What that means for your kitchen

Antonio's — Classic Portuguese dining since 1974 — is not the same kind of operation as a counter-service kitchen, and it does not have the same technology needs. Formats that different — Portuguese, then American at Freestone's City Grill — put very different demands on a menu, a ticket rail and a delivery hand-off. Running Portuguese, Cape Verdean and New England Seafood 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 New Bedford: the menu, the customer list and the margin stay with the restaurant instead of a marketplace.

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