Paying the apps for brand new customers can make sense, since that's how a lot of people find you. Paying up to 30% on your regulars is harder to justify. They already know your food and would order from you directly if it were easy.

Where Nomback comes in. We build independent restaurants their own ordering and loyalty app on the App Store and Google Play. It's $99 a month and $399 setup, with no commission on orders. Anthony's Pizzeria in Allentown uses it now, see their app. See what you get or try the demo.
Math: orders × ticket × commission. Tiers are DoorDash's published marketplace rates; Uber Eats and Grubhub are within a point or two. Service fees, tablet fees and ad spend are not included, so the real number is higher.
