How much does Grubhub charge restaurants in 2026?

By the Nomback team, who build ordering apps for independent restaurants · Updated October 18, 2026 · Sources

Grubhub charges restaurants a marketing commission of 5% on Basic, 15% on Plus or 20% on All-access, plus a delivery fee starting at 10% when Grubhub's drivers deliver, plus order and payment processing fees. On a $40 delivery order on the Plus plan with Grubhub delivery, that is at least $10 (25%) before processing fees, about the same as DoorDash Plus. Restaurants that deliver with their own drivers pay no Grubhub delivery fee. Grubhub also offers Grubhub Direct, its own commission-free online ordering, with no setup or monthly hosting fees.

What are the Grubhub plans for restaurants?

Grubhub lists Basic at a 5% marketing commission with a standard customer delivery fee, Plus at 15% with a lower customer delivery fee, and All-access at 20% with the lowest customer delivery fee (Grubhub pricing). Higher plans mostly buy a lower delivery fee for the customer, which helps the restaurant rank and convert.

What is Grubhub Direct?

Grubhub Direct is Grubhub's commission-free online ordering for a restaurant's own website, listed with zero setup, marketing commission, platform and monthly hosting fees. It's a website ordering tool, not a branded app with a stamp card, so regulars still order through a browser.

How can restaurants lower their Grubhub fees?

Use Grubhub for new customers and move regulars to the restaurant's own ordering, where no commission comes out. A card in every Grubhub bag with a reward for ordering direct is the most direct way to do it. More in how to get customers to order direct.
