Figures are estimates from the numbers you enter. DoorDash agreements differ by plan, location and volume, and platforms change their fees, so your DoorDash payout statement is the source of truth. The direct column assumes every order is paid by card at about 3%; cash and pay-at-counter orders cost nothing. See how direct ordering works on commission-free online ordering.
Worth knowing
DoorDash takes its commission from the order subtotal before tax.
DoorDash's ordering for your own website costs 1.75% + A$0.30 in card fees, with a A$5.50 delivery fee including GST.
A DoorDash alternative for your regulars
A delivery app is a good way to be found and an expensive way to serve people who already know you. Give your regulars your own ordering link, and the commission on their orders stays in your business.
