The Home Place is a family-owned deli and shop in Georgetown, Ohio (US) that provides a wide variety of fresh baked goods, salads, sandwiches, party trays, and refreshments.
The Home Place’s story begins in November 2006. They started by selling honey, noodles, and granola, but also cookies and cinnamon rolls, and eventually became a community staple deli and fresh goods store.
How The Home Place started with GloriaFood
At the beginning of 2024, the owners wanted to take the business online to both cater to their existing clients more easily and expand to other communities:
GloriaFood has enabled us to integrate digital orders at a zero-dollar initial investment. As the demand grew, we utilized their mobile app service in an effort to make it more seamless, and we couldn’t be more pleased!
An enhanced ordering experience with the mobile Branded App
After a few months of showcasing and selling their selection of products online through the GloriaFood widget, the owners wanted to provide their customers with a more customized experience.
They wanted a seamless and convenient way for their clients to browse the menu and place orders, all from their phones.
Thus, they chose the Branded App from GloriaFood:
“With the app, The Home Place gets put right in front of our customer’s eyes. It’s there, no use in going to any website or Facebook page. The seamlessness has been a major advantage compared to other competitors in our area.” Carl S., owner of The Home Place.
Minimal maintenance, maximum results
When online orders are easily managed, all that a business owner has to do is check reports to optimize sales.
GloriaFood’s restaurant reports section captures essential information such as sales patterns, best-performing items, or payment method preferences. Thus, it enables businesses to plan promotions and adjust inventory in order to maximize sales.
Restaurant owners can also use report data to understand how well each sales channel performs and how to allocate resources to make the restaurant more profitable.
When asked how much time they put into maintaining their GloriaFood restaurant account, Carl S., owner of The Home Place, answered:
Since our account has been open and we’ve established our menu, we only managed our dashboard to retrieve reports and to record what sells best. No other maintenance has been needed.
The Home Place recommends GloriaFood to friends & colleagues
As a deli centered on family values, it is no wonder that The Home Place owners would first talk to close friends and colleagues about finding an excellent online ordering system.
As such, GloriaFood remains at the core of a business where food fuels friendship and community:
When we have friends and colleagues asking us about the platform we use, it’s not difficult to recommend GloriaFood. When there’s absolutely no initial cost involved, it’s a done deal.
P.S.: The Home Place’s inviting photos would make anyone enter their store and try at least a sandwich for a cozy afternoon. Is there something that caught your eye? 😊
