What do delivery apps cost your restaurant?

60%

That is 1,800 app orders a month per location (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub).

30%

15% to 30% is the base commission. 25% to 35% is the blended real cost once delivery, marketing and processing fees stack. The default, 30%, is the top of the base range and the middle of the blended one. Your payout statement has your real number. Read my delivery statement

30%

An estimate you set, not a promise. It starts at a cautious 30%. How fast regulars move depends on your customers, your bag inserts and your offers. Move it to see your own case.

Plans are per location, per month. No setup fee, month to month.

Break-even

0 app orders a month per location pays for the plan.

The $0.99 service fee on pickup and delivery is paid by the diner, so it is not a restaurant cost and is not in these numbers.
