Commission-free ordering

Stop paying Deliveroo and Just Eat commission

Deliveroo and Uber Eats take roughly 25–30% of every order. Just Eat takes around 14% plus a fixed per-order fee. Forever — even on your regulars, who’d have ordered from you anyway. DineKit is a free WordPress plugin, used by restaurants worldwide, that takes eat-in, takeaway and delivery orders on your own website, with card payments through your own Stripe account. You keep 100%, minus only standard card fees.

The commission maths

It doesn’t feel like much on one order. Add it up over a month and it’s a different story.

Say your restaurant does £6,000 a month through the delivery apps. At Deliveroo or Uber Eats’ typical 25–30% commission, that’s £1,500–£1,800 gone every single month — before food cost, staff or rent. Just Eat’s roughly 14% plus a per-order fee is lower, but still adds up fast at volume. The percentages are the same wherever you trade — Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat run the same commission model across every country they operate in.

Over a year, that’s £18,000–£21,600 handed to a middleman — on the same £6,000 a month, every month. And it’s not a one-off setup fee: it’s taken on every order, forever, including from your loyal regulars who already know your name.

Take those same orders on your own site with DineKit, and that commission simply doesn’t exist. You pay standard Stripe card processing fees — typically low single-digit percent — and keep the rest.

How to take orders commission-free

You don’t need to rebuild your website or hire a developer. It’s three steps.

  1. Install DineKit. It’s a free plugin from WordPress.org — add it to your existing WordPress site in a couple of minutes, no coding required. It runs on any WordPress host, anywhere in the world.
  2. Add your menu and turn on ordering. Build your menu with prices, photos and allergens marked (the UK’s 14 statutory allergens are pre-seeded for Natasha’s Law, and you can add your own), then switch on online ordering for eat-in, takeaway and delivery, with your own delivery zones and fees. Connect your own Stripe account and you’re ready to take card payments.
  3. Share your order link or QR code. Print QR table cards so guests can scan, order and pay at the table, add an “Order Now” button to your homepage, and share your link on social media, receipts and with regulars. New orders land on a live order board and Kitchen Display — every one on your own site, commission-free.

Common questions

How much commission do Deliveroo and Just Eat take?
Deliveroo and Uber Eats typically charge restaurants around 25–30% commission on every order. Just Eat is generally lower, at roughly 14% plus a fixed fee per order. Either way, it’s taken on every single order, month after month, for as long as you use the app — and the same model applies in every country these apps operate in.
Is DineKit really commission-free?
Yes. DineKit is a free, open-source WordPress plugin. Online ordering — eat-in, takeaway and delivery — plus QR order-and-pay at the table all run on your own site, with payments through your own Stripe account. There’s no per-order cut to DineKit or to anyone else: you pay only standard Stripe card processing fees, and keep the rest.
Does DineKit work outside the UK?
Yes — it’s a self-hosted WordPress plugin used by restaurants worldwide, and it’s fully translation-ready. The commission problem is universal: Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat run globally on the same 14–30% model, and taking orders on your own site removes that cut wherever you are. One thing to know: card capture currently settles in GBP, so check that suits your setup before you rely on it for payments in another country.
Can guests order and pay at the table?
Yes. DineKit generates a unique QR code for every table. Guests scan it, order on their phone, and their round joins that table’s tab and fires straight to the Kitchen Display — they can pay by QR on their own phone, or add it to the tab to settle later. It’s the kind of in-house ordering the delivery apps don’t do at all.
Should I quit the apps completely?
Not necessarily. Deliveroo and Just Eat genuinely do a couple of things DineKit doesn’t: they put you in front of new customers who don’t yet know you, and they can supply their own delivery drivers with live GPS tracking. The smart approach for most restaurants is to use both — keep the apps for discovery and delivery reach, and steer your regulars and repeat orders to your own DineKit-powered site, where you keep the lot.
Do I need my own delivery drivers?
For delivery orders through DineKit, yes — the venue arranges its own drivers or offers collection. DineKit handles the order, your delivery zones, fees and payment, but delivery is non-tracked today: there’s no live GPS map or driver dispatch like the marketplaces provide. Many restaurants use DineKit for eat-in, takeaway and collection, and lean on the apps specifically for the tracked deliveries they can’t cover themselves.
Do I need WooCommerce?
No. DineKit isn’t a WooCommerce add-on — it’s a standalone plugin with its own menu builder, ordering, QR order-and-pay, Kitchen Display and Stripe payments built in. It even installs as an app (PWA) to your staff’s phones and tablets and keeps multiple tablets in sync. Just install it on your WordPress site and you’re set up to take orders.
