5 Ways to Lower Delivery Commissions Without Negotiating

1. Audit Your Current Plans

Many restaurants are on legacy plans that no longer serve them. Check if you are on a "Plus" or "Premier" plan when a "Basic" plan might suffice for your current visibility needs.

2. Optimize Your Menu Pricing

Don't eat the cost of commission. Legally, in many regions, you are allowed to have different prices for delivery vs. dine-in. Ensure your delivery pricing includes a buffer for commissions.

3. Convert to Direct Ordering

The best way to lower commissions is to pay 0%. Use bag stuffers, QR codes, and loyalty programs to convert third-party customers to your own ordering site.
