Quick mode guesses the split from a typical order: food about 72% of what you paid, fees about 17%, tip about 11%, menu marked up 20%, driver base pay $3, restaurant on the 25% plan. Open "exact numbers" to use your real receipt.
Sources. Restaurant commission: DoorDash's own merchant plans, Basic 15%, Plus 25%, Premier 30% of the food subtotal (get.doordash.com). Driver pay: DoorDash says base pay runs $2 to $10+ per offer and 100% of the tip goes to the driver (DoorDash help center). Menu markup: a 2023 Gordon Haskett survey of 25 chains found app prices about 20% above in-store. Service fees changed in July 2026 and now vary by distance and order size, which is why you type them in instead of me guessing.
How it works: the restaurant pays DoorDash a commission on the food subtotal (15%, 25% or 30% depending on its plan, from DoorDash's published restaurant plans) and keeps the rest. Delivery and service fees go to DoorDash. Out of its share it pays the driver a base pay, and your tip goes to the driver on top. Many restaurants raise their prices on the app to make up for the commission, so pick what matches. Card processing and other small costs are left out. If you don't know their plan, 25% is a fair middle guess.
