12 Best Restaurant Delivery Services in 2026

DoorDash is the biggest delivery marketplace in the US, holding roughly two-thirds of the market, so it is where the customers already are. The Basic plan costs 15% of each delivery order's subtotal, with pickup at 6%, and there is no monthly fee, signup fee or cancellation fee. Plus costs 25% and adds DashPass customers and a wider delivery area; Premier costs 30% and adds the widest reach plus an order guarantee.

The commission covers card processing, so there is no separate processing line on marketplace orders. The catch is that the customer belongs to DoorDash: you do not get their contact details, and promotions and sponsored listings sit on top of the commission. Pick DoorDash first when reach matters most; add a direct channel later to win repeat orders back.

Uber Eats is the second-largest US delivery marketplace and the strongest option where Uber's rider network is dense. The Lite plan costs 20% of each delivery order after a March 2026 rise from 15%, with pickup at 7% when your menu prices match your in-store prices. Plus costs 25% and Premium costs 30%, with lower customer delivery fees and Uber One member benefits on the higher plans.

There is no monthly fee, and Plus and Premium start at 0% commission for the first 30 days. The catch is the Uber One surcharge: Plus-plan orders from Uber One members cost an extra 5%, taking those orders to 30%. Pick Uber Eats alongside DoorDash when your city has strong Uber coverage; the two together cover most US delivery demand.

Grubhub is the oldest of the big three US marketplaces and the cheapest at the entry tier, with a 5% marketing commission on its Basic plan. The catch is that the 5% is only the marketing slice: Grubhub's drivers add a delivery fee starting at 10%, and card processing of 3.05% plus $0.30 per order sits on top, so a Basic delivery order costs about 15% before any advertising.

Plus costs 15% marketing commission and All-access costs 20%, each with the same delivery and processing fees on top. Grubhub also runs Seamless, so one listing reaches both apps, and its Direct product lets you take commission-free orders on your own site. Pick Grubhub when you want the lowest entry commission and strong corporate and campus ordering in your city.

ChowNow sells commission-free direct ordering: your own website, branded app and marketplace listing, with no percentage taken from any order. The Launch plan costs $249 a month on monthly billing or $229 billed annually, and includes a branded mobile app on every plan, plus email and SMS marketing, loyalty and 24/7 support. Card processing is 2.95% plus $0.29 per transaction, and setup runs $119 to $499.

The trade-off is the fixed monthly bill: at $249 a month you need enough direct orders to beat the commission you would pay a marketplace, which works out to roughly 20 orders a month shifted from a 25% platform at a $40 average ticket. Pick ChowNow when you already have repeat customers and want to keep them — and their data — on your own channels.

Toast is the all-in-one restaurant platform: point of sale, payments, online ordering, kitchen display and reporting in one system used by about 180,000 locations. The Point of Sale plan costs $69 a month and includes Toast Online Ordering, so guests order commission-free from your own site. The Starter Kit is $0 a month, but it has no online ordering and charges higher processing rates.

The catch is the ecosystem: you must use Toast's payment processing, hardware is Toast-only, and add-ons stack up — online ordering is $75 a month on Starter, loyalty $50, gift cards $50. Processing runs 2.49% plus 15 cents in person and 3.50% plus 15 cents online. Pick Toast when you want the POS and the ordering in one system rather than bolting tools together.

Slice is built for independent pizzerias: a branded website, a listing in the Slice app, Google listing optimization, loyalty and automated marketing in one membership. The Online Growth plan costs $39 a month plus $3.00 per order, and the Complete Growth plan costs $99 a month plus $2.00 per order, with a $1,000 implementation fee. Card processing is 2.90% plus $0.30, and there is no per-order fee on orders under $10.

Slice also offers Flex Delivery, which books Uber and DoorDash drivers on demand from $6.90 per order. The catch is the fit: Slice is built around pizza shops, so other cuisines get less from it, and the $1,000 implementation fee on the Complete plan is easy to miss. Pick Slice when pizza is the business and you want your own ordering plus the app's pizza-seeking customers.

