Your commissions per year
$18,200
The same orders through your own ordering site: $0 in commissions to you. On Ginger, a flat $1/order platform fee is paid by the customer — not out of your revenue.
Estimates use the platforms' published package rates applied to order subtotals. Actual contracts, promotion spend, and Grubhub's separately itemized payment processing (~3.05% + $0.30 per transaction) will move the real number.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much commission does DoorDash take from restaurants?
DoorDash charges restaurants 15% (Basic), 25% (Plus), or 30% (Premier) of the order subtotal on delivery orders, and 6% on pickup orders across all plans. There are no monthly fees — commissions scale with sales. Rates verified against DoorDash's published pricing in July 2026.
How much does Uber Eats charge restaurants?
Since March 11, 2026, Uber Eats charges 20% (Lite), 25% (Plus — 30% on Uber One member orders), or 30% (Premier) of the order subtotal. Pickup orders are 7% with validated in-store pricing, otherwise 10%. This was Uber Eats' first major rate increase in roughly a decade — many older articles still show the previous 15% Lite rate.
How much does Grubhub charge restaurants?
Grubhub's packages run from roughly 15% (Basic, self-delivery) to about 25-30% (All-Access, with Grubhub drivers and marketing tools). Unlike DoorDash and Uber Eats, Grubhub also charges payment processing separately — approximately 3.05% + $0.30 per transaction on all plans.
Do delivery app commissions include payment processing?
DoorDash and Uber Eats bundle card processing into their commission. Grubhub itemizes it separately at roughly 3.05% + $0.30 per transaction on top of the package commission. Sponsored listings and promotions are extra on all three platforms, which is why real all-in costs are often reported at 30-40% of an order.
How can restaurants avoid delivery app commissions?
Take repeat orders through your own website instead of the marketplace. Direct online ordering has no marketplace commission — on Ginger, online ordering costs the restaurant $0, with a flat $1 platform fee per order paid by the customer. Many restaurants keep a marketplace listing for discovering new customers and move regulars to direct ordering, where the margin stays in the restaurant.
See What $0 Commission Looks Like
Ginger gives every restaurant its own ordering website — orders flow straight to the POS and kitchen. $0/month to the restaurant; the $1/order platform fee is paid by the customer. Staying on the delivery apps too? Those orders flow directly into the same POS — no platform tablets.
