Common questions

Frequently asked

How much commission do delivery apps charge in Australia?
It varies by platform and by plan. Marketplace delivery on the big apps is commonly reported between 25 and 35% per order, with pickup only arrangements lower. Menulog is often reported around 14%. Your own merchant agreement is the only figure that actually matters, so check it.
Does this mean I should stop using delivery apps?
No. Delivery apps provide a courier network and marketplace discovery that are genuinely useful, especially for finding new customers. The point is that your regulars, the ones who already know you, do not need to arrive through a 30% toll. Use the apps for reach and your own page for the people who come back.
What does OrderWithMe cost compared to delivery apps?
1.9% per order, no monthly fee and no setup fee. Standard Stripe processing of roughly 1.7% + 30c applies separately, the same fee you would pay taking a card over the counter.
