How it works
Simple math, shown in full.
No hidden assumptions. These are the formulas behind every number above.
You earn per order
Average order value × commission %, plus the delivery fee and the service fee.
It costs you per order
Driver cost, plus payment processing on everything the customer pays, plus the promotions you fund.
You keep per order
What you earn per order minus what it costs you. If this is negative, growth makes the loss bigger.
Break-even
Fixed costs per month divided by what you keep per order.
12-month projection
Orders grow by your monthly growth rate. Profit is orders × what you keep per order, minus fixed costs.
