How the Big Apps Make Their Money
DoorDash is the biggest name in U.S. food delivery. That convenience comes at a cost that's easy to miss. Delivery marketplaces generally take a cut from the restaurant on every order and then add their own fees on top for you. Here's what that can look like when you add it all up.
Through a Delivery Marketplace
| Commission charged to the restaurant | up to 30% |
|---|---|
| Credit card processing fee | 3% |
| Fee charged to you, the customer | up to 15% |
| Total taken, all around | up to 48% |
Ordering Direct From Tha Ross Way
| Commission charged to the restaurant | 0% |
|---|---|
| Extra fee charged to you | One small fee |
| Menu prices | Same as the truck |
| Anything else? | Nope. That's it. |
Marketplace fees vary by platform, plan, location and order. The percentages above are the maximums local restaurants commonly face across delivery marketplaces, not a quote from any one company. Check each app for its current pricing.
Shop Local. Eat Local.
Keep Your BBQ Money in Des Moines.
When you order direct, your money stays right here on the south side, supporting a local food truck, local cooks and local suppliers instead of a corporate headquarters out of state. Every direct order helps a Des Moines small business keep its fire burning.
- Local jobs. Your order supports the crew cooking on Army Post Road.
- Local partners. More money for the Des Moines businesses we work with.
- Local flavor. A homegrown BBQ truck that keeps the fire going.
Same Menu Price. No Games.
Because we don't pay any commission on direct orders, we can keep our online menu at the same price you'd pay if you called us or walked up to the truck. The only extra is one small fee, and that's it.
Ditch the Dash. Order Direct.
Skip Every App.
Whichever marketplace you usually use, ordering direct is the best deal for you and for us.
