-off. Running Barbecue, Soul Food and Southern off one system means modifier groups and kitchen routing have to be genuinely flexible. That is the case for owning your own ordering channel in Memphis: the menu, the customer list and the margin stay with the restaurant instead of a marketplace.

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