What a Failed Order Actually Costs You Over Time and Across Locations

A failed order looks like a rounding error — until you multiply it across locations. See what a 0.5% lift in order success is worth to you.

June 1, 2026

A single failed third-party order feels like a rounding error. A $35 ticket, a refund, a frustrated guest, might seem like a small issue relative to your whole operation, until you multiply it by 300 locations, 365 days, and every delivery platform you integrate with.

Across the industry, roughly 0.7% of third-party orders fail before they reach the line. Qu's failure rate is 0.2%. That 0.5% lift makes a big impact over time. The calculator below takes your monthly third-party volume and average order value and shows what closing that gap is worth to you — in monthly revenue, annual revenue, and orders saved.

Input your numbers into the calculator below to see what that lift would mean for your business.
