Forkfluence

Food Influencer Affiliate Platform

Built for Corner Crust Pizza & Brew— North Carolina

OSOF × Client Project

The Problem

30%

Uber Eats takes 30% of every order

Restaurants lose nearly a third of revenue on every delivery app sale.

Influencers drive customers but earn nothing

Creators post about food for free — no attribution, no commission, no incentive.

Restaurants have no affordable marketing channel

Traditional ads are expensive; delivery apps are extractive. There's no middle ground.
