QwikEat vs Uber Eats: What 30% Commission Actually Costs Your Restaurant

Uber Eats charges restaurants 15–30% per order. QwikEat is completely free, with no subscription. Here is what that difference means for your revenue over a month, a quarter, and a year.

The real cost of Uber Eats for restaurants

Uber Eats operates on a commission model: restaurants pay 15% for pickup orders and up to 30% for delivery orders. On a €25 delivery order, that means €7.50 goes to Uber Eats before you pay for ingredients, staff, rent, or packaging.

For a restaurant processing 300 delivery orders per month at €25 average, Uber Eats commissions total €2,250 per month or €27,000 per year. That is money that could go toward better ingredients, staff wages, or your bottom line.

QwikEat takes a different approach: completely free, no subscription, regardless of order value. No percentage, no monthly fee, no hidden fees. The same 300 orders cost you nothing, a difference of €2,250 every month.

FAQ

Should I leave Uber Eats completely?
Not necessarily. Uber Eats is valuable for discovery because new customers find you there. The strategy is to use Uber Eats for visibility but drive repeat customers to your direct QwikEat ordering page where you keep full margin.
Is the food quality better with direct ordering?
For click & collect and dine-in QR orders, yes, the food goes straight from kitchen to customer with no delivery delay. For delivery, it depends on your own delivery setup or use of services like Uber Direct.
Can I use Uber Eats and QwikEat at the same time?
Yes. Most restaurants start by adding QwikEat alongside their existing marketplace presence. As you build direct order volume, you can reduce marketplace dependency at your own pace.
What about the Uber Eats customer base?
Uber Eats gives you access to their marketplace audience, and that is real value. But those customers can also order directly from you if you give them the option. A link on your social media, a QR code in-store, or a card in the Uber Eats delivery bag pointing to your direct ordering page.
Does QwikEat handle delivery?
QwikEat provides the ordering system. For delivery logistics, you can use your own drivers, integrate with Uber Direct, or focus on click & collect and dine-in channels where delivery is not needed.
