FAQ
What commission does DoorDash charge restaurants in 2026?
According to DoorDash's US merchant pricing page (checked October 2026), delivery commission is 15% on Basic, 25% on Plus and 30% on Premier, and pickup is 6% on all three plans. DoorDash says these rates include payment processing. Rates can vary by market and contract.
What commission does Uber Eats charge restaurants in 2026?
Uber Eats' US pricing page (checked October 2026) lists a 20% Marketplace Fee on Lite, 25% on Plus and 30% on Premium, plus a 15% Self-delivery plan. Pickup is 7% with validated in-store pricing, otherwise 10%. Plus merchants pay an extra 5% on Uber One orders. Lite starts at 15% in some cities, such as NYC, Philadelphia, Seattle and Los Angeles.
How do I calculate the menu price I need on DoorDash or Uber Eats?
Divide your cost by one minus the commission rate and your target margin: price = food cost ÷ (1 − commission % − target margin %). Example: $4.50 food cost, 30% commission and a 30% target margin gives $4.50 ÷ 0.40 = $11.25. If commission plus margin is 100% or more, no price can work.
Why doesn't adding 30% to my price cover a 30% commission?
Commission is taken from the higher app price, not your original price. A $10 item marked up 30% is $13.00; a 30% commission takes $3.90, leaving $9.10, which is less than $10. To keep $10 you need $10 ÷ 0.70 = $14.29, about a 43% markup.
Can I charge higher prices on delivery apps than in my restaurant?
Many restaurants do set higher delivery prices, and DoorDash says you can. Pickup is different: DoorDash's 6% pickup rate and Uber Eats' 7% pickup rate require app pickup prices to match your in-store prices. Check your merchant agreement and local rules before you change prices.
Are these calculator results exact?
No. Results are estimates based on publicly listed US plan rates and the numbers you enter. Your real fees can differ because of your market, your contract, promotions, ads, taxes, refunds and local fee caps. Use the Custom % option to enter the rate on your statement.
