The Cost of the Middleman
Postmates built its name on delivering just about anything and is now part of Uber. Like other delivery marketplaces, it generally earns money by charging restaurants commission and adding fees on the customer side. Here's how those pieces can add 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.

No Commission. No Markup.
Since we pay zero commission on direct orders, our online menu shows the same prices you'd get calling in or visiting the truck. All you pay extra is one small fee. Nothing else.
