The rates
Commission is a percentage of the order, and who delivers it sets the rate. Here is what DoorDash publishes for restaurants in Canada.
| Plan | DoorDash delivers | Pickup | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 20% | 10% | Reaches nearby customers, with the highest customer delivery fee. No commission for the first 7 days. |
| Plus | 25% | 8% | Reaches customers farther away, with a lower customer delivery fee. 27% on DashPass delivery orders. No commission for the first 30 days. |
| Premier | 29% | 8% | Reaches farthest, with the lowest customer delivery fee and a CA$50 rebate in any month you spend CA$100 or more on ads. No commission for the first 30 days. |
Card processing
Included in the commission: DoorDash lists no payment processing fees on any plan.
GST/HST on the commission
Yes. DoorDash sends Canadian restaurants a monthly tax invoice listing its fees and the taxes charged on them. In British Columbia, 7% PST applies to online marketplace services by law.
Activation and subscription
None. DoorDash lists no activation, subscription, software, cancellation or contract fees.
Tablet
Free during the trial, then $3 a week.
Error charges
25% to 100% of the item's price plus tax when an order is wrong or incomplete.
Ads

One $35 order on DoorDash
DoorDash keeps 25.0% of every order — $2,625 a month, or $31,500 a year at your volume.
The same order on your own ordering page
Moving 90 orders a month (30%) to your own link keeps $693 a month in your business — $8,316 a year.
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
British Columbia. Since 1 January 2023, delivery platforms serving 500 or more restaurants must offer a base tier capped at 20% of the food and drink price, before tax and tips. A higher tier is allowed only if the restaurant turns the base tier down, and it can cancel on 7 days' notice.
DoorDash's Basic plan sits at British Columbia's 20% cap; Plus and Premier are higher tiers above it.
Pickup rates need pickup prices that match your in-store prices.
Ontario's 2020 cap (15% on delivery, 20% in total) applies only while COVID-19 orders bar indoor dining, and Quebec's cap ended in June 2022.
DoorDash's online ordering for your own website charges no commission, just 3.3% + $0.30 an order.
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.
What you get with Menuthere
0% commission on every plan. Start on the free plan with 50 orders a month; Lite is $9 a month for unlimited orders and your own domain. Keep DoorDash running alongside it.
