Delivery apps brought convenience to customers but squeezed restaurant margins to the breaking point. If you feel like you are working harder for less money, you are probably right. Delivery fees are likely the culprit.
It is not just about the commission percentage. It is about the loss of customer data, the inability to remarket freely, and the dependency on a third-party algorithm that decides your fate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which delivery app charges the highest fees?
It varies by market and plan, but third-party delivery apps generally charge between 15% and 30%. The "highest" fee often comes from additional marketing spend required to get visibility on these crowded platforms.
How can I increase my restaurant profits?
The most effective way to increase profits is to convert third-party delivery customers into direct ordering customers, eliminating the middleman commission entirely.
