Commission fees quietly erode restaurant margins. Learn how to calculate your real delivery costs and compare them against flat-rate pricing.
Most Houston restaurant owners can quote their food cost percentage without thinking. Far fewer can tell you exactly what commission fees cost them last month in dollars, because the fee comes out per order, in small increments, buried in a payout statement. That's precisely why it's worth doing the math — commission fees that look manageable on any single order add up to a serious line item once you total them across a month of delivery volume.
