What the delivery apps actually charge you.
Uber Eats, DoorDash and SkipTheDishes, plan by plan, for Canadian restaurants. Uber's and DoorDash's figures come from their own Canadian pricing pages. SkipTheDishes doesn't publish one, so its numbers are marked as reported.

Every plan, delivery and pickup
Percentages are of the order subtotal, before tax and tip. These are the published Canadian plans for restaurants with up to 75 locations. A large chain may have negotiated something else.

What the apps take from you
Pick your plan and put in last month's sales from your payout statement. The rates fill in from the table above, and you can change them to match your statement.
Pickup is where the fee is hardest to justify
On a pickup order the customer drives to you, and your staff cook it and hand it over. The app sends you the order and takes the payment, and charges 8–15% for that.
The same order through your own website costs you card processing and nothing else. That's why pickup is the easiest part of app sales to bring back: there's no delivery problem to solve, just a regular customer who hasn't been given another way to order.
One $30 pickup order
- Uber Eats at 10%: fee $3.00
- Uber Eats at 15% (prices not matched): fee $4.50
- Your own site, 2.9% + 30¢: fee $1.17
Five ways to pay less, honestly ranked
1. Match your pickup prices
If your app prices are higher than your menu, Uber charges 15% on pickup instead of 10%. Matching them cuts that by a third. It costs nothing, but you give up the markup.
2. Drop a plan
Plus to Lite on Uber is 25% down to 20%. You show up less in the app, so it's worth it if most of your orders come from people who already know you.
3. Deliver yourself
Uber's self-delivery plan is 15%. You need your own drivers, which is a real cost, so run the numbers first.
4. The apps' own order pages
Uber's Webshop charges 2.9% per order and DoorDash's online ordering 3.3% + 30¢. No commission, but it runs on their system and needs an active account with the app. Every option compared.
5. Ordering on your own site
Card processing only, and the customer list is yours to email. It costs money to build, so it only pays off if enough of your customers are regulars. What it costs with me.
Is there a cap in Ontario?
Not one that applies today. Ontario's 2020 cap (15% on delivery, 10% on pickup, 20% in total) is still on the books, but it only applies while a restaurant is banned from indoor dining under a pandemic order. The last of those orders were revoked in April 2022, so the cap doesn't limit any fee in 2026.
British Columbia is the exception. Its 20% cap is permanent, though a restaurant can opt into a higher-priced plan with extra services.
