What that means for your kitchen

Price's Chicken Coop — Cash-only fried chicken since 1962 — is not the same kind of operation as a counter-service kitchen, and it does not have the same technology needs. Formats that different — Fried Chicken, then Soul Food at Mert's Heart & Soul — put very different demands on a menu, a ticket rail and a delivery hand-off. Menus that span Carolina BBQ, Southern and Soul Food 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 Charlotte: the menu, the customer list and the margin stay with the restaurant instead of a marketplace.

Delivery and pickup zones in Charlotte tend to be drawn around areas like NoDa, South End and Plaza Midwood, plus 2 more across the city. Zones, fees and prep times are set per area, so a Charlotte restaurant can price a short hop differently from a run across town.
