  • Watching your budget? Smart! To stay on track, use our search filters to see results based on delivery fees, order minimums, or price-per-person costs.

  • Who sets the delivery fee? Each restaurant on our platform sets their own delivery fees. That’s why you might see different fees from different restaurants. You can easily view these details in the search results and on each restaurant’s menu page.

  • Why does the fee vary by restaurant? Fees are often based on the details of your order. Restaurants use a few common methods to calculate the cost:

    • A simple flat fee (EX: $15 for every delivery)

    • By distance (EX: the fee increases the farther away you are)

    • A percentage of your subtotal (EX: 10% of the cost of your food)

  • Will I see the delivery cost before I order? Absolutely. We show you the delivery fee during checkout!
