What is the Grubhub delivery fee, and who pays it?
Two different fees share that name. The restaurant pays Grubhub a delivery fee starting at 10% of the order when Grubhub drivers deliver it, and $0 when the restaurant uses its own drivers. The diner pays a separate delivery fee at checkout. Grubhub describes that diner fee as standard, lower or lowest depending on the plan the restaurant is on.

How much does Grubhub cost if you are ordering food?
A diner pays the menu price plus the delivery fee and any other charges shown at checkout, and those change with the restaurant and the order. Grubhub does not list one diner price on its restaurant pricing page. Grubhub says Grubhub+ members get $0 delivery fees. This page covers what restaurants pay, not what diners pay.

What would you keep on your own site instead?
On your own ordering site there is no commission. Zayos is commission-free online ordering on the restaurant's own branded site. The price is flat: $399, $499 or $599 per location per month, with no setup fee, month to month, no contract. The diner pays a flat $0.99 service fee on pickup and delivery. The restaurant never pays it.
With Zayos the restaurant keeps 100% of food revenue, and 100% of tips on pickup and dine-in. On delivery the tip goes to the driver.
You do not have to leave Grubhub. The $499 Operator + Tablet plan brings Grubhub, DoorDash and Uber Eats orders into one feed with your direct orders, on one kitchen tablet. Restaurants are live on Zayos and taking direct orders today, including Farooj Abo Alabed and Melt N Dip.

- App sales × share moved to direct × (commission rate minus 3% card processing, which a direct order still pays).

- Commission you stop paying, minus what Zayos costs.
- Break-even
- Plan ÷ (average order × share moved to direct × (commission rate minus 3%)).
