Restaurant Online Ordering Without the Commission

A Shop Doing $10,000 a Month

250 delivery orders · $40 in-house ticket · $6.99 delivery

Your customer pays about $49 here against roughly $60 on the app, so they save on every order while you keep more of it. Card processing goes to your own merchant account at your own rate, not to us — there is no per-order cut of any kind here. The 25% above is the commission DoorDash and Uber Eats take from you, not anything we charge. Their rates run roughly 15% to 30% depending on the plan you are on, so your own figure will differ. Bring one month of your DoorDash or Uber Eats statements and the real number gets worked out before you commit to anything.

And the People Who Have Never Heard of You

Moving your regulars off the apps is the money on the table today. The other half is the search nobody thinks about: somebody who doesn’t know your name typing what they want to eat and where they want to eat it.

Those searches are won with real pages for what you actually sell, in the neighborhoods you actually serve — not a one-page site with a PDF menu on it. That is the same structure behind every build in the portfolio: The Maryland Drone Company at #1 for “Maryland drone company,” Baltimore Courier Co. at #1 for “Baltimore legal courier” and holding the top two organic spots for “Baltimore title courier,” and South Florida Portable Restrooms at #1 for “porta potty rentals west palm beach” — that last one in a market full of national competitors, days after launch.

Worth knowing if you go check: Google weights results by where the searcher is standing. Searching “porta potty rentals west palm beach” from Baltimore will not show you the same page a customer in Palm Beach County sees. Local results are local, which is the entire point of building them properly.

Nobody can promise you a position on Google, and anyone who does is selling something — but you can look at the work and judge it for yourself.

Your Customer Pays Less, Too

The first objection is always the delivery fee: “nobody will pay $9 for delivery.” But look at what that same customer is paying on the app right now. Most independents raise their app menu prices to survive the commission, and the customer gets charged a service fee and a delivery fee on top of the marked-up food.

On your own site you are not paying a commission, so you can list your real menu price — the one you charge people who walk in the door. Even with the delivery run passed through at cost, the total in front of the customer is frequently lower than the app checkout. That is a reason for them to switch that has nothing to do with loyalty.

The Pricing Play Most Owners Miss

Set your online menu a little above your in-house prices and charge a modest delivery fee, and the order still lands well under what the same food costs on the app, because you are not covering a 25% commission on top of it. The customer sees cheaper food and a smaller delivery fee. You keep a better margin than you were already making, and you keep the customer.

Here is how that looks with a $6.99 delivery fee and your online menu set about 5% above your in-house prices.

Same 250 orders, same kitchen, same drivers. After paying the drivers, card processing and the monthly, you are ahead by more than a thousand a month and your customer is paying less than they pay the app. How far you push the menu and the delivery fee is your call, and we will run your real numbers with you before anything goes live.

Your Launch Kit Comes With It

Every build includes a run of custom QR bag-seal stickers — the tamper seals you already put on delivery orders, printed with your site and a first-order discount code. Every bag that leaves your kitchen, app order or not, becomes an invitation to order direct next time. We hand you the reorder source too, so you can restock them yourself at cost whenever you want.

How We Compare

Published pricing as of mid-2026. Every platform scopes things differently, so check the current numbers below for yourself before you decide. Come the end of the day, what comes out of every order, what you are paying three years from now, and what you actually own in the end is what matters. We’re here to offer you your own high-tech professional stack website that makes you the most money with the best overall experience.

Cost figures assume a shop running $10,000 a month in delivery orders, and include a website, since you need one either way. Card processing is left out of every column because it applies on all of them. Swap in your own volume and the numbers move, but the shape of them does not.

Read that three-year row closely. Everywhere else on that list you are renting: pay for three years and you still have no site of your own, no rankings you control, and nothing to take with you. Here the same money buys a custom site that is yours outright, built and ranked for your own neighborhood, with the developer who built it answering the phone.
