What's 3rd-Party Delivery Costing You?
Price out menu items for delivery. Enter your commission rate and any promo fees you absorb, then see the real profit and profit margin left on each item after the platform takes its cut.
Delivery commission
Typical 3rd-party delivery commissions run 15–30% of the order total, depending on platform and service tier.
What you actually absorb per order for platform promos like “$5 off $25.” Use the amount that comes out of your payout, not the full discount if the platform covers part of it.

Many operators offset delivery commissions by pricing delivery-only menu items 10–20% higher than in-house prices, or by steering guests toward lower-fee ordering channels like a direct online order.
