Questions restaurant owners ask
How much does DoorDash charge restaurants?
Per DoorDash’s published partner pricing as of 2026, restaurants pay 15% (Basic), 25% (Plus), or 30% (Premier) commission on delivery orders and 6% on pickup orders, with no monthly fee. Commission is charged on the order subtotal.
How do I calculate my DoorDash fees?
Multiply your monthly DoorDash delivery sales by your plan’s commission rate. 300 orders at a $35 average ticket is $10,500 in sales. At the 25% Plus rate, that is $2,625 a month, or $31,500 a year, in commission alone.
How much do delivery apps charge restaurants?
DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub all publish tiered pricing, with delivery commissions commonly running from about 15% up to 30% of the order subtotal depending on the plan, plus payment processing on some tiers. Your statement is the source of truth — this calculator lets you enter your exact rate.
Is this calculator exact?
It is an estimate. The delivery-app side counts commission only, and the direct side assumes $29/month software plus typical card processing of 2.9% + 30¢ per order. Marketplace extras like ad fees or tablet fees would make the gap larger, not smaller.
Should I quit delivery apps entirely?
Usually not — marketplaces still bring in new customers. The play most operators run is to keep them for discovery while moving regulars to direct ordering, where repeat orders stop costing 15–30% each.
What does commission-free direct ordering actually cost?
With Menuline you pay a flat subscription — Starter is $29/month ($1/month for the first 3 months) — plus standard card processing. There is no per-order commission on any plan.
