Time to stop the commission leak.

One of the biggest hidden costs in running a restaurant is the commission taken out of every third-party delivery order. Apps like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub can take up to 30% of an order in fees and commissions.

But what if you could see exactly what that commission costs your restaurant every day, in one number, in under a minute?

In this guide, we break down where every delivery dollar actually goes: how much covers food and labor, how much the app keeps, and what's left for you. The answer lies in a simple fill-in commission calculator. Using numbers already on your last restaurant report, it turns your delivery app fees into a real annual figure in 60 seconds.

This guide covers the full math, the four traps keeping diners locked into apps, and a 90-day plan with ready-to-use copy for moving guests onto commission-free direct ordering today.
