Delivery Apps • The Double Charge

UberEats Charges You Twice.

Once in the menu price, which has to absorb the commission. Then again at checkout, in fees that have nothing to do with the food.

Skip both. Order direct and pay for the food, plus one small fee.

The Numbers

Up to 48%, collected from both ends

Marketplace fees are not one charge. They are a set of them, taken from the restaurant and from you on the same transaction. Stacked at their published maximums, it reads like this.

  • Commission taken from the restaurant up to 30%

    Marketplace commission on delivery orders. Published tiers run from roughly 15% at the bottom to 30% at the top.

  • Credit card processing about 3%

    Charged on top of the commission, on the full order value.

  • Fees added to the customer up to 15%

    Service fees, delivery fees and small-order fees stacked onto what you pay.

  • Skimmed off a single order up to 48%

    About 33% comes off the restaurant’s side and up to 15% is added to yours — on one order, to one company.

The Part People Miss

The markup happens before you reach checkout

No restaurant can hand over a quarter to a third of an order and keep the same prices. So across the country, kitchens raise their marketplace menu prices to cover the commission. It is not greed; it is arithmetic.

Which means by the time you see a service fee at checkout, you have already paid part of that commission — quietly, in the price of the dish. Then the delivery fee lands. Then the service fee. Then the tip, which is the only part that reaches a human being who actually did something for you.

You pay the markup, then you pay the fees on top of the markup.

Two Ways To Order

Same tequeños. Different total.

Through UberEats

  • Menu prices lifted to absorb up to 30% commission
  • About 3% more in card processing on top
  • Service and delivery fees added at checkout
  • You pay a percentage of a number that was already inflated
  • Uber is a global company; the margin does not stay here

Direct from Bocados

  • No commission, so no reason to raise the menu price
  • The number on our menu is the number we set
  • One small ordering fee at checkout, and that is the list
  • Delivery within 5 miles of either kitchen
  • The money stays with a Utah family business

Ordering direct removes the commission entirely, which removes the reason to inflate the menu in the first place. What is left is the food, and one small ordering fee.
