The math on Uber Eats fees (and why restaurants are leaving)
Quick breakdown that most restaurant owners don't think about:
If you're doing 100 delivery orders/month on Uber Eats at an average of $35/order, that's $3,500 in revenue. Uber takes 30% — that's $1,050/month gone. $12,600/year.
Now multiply that by 200 orders/month (still small) and you're losing $2,100/month to a platform that doesn't even let you own your customer data.
The worst part? Your customers think they're ordering from Uber, not from you. No repeat business. No loyalty. No direct relationship.
The restaurants figuring this out are building their own ordering systems — their own website, their own app, their own brand. The tech exists. It's not expensive. And the ROI is immediate.
If you're a restaurant owner doing 50+ delivery orders a month, the math is simple: you're overpaying for something you could own.
We built OrderDirect to fix this. First month is free — try it and see the difference on your next statement.
