talabat commission · Egypt · checked September 2026
talabat doesn't publish its commission in Egypt; each restaurant's rate is set in its contract. Public reports put it at roughly 15% to 25% of the order value, plus a registration fee, so treat these figures as approximate.
talabat doesn't publish its commission in Egypt. The range below is approximate, from an Egyptian point-of-sale company's 2024 guide and a 2021 interview with an executive at elmenus, a rival app. Other apps and countries
The rates
Your own agreement with talabat sets your rate. These approximate ranges come from public sources, listed at the foot of the page.
| Order type | talabat delivers | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Approximate range | ~15–25% | Slant, an Egyptian POS company, February 2024. An elmenus executive put the average delivery take rate in Egypt at 20–25% in 2021, and about half that when restaurants deliver themselves. |
Card processing
talabat's partner page says the commission helps cover its cashless payment costs, but it doesn't publish a separate card fee for Egypt. Check your contract.
Registration fee
talabat asks for proof of payment of a registration fee when you sign up. The amount isn't published.
Order tablet
talabat provides a tablet with its order software; it doesn't publish a charge for it.
Payouts
Every three weeks, according to talabat's Egypt partner page.

Figures are estimates from the numbers you enter. talabat agreements differ by plan, location and volume, and platforms change their fees, so your talabat 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
Competition authority. In May 2022 Egypt's Competition Authority ordered a dominant food delivery platform, which it didn't name, to drop contract clauses that stopped restaurants using other apps, tied delivery to paid listing on another of its services, and required price matching. There is no cap on commission.
talabat accepts home-based kitchens in Egypt, according to its partner page.
The elmenus executive said in 2021 that commissions in Egypt ran lower than in the West because most restaurants already had their own delivery and delivery fees were low.
Uber agreed in July 2026 to buy Delivery Hero, talabat's parent company. The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2027.
A talabat 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.
