QwikEat vs UberEats: What 30% Commission Actually Costs Your Restaurant
UberEats 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 UberEats for restaurants
UberEats 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 UberEats before you pay for ingredients, staff, rent, or packaging.
For a restaurant processing 300 delivery orders per month at €25 average, UberEats 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.
Completely free, no percentage
Whether the order is €15 or €150, you pay nothing, never a percentage of the sale. No subscription, no commission that scales against you as order values grow.
