Takeaway commission calculator

As of 13 October 2026, Just Eat's UK restaurant partner page lists 14% + VAT commission when you deliver with your own drivers and 30% + VAT when Just Eat delivers. Uber Eats' UK merchant pricing page lists 13% (excluding VAT) for pick-up and 13% for self-delivery, and 30% when Uber delivers (33% for Uber One members). Deliveroo's restaurant site didn't show a commission rate when I checked. The rate on your own invoice is the one that counts.

Put in your own numbers. The calculator shows roughly what platform commission costs you each month, and how many orders would need to come to you directly for DingOrder's £59 a month to pay for itself. If the answer is that it doesn't, the calculator says so.

Platform commission on these orders£364Stripe card fee if paid by card on your website−£65DingOrder monthly fee−£59Difference each month, if every one of these orders came to you directly£240With 30 platform orders a week, the commission comes to about £364 a month (at the rate you entered).If every one of these orders came to your own website instead and was paid by card, you'd keep about £240 a month after Stripe's card fee and the £59 monthly fee.Not every order will move. The £59 monthly fee pays for itself once you get about 6 orders a week directly instead of through the app, paid by card (after Stripe's 1.5% + 20p card fee).Stripe's card fee, shown separately: about £0.50 on a £20 card order (1.5% + 20p on standard UK cards, checked 13 October 2026), so about £65 a month if all these orders were paid by card. Cash orders have no Stripe fee.This is an estimate from your numbers, not a promise. The commission is worked out at the rate you enter (the apps publish theirs before VAT). It leaves out the one-off £199 for the kitchen printer and setup, and your own delivery costs.

How the sum works

Commission per order
= your average order value × the commission %.
Stripe's card fee per order
= 1.5% of the order + 20p, the rate for standard UK cards on Stripe's UK pricing page (checked 13 October 2026). Orders paid by card on your website carry this fee, so the calculator takes it off. Cash orders don't carry it.
Monthly figures
use 52 weeks ÷ 12 months = 4.33 weeks a month.
Then £59 a month, DingOrder's monthly fee, comes off.
Break-even
is how many orders a week need to come to you directly for the money saved to cover the £59 monthly fee.

A worked example

With the starting numbers (30 orders a week, £20 average order, 14% commission):

Commission: £2.80 an order, about £364 a month.
Stripe's card fee if all 30 were paid by card on your website: 50p an order, about £65 a month.
Monthly fee: £59.
Difference: about £240 a month, if every one of those orders moved.
Break-even: about 6 orders a week need to come to you directly.

And when it doesn't add up: with 3 orders a week at the same prices, the £59 monthly fee costs about £29 a month more than it saves. The calculator shows that too.

Where the starting numbers come from

£20 average order: the example Just Eat uses on its own restaurant partner page ("on a £20 order"), checked 13 October 2026.
14% commission: Just Eat's rate when you deliver with your own drivers is 14% + VAT on the same page; the calculator leaves VAT out.
30 orders a week: an example only. I found no reliable public figure for a typical shop. Use your own.

The same Uber Eats merchant pricing page also lists a one-off activation fee of £650 (excl. VAT, checked 13 October 2026). Deliveroo's restaurant site didn't show commission rates when I checked, so use the rate on your Deliveroo invoice. Rates can differ by plan and contract: the rate on your own invoice is the one that counts.

DingOrder isn't connected with Just Eat, Uber Eats or Deliveroo.

What the calculator leaves out

Not every order will move. Some customers will keep using the apps. That's why the break-even number matters more than the "every order" figure.
Your own delivery costs. If a platform delivers for you today, moving those orders to your website means you deliver them yourself, and that costs money.
VAT. Just Eat's and Uber Eats' rates are before VAT, and the calculator uses them as they are.
The one-off £199 for your kitchen printer and setup.
Other card types. Premium UK cards cost 2.8% + 20p with Stripe, and cards from abroad cost more.
Anything else in your platform contract.

What DingOrder is

DingOrder (叮单) is an online ordering system for independent takeaways and small restaurants in the UK, with no commission per order. Each shop gets its own ordering website, on a web address ending in .web.app (for example yourshop.web.app) or its own domain. Customers order collection, delivery or eat-in (by scanning a QR code on the table) on an ordering page in English or Chinese, which opens in the language of the customer's phone, and each order prints automatically on the kitchen printer. Shops pay a one-off fee for the kitchen printer and setup, then a flat monthly fee; card payments are processed by Stripe, which charges its own card fees. DingOrder is run from London: shops in London are set up in person, and shops elsewhere in the UK remotely.

Calculator questions

Why does the calculator show a negative number?

The calculator shows a negative number because sometimes the £59 monthly fee costs more than it saves. If you take only a few orders a week through the apps, DingOrder may not be worth it for you, and you should know that before you talk to me.

Why not assume every order moves to my website?

Because it won't happen, so the calculator doesn't rely on it. Some customers will keep ordering on the apps. The break-even line tells you how many need to move for the £59 monthly fee to pay for itself.

Why is Stripe's fee in the sum?

Stripe's fee is in the sum because an order paid by card on your website carries Stripe's card fee. Leaving it out would make the saving look bigger than it is.
