Why this exists
A pickup order placed through DoorDash ended up costing nearly 30% more than ordering in-store.
That's when it became clear — customers want convenience, but not the markup. And restaurants shouldn't have to give up their margins to provide it.
The real cost
What third-party apps actually cost
Most platforms charge 15–30% per order. After processing fees and promos, many restaurants lose 20–35% of every sale.
Example: $10,000/month in pickup & delivery
That's $18,000–$36,000 per year in fees.
Platform comparison:
| Platform | Commission | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DoorDash | 15–30% | Higher tiers = more visibility |
| Uber Eats | 15–30% | Variable fees |
| Grubhub | 10–30% | Similar model |
| CartaTap | 0% | Flat monthly fee |
