How much commission does Uber Eats charge restaurants?

On merchants.ubereats.com/us/en/pricing (read October 29, 2026), Uber Eats lists three US marketplace plans: Lite at a 20% Marketplace Fee, Plus at 25% and Premium at 30%, each with a 7% Pickup Fee when you validate that in-app pickup prices match in-store prices (10% without that, per the footnote). Lite starts at 15% for delivery in some cities, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC. Self-delivery with your own staff is 15%. Plus and Premium start with a 0% intro rate for 30 days.

Is there a commission-free alternative to Uber Eats?

Yes. Ser.vi direct online ordering is 0% commission to the restaurant: the guest pays a flat 5% at checkout, and the restaurant pays no monthly fee. Uber also sells its own commission-free option, Webshop, at 2.5% + $0.29 per order paid by the restaurant. Both are for orders you send to your own link; neither replaces discovery inside the Uber Eats app.

What is Uber Eats Webshop and what does it cost?

Webshop is Uber's online ordering site for your own website and social links. Uber's pricing page lists it at a 2.5% order processing fee + $0.29 per order. Uber's help center says it is waiving website maintenance, delivery fulfillment and support fees "for now", that customers pay the same fees they would in the Uber Eats app, and that there is no long-term commitment. Uber's Webshop page says you set it up in Uber Eats Manager and that new merchants first sign up with Uber Eats.

How is Ser.vi different from Uber Eats Webshop?

Who pays, and what comes with it. On Webshop the restaurant pays 2.5% + $0.29 per order and works inside an Uber Eats account. On Ser.vi the restaurant pays 0% commission and the guest pays a flat 5% at checkout, with no Uber Eats store needed. Ser.vi also includes an integrated POS with $0 monthly software and QR order-and-pay at the table on the same menu.

Should I leave Uber Eats completely?

Usually not. Uber Eats is useful when a diner who has never heard of you finds you in the app. Keep it for that if the math works for you. Move the guests who already know you, like regulars, Google searchers and people who would have called, to your own ordering link, where you pay 0% commission on Ser.vi instead of 20–30%.

Can I still offer delivery without Uber Eats?

Yes. Ser.vi can take delivery orders on your own storefront and automatically send DoorDash drivers to pick them up. Delivery fees go to the delivery provider, starting at $6.50 plus tip. For comparison, Uber lists Uber Direct, its delivery-only service for your own website, as starting at $7.99 per delivery.

How much does Ser.vi cost?

Online ordering: 0% commission to you and no monthly fee; the guest pays 5% at checkout. POS: $0 monthly software on your existing iPad (iPadOS 15 or later); staff-entered POS orders are 3.0% + 20¢, paid by the restaurant by default, and you can pass that to customers with a cash discount program. Optional Ser.vi hardware is charged separately and offered on terms. Optional marketing plans are $249, $449 and $749 a month.

The math on 600 orders a month

Take a restaurant with 600 online orders a month at $40, or $24,000 in online sales. Here is what the restaurant pays on each channel at Uber's published US rates:

Channel	Restaurant pays per $40 order	Per month (600 orders)
Uber Eats Premium (30%)	$12.00	$7,200
Uber Eats Plus (25%)	$10.00	$6,000
Uber Eats Lite (20%)	$8.00	$4,800
Uber Eats self-delivery (15%)	$6.00	$3,600
Uber Eats pickup (7%, validated pricing)	$2.80	$1,680
Uber Eats Webshop (2.5% + $0.29)	$1.29	$774
Ser.vi direct ordering (0% commission)	$0.00	$0

On Ser.vi, the guest pays $2.00 (5%) on that $40 order, which covers card processing and the platform. The restaurant pays $0 in commission and $0 in card fees on online orders. Delivery, when you offer it, starts at $6.50 plus tip and goes to the delivery provider.

Read that honestly: Webshop is already far cheaper than the marketplace. If you want to stay inside the Uber Eats stack and you are fine paying 2.5% + $0.29 per order yourself, it is a real option. Ser.vi is the better fit when you would rather the guest cover the online fee, you don't want your direct ordering tied to an Uber Eats account, and you want your POS and table QR ordering on the same menu with $0 monthly software. See who pays the online ordering fee.

Keep Uber Eats for discovery, move your regulars direct

Uber Eats still earns its fee when

A diner who has never heard of you finds you inside the app. That is demand you don't already have.
You want Uber One members and in-app ads, which Uber ties to the Plus and Premium plans.
You are new to delivery and want Uber's network without setting anything else up.

Use Ser.vi for the orders you already earn

Regulars, Google searchers and people who would have called: send them to your own branded storefront at 0% commission to you.
Capture customer info with opt-in permission and build your own list.
Offer delivery without marketplace commission: Ser.vi sends DoorDash drivers, from $6.50 plus tip, paid to the provider.
Run your POS on your existing iPad with $0 monthly software, and QR order-and-pay at the table on the same menu.

Point your "Order" buttons at it. Your Google Business Profile, website and social links should send guests to your storefront, not the app.
Tell your regulars. A card in every bag and a line on your receipts moves repeat guests to the channel where you keep the order total.
