Common questions
How much commission do food delivery apps charge?+
It varies by platform and by the agreement you signed, but rates commonly sit between 15% and 30% of the order value. Delivery fees, promotional discounts you are asked to fund and card processing charges are usually on top of that.
Does I ❤ Cook Food charge commission?+
No. Customers order through your own page and the money goes to you. There is no commission on orders, and while we are building the platform out with Jamaican cook shops it is free to use.
Is it worth being on a commission platform at all?+
It can be, if it brings you customers you would never have reached. The point of this calculator is not that commission is always wrong, but that you should know the annual number before you agree to it.
