The commission problem — and how we plan to fix it

Every order through a delivery app is money off your margin. On a tight takeaway that adds up fast.

On a typical order, Deliveroo and Uber Eats take roughly 25–30% commission. Just Eat is lower but still charges around 14% plus a 50p order fee. Sell a £20 order through a 28% app and you hand over about £5.60 — before you’ve paid for ingredients, gas or staff.

DineKit’s answer is commission-free online ordering: customers order straight from your own site and you keep 100% of the sale. That’s the plan — and being straight with you, Coming soon it isn’t live yet.
