Grubhub fee and profit calculator for restaurants
$30.00 × (15% + 10% + 3%) = $8.40 an order × 200
Grubhub takes a marketing commission of 5% on Basic, 15% on Plus or 20% on All-access, plus a delivery fee starting at 10% when its drivers deliver, plus processing fees it doesn't publish. On a $30 order on Plus with Grubhub delivery and an estimated 3% processing, that is $8.40, or 28%. At 200 orders a month, Grubhub takes $1,680 a month and $20,160 a year. Enter your own numbers above; set delivery to 0 if your own drivers deliver.
How the calculator works
Fee per order = average order × (marketing commission + delivery fee + processing). Profit per order = average order − fees − food cost. Commission and delivery rates are from Grubhub's pricing page (Grubhub pricing); Grubhub says the delivery fee starts at 10% and doesn't list processing fees, so processing is your estimate.

Is Grubhub profitable for a restaurant?
For new customers who'd never find you otherwise, it can be. For regulars, every order through Grubhub costs you the commission on someone who already knows you. Move them to your own ordering and that money stays with you. The same math for DoorDash: DoorDash fee calculator.
