If you’re growing on delivery apps, you’re probably seeing the same pattern: Orders increase…\ but the margin doesn’t. And it’s not because your food, service, or marketing isn’t working.\ It’s because **fees scale faster than revenue** when your business runs on commission-based channels. The good news?\ You don’t need to “leave delivery apps” to fix this. You just need a setup that gives you **control**, **visibility**, and a clear path to reduce your per-order costs. In this post, we’ll break down how brands cut order fees by up to **20%** — while staying compatible with the channels customers already use. ### 1) The problem isn’t delivery apps — it’s dependency Let’s be honest: platforms like UberEats and Rappi can drive demand. But the tradeoff is real: - commission fees - operational fragmentation - limited customer ownership - constant “pay-to-grow” pressure When you’re small, it’s manageable. When you scale?\ It becomes one of the biggest invisible expenses in your business. That’s why the smartest operators don’t treat marketplaces as their core strategy. They treat them as **channels**. ### 2) Why fees quietly eat your growth Most teams look at total sales and feel like they’re winning. But the real question is: > **| How much are you keeping per order?** Fees don’t just reduce profit.\ They reduce your ability to invest in: - marketing that compounds - retention and loyalty - operational improvements - better customer experience - new locations or expansion In other words: fees don’t just cost money.\ They slow down your momentum. #### **3) Cutting order fees by 20% starts with one shift** Here’s the shift: ### **| Stop paying per order as your default model.** Start building a system where your best customers order **directly**. This is how brands lower fees while keeping demand: 1. Keep marketplaces active (optional demand) 2. Build a strong direct ordering experience (your channel) 3. Centralize operations so your team runs faster with fewer mistakes 4. Move repeat customers to direct ordering with incentives and convenience That’s the formula. And it works because repeat customers are where real margin lives. #### **4) “Compatible with UberEats & Rappi” — without their commissions** This is where a lot of brands get stuck. They think they must choose between: ❌ marketplace orders\ or\ ❌ direct orders But the best model is hybrid: - Use marketplaces to acquire new customers - Use direct ordering to keep them and grow profitably The goal isn’t to shut channels down. The goal is to unify everything and make direct ordering the path of least resistance. #### **5) What you need to actually make this work** To reduce fees without breaking operations, you need: ### **A unified ordering interface** So orders don’t live in 3–5 separate systems. ### **Centralized reporting** So you can measure what’s happening across channels and locations. ### **A direct ordering experience that feels premium** Fast, branded, easy to repeat. ### **The ability to scale** What works for one store should work for 10+. When you combine these, cutting fees becomes predictable — not wishful thinking. #### **6) The hidden win: less chaos = better performance** Reducing fees is a huge benefit. But most teams see the biggest improvement in something else first: **operations.** When orders are centralized: - fewer mistakes - faster fulfillment - cleaner workflows - better customer experience - fewer refunds and complaints And those improvements create a second layer of savings that many teams don’t even calculate. #### **7) Want to see what this looks like for your setup?** The fastest way to know if you can cut order fees by \~20% is to see it in your workflow.
