Delivery marketplaces take a percentage of every order. Put your own order volume, average ticket and commission rate into the sliders below and see what that comes to in a month — and what the same orders would keep on a site you own.
Move the sliders to your own numbers. Nothing here is fixed, including the commission rate.
On those numbers, a marketplace keeps

The commission rate is yours to set — 30% is a headline marketplace figure, not a claim about any one platform. Card processing is 2.9% + 30¢ an order, which you still pay on your own site and which is subtracted above. Months are 4.33 weeks. This estimates commission only; it does not model delivery driver costs, which stay with the marketplace.
Published rate guidance puts DoorDash's marketplace commission at 15% on Basic, 25% on Plus and 30% on Premier (Restolabs, “How Much Does DoorDash Charge Restaurants?”, updated 27 July 2026, read 14 September 2026). Additional per-order fees sit on top of that. The rate is not one number — it moves with the plan, the platform and the market, which is why the calculator above makes it something you set rather than something we assume.
The reason those percentages bite is where they are taken from. A commission is charged on the whole order value, while your profit is whatever survives food cost, labour and rent. So a rate in the twenties or thirties is not a slice off the profit on an order — it comes out of revenue you had already mostly spent.
The commission figures above are quoted from that named source, read at it directly on 14 September 2026 — not measured by us, and not a claim about any platform's current rate card, which only that platform can state. Check your own statements for the rate you are actually paying: that is the number the calculator wants, and the only one that describes your business.
It does not replace delivery. The marketplaces employ the drivers and that cost is genuine. What it replaces is the commission on the orders you would have had anyway — regulars, pickup orders, and people who went looking for you by name and landed on an app instead. Most restaurants keep both, and move the orders they already own onto a site they control.
You also keep the customer. On a marketplace, the order history, the email address and the relationship stay with the platform.
