The Real Cost of Delivery Apps
Every time a customer orders through Uber Eats, DoorDash, Deliveroo, or Glovo, your restaurant pays a commission on the order — in the U.S., Uber Eats charges 20% to 30% and DoorDash 15% to 30% on delivery orders, depending on the plan. On a $30 order at 30%, that is $9 going to the platform — not to you. Over a month, that can mean thousands of dollars lost. And the worst part? Those customers belong to the app, not to you.
Your Customers Are Not Yours
When someone orders through a delivery app, you usually do not get their email, phone number, or ordering history. The platform owns the relationship. If they raise their fees or change their algorithm, your sales drop overnight. You have no control and no way to reach your own customers.
The Alternative: Your Own System
Platforms like Bite2u give you your own ordering website, delivery management, QR table ordering, and POS Pro — all for a flat monthly fee with zero per-order commissions. Your customers order directly from you. You keep their data, their loyalty, and 100% of your revenue.
How to Make the Switch
Step 1: Set up your own platform (takes minutes with Bite2u). Step 2: Add your menu, tables, and delivery zones. Step 3: Share your direct link on social media, Google, and in your restaurant. Step 4: Watch orders come in — with $0 in commissions.
The Numbers Speak
A restaurant doing $10,000/month on Uber Eats pays $2,000-3,000 in commissions (20-30%, depending on the plan). With Bite2u at $49.95/month, that same restaurant keeps an extra $1,950-2,950 every month. That is about $23,400-35,400 more per year. The math is simple.
