What the delivery apps charge restaurants, country by country.

It depends on the app, the country and the plan. On the apps that publish their plans, the commission when the app's couriers deliver runs from 15–33% of the food subtotal; pickup orders and orders you deliver yourself cost less. Card processing, tax on the commission, and any offers or ads you fund come on top. Each country page lists the exact rates and where they come from.

The plans trade commission for reach. A low-commission plan usually means a smaller delivery area, a higher delivery fee for the customer or less promotion inside the app; the top plan reaches the most customers and costs the most. Pickup orders and orders you deliver with your own staff sit on lower rates because the app pays no courier.

In most countries with VAT or GST, yes: the commission is a service the app sells you, so the tax is added to it. VAT-registered or GST-registered restaurants can usually reclaim it; unregistered ones can't, so for them it adds to the cost of every order. Each country page gives the local rate.

Keep the apps for finding new customers and give your regulars a direct way to order. An order placed on your own ordering page carries no commission, only your card processor's fee if the customer pays by card. Put the link on your Google Business Profile, social profiles, receipts and table QR codes so regulars find it.
