DoorDash is good at bringing you new customers. What's expensive is paying them a quarter of every order from people who already know you and would have ordered anyway.
You don't run a fleet. You don't schedule anyone. Redy calls the courier when the food is ready, and the courier is one of Uber's — the same network that delivers Uber Eats.
Same site, same menu, your real prices. They type an address and Redy quotes the courier live — $7.99 up to 5 miles.
The ticket lands on the KDS like any other. When the cook marks it ready, Redy calls the courier. Nobody has to remember.
The same network that delivers Uber Eats. They walk in, take the bag, and leave. No hire, no car insurance, no scheduling.
A tracking map on your page, with your name on it — not somebody else's app. If the delivery gets cancelled, you pay nothing for it.
A regular you already had places a $45 delivery order. Here's where the money ends up, line by line.
$8.26 more per order. At 120 delivery orders a month that's $991 — about $11,900 a year, on orders you were already getting.
DoorDash commission varies by plan (15–30%); 25% is the middle tier. The $2.99 is charged only on deliveries that actually get delivered.
It does. And your diner will notice that your page says $7.99. Here's the honest answer, which happens to also be the good one: DoorDash shows a small delivery fee and inflates the menu 20–30% to cover the commission. The fee is the part you see. The markup is the part you don't.
$4 cheaper — even though the delivery line reads higher. Say it out loud on your page: our menu is our menu, and the delivery line is what the courier actually costs. Nothing is hidden inside the food price.
Comparison uses a 20% menu markup — the low end of the 20–30% range restaurants typically apply on DoorDash to survive the commission. Taxes and tip are the same on both sides, so they're left out.
The customer pays the courier. You pay the platform fee. There is no third number, no monthly minimum and no percentage of your food.
Quoted live at checkout before they pay. They see the real number, not an estimate.
Beyond 10 miles the address falls outside the delivery zone and the customer is offered pickup instead.
That's it. No monthly fee for Delivery, no setup cost, no percentage of the ticket.
Courier prices are quoted by Uber Direct and can move with distance, weather and demand — the customer always sees the live number before paying, never after.
Keep DoorDash for discovery if it earns its keep. Move the regulars to your own page, on Uber's couriers, at 0% commission. Turn it on from your panel — and off again whenever you want.
