Start an internet business offering online takeout food ordering to restaurants!  

What is the Reseller/Private Label Program?

Our program offers you the opportunity to start your own business selling Internet takeout ordering service to restaurants.  Once you sell the service to a restaurant you will earn recurring monthly income as long as that restaurant continues to use the service. 

The ZipToGo name will NOT be displayed anywhere in the system. Your customers will belong to YOU. Our role is simply to provide the technology for your internet business.

Who can benefit from the Reseller Program?

Anyone can be a reseller; however you'll have an advantage if you fit into one of the following groups:

• You already have a restaurant-oriented website. For example, a directory of local restaurants which perhaps already includes takeout menus in HTML or PDF format. With our program, you can immediately offer online ordering to your restaurants for a monthly charge and begin to generate additional revenue from your internet.
• You have an existing internet or offline business which brings you into contact with restaurant owners. For example, a restaurant supply business or a business designing websites or printed restaurant menus. This is a great starting poing for starting an internet business!
• You want to start an internet business from scratch and you have the sales skills and drive to contact restaurant owners in your local area directly. Restaurants are local businesses and many owners do not spend a lot of time online, so the best way to reach them is in person. All you really need to start your internet business is the drive to succeed!

  How to Start an Internet Business

  its easy to start an online business.
  ! We provide everything you need to get started!

How does it work?

1. We'll provide you with a set of web pages which you can either upload to your webserver as is, or modify to fit your needs. As soon as you upload these pages to your server, your customers will be able to learn about the system, try a demo, and sign up for a free trial.
   
   
2. Your customers will be able to log into their account and set up the menu for their restaurant. If you wish, you can provide assistance with this step. Again, only YOUR business name and logo will be displayed throughout the system.
   
   
3. Your customers will be able to use their free trial accounts for up to 30 days and actually take live orders. There is never any charge to you for your customer's free trial accounts.
   
   
4. Once a customer decides to purchase the service, they will be directed to YOUR ordering page to purchase the service. Not sure how to set this up? It's easy!  You can use any ordering system you wish. However, we recommend (and use) 2Checkout.com. This system is very easy and inexpensive to work with. You will be able to automatically bill your customers each month by credit card. We'll provide you with a purchase page that is ready to go, so you don't have to worry about set up. All you need to do is cash your monthly check!
   
   
5. As customers purchase the service from you, you will purchase active accounts from us. You are free to set your own pricing. We sell reseller accounts in blocks of 2, 5 and 10 (please see below for pricing). The cost to you for each account should typically be at most half of what you are charging the customer, so you have a minimum 50% profit margin on each account. Of course, the higher the price you charge restaurants, the greater your profit will be.

How do I get Started?

1. The first step is to purchase your first block of  2 active accounts   at a cost of $29.95/month. There are no other costs or setup fees.
   
   
2. After purchasing your first block of accounts, you'll fill out a short form giving us the basic information we need to set up your account. This will include your business name, logo graphic, email address, etc. Your account set up generally takes at most one business day. In the meantime, you'll be able to download the web pages for your system.
   
   
3. Once your account setup is complete, upload your web pages and your system will be live.

How much does it cost?

The only cost to you is purchasing active accounts from us. In order to participate in the system, you must have a minimum of 2 active accounts at a cost of $29.95/month. As you sell more accounts to your customers, you purchase additional blocks of 2 accounts from us at $29.95 each -- a 50% discount from the retail price we offer on ZipToGo.com.

How much can I charge? How much can I make?

You can charge whatever price you want for the service. ZipToGo charges a price of $29.95 (double the reseller prices) to restaurants. However please keep in mind the following points:

• There will be absolutely no references to ZipToGo anywhere in your system (including the browser's location bar), so your customers will not find their way to ZipToGo.com and see a different price for the same service.
  
  
• Beyond this, you have many opportunities to differentiate your service and justify a higher price:
  
  
  • ZipToGo markets strictly via the Internet. We do not have a ground sales force (which is by far the best way to reach restaurant owners).
  • You have an opportunity to offer additional service to your customers. While our system is designed to be easy to use, the reality is that many restaurant owners/mangers are not comfortable with setting up their own system. As a reseller you can provide assistance setting up the system and menus. Of course if you provide more service then you are justified in charging more--either through higher monthly pricing or through separate charges for set up services.

There is no limit to the income that you can make from our program. One of the main advantages of our system is that is produces recurring revenue (your customers are charged every month, indefinitely).

If you build a business based on single, one-time sales of products or services, then the only way to grow your business is to work harder. With a recurring product, growth happens automatically because the revenue accumulates.

How do I bill my customers (restaurants) for the service?

Since you will be running your own business, you can collect monthy charges from your customers in any way you wish. However, a very easy way to handle the billing is to use 2Checkout.com. This is the service that we use ourselves.

2Checkout.com will automatically bill your customers' credit card every month for whatever amount you specify.  The funds are then deposited directly in your bank account twice per month. You can set up an account almost instantly; there is no need for any special software or scripts on your website. No credit card merchant account is required, so there is no complicated approval process.

The sample website templates that ZipToGo provides resellers are reset to use 2Checkout.com, so if you choose to use this system, you can get it working effortlessly.

What will my branded system look like?

The system that you offer to your customers will look and work exactly like the ZipToGo system, except that it will be branded with your name and logo.

If you have not already tried ZipToGo, you may wish to sign up for a trial account. You can then log into the account and see what the control panel looks like.

The accounts that you offer your customers will look and work exactly the same way, except:

• Your graphic logo will appear instead of the ZipToGo logo, and your business name will be used instead of ZipToGo.
• The yellow background color can be changed as you wish.
• On the restaurant takeout menu, there is a link at the bottom that says "Powered by ZipToGo". On your system this will instead say "Powered by (your business name)" and will have a link to your website.
• Your system will run on the domain "eTakeout.net" rather than ZipToGo.com. etakeout.net has been setup as a separate domain strictly for resellers.  If one of your customers notices this address in their browser and visits the eTakeout.net home page, they will find only a form allowing them to log into their account. This domain contains no information for restaurants or links to ZipToGo.