Menufy is a managed direct-ordering service for independent restaurants: it builds and runs your custom website, handles online ordering, and adds automated marketing, loyalty and Google review management. It costs $179 a month month-to-month or $149 a month on a 12-month agreement, with no per-order commission and no setup fee published. Menufy serves more than 25,000 independent restaurants across the US.

The managed part is the point: a Success Manager reviews results with you monthly, and the review tool asks happy guests for Google reviews automatically. The catch is the contract: the $149 rate needs a 12-month agreement, and Menufy does not publish its card processing rate, so ask for it in writing. Pick Menufy when you want someone else to run the ordering and the marketing for you.

Owner.com sells the whole direct-ordering stack as one managed subscription: website, online ordering, branded app and marketing automation, with no long-term contract. The Flexible plan costs $249 a month plus a 5% restaurant fee on each order, and the Flat Rate plan costs $499 a month with no restaurant fee. Owner.com says Flat Rate suits restaurants doing $5,000 or more a month in online sales.

The catch is the guest fee: on both plans, guests pay a 5% order support fee at checkout, which adds $2 to a $40 order under your brand. Card processing is not itemized on the pricing page, so confirm it before signing. Pick Owner.com when you want ordering plus marketing that actively chases new orders, not just a checkout page.

Flipdish is a branded ordering platform for restaurants and takeaways: a custom website with online ordering, plus a branded mobile app, kiosks and POS as add-ons. The Website plan costs $149 a month on monthly billing or $119 billed annually, and Website plus Mobile App costs $249 a month or $199 annually. There is no per-order commission on direct orders.

The catch is the contract and the data: a 12-month initial term with automatic renewal and a three-month cancellation notice, and restaurants act as joint data controllers with Flipdish, so you do not get full independent use of your customer data. Card processing rates are not published either. Pick Flipdish when you run several locations and want one scalable branded ordering system.

Deliveroo is the leading delivery marketplace in the UK and parts of Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and it has been owned by DoorDash since October 2025. It does not publish a standard commission: each restaurant's rate is set in its contract, and the only published figure is 35% plus VAT for Marketplace+ orders fulfilled by Deliveroo riders. Typical reported rates run 25–35% of order value.

There is no monthly fee to list, and Deliveroo also offers Marketplace+, where your own riders deliver under the Deliveroo listing, and Editions delivery-only kitchens. The catch is the opacity: without a published rate card you cannot compare Deliveroo with Just Eat or Uber Eats until you have a quote in writing. Pick Deliveroo when your customers are in the UK or Europe and you need its rider network there.

Just Eat is the UK's biggest takeaway marketplace, part of Just Eat Takeaway, and the cheapest published option in Britain for restaurants with their own drivers: 14% commission plus VAT on self-delivery orders. When Just Eat's couriers deliver, the rate is 30% plus VAT. There is no monthly fee, and the same listing reaches Just Eat's large UK customer base.

The catch is the add-ons: promotions, sponsored placement and refunds push the all-in cost well above the headline rate — UK guides put the typical all-in cost at 25–31% of delivery revenue. Just Eat also operates SkipTheDishes in Canada, where rates are negotiated privately. Pick Just Eat when your takeaway is in the UK and you deliver with your own drivers.

DoorDash Drive is delivery without the marketplace: you take the order on your own website, app or phone, and a Dasher delivers it under your brand for a flat fee of $6.99 to $10.99 per delivery, with no commission, signup fee or monthly minimum. The fee varies with distance and order details, and there is no percentage taken from the ticket.

The flat fee is what makes Drive worth pricing: on a $40 order it costs about 17–27%, but on an $80 catering order it drops under 14%, while a 25% marketplace commission would take $20. The catch is that Drive brings no customers — the guest has to find you first. Pick Drive when you already own the order and only need the courier.
