Uber Eats commission · US · checked September 2026
Uber Eats charges restaurants in the US 20% of the order on its Lite plan, 25% on Plus and 30% on Premium when its couriers deliver, and 7% on pickup. If you deliver yourself, it's 15%. Card processing is included. Lite went up from 15% in March 2026.
Rates as Uber Eats publishes them for restaurants in the US. Other apps and countries
The rates
Commission is a percentage of the order, and who delivers it sets the rate. Here is what Uber Eats publishes for restaurants in the US.
| Plan | Uber Eats delivers | You deliver | Pickup | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | 20% | — | 7% | Shown when customers search for you; no Uber One; customers pay a higher delivery fee. |
| Plus | 25% | — | 7% | More visible in the app, with a lower customer delivery fee. 30% on Uber One member orders. |
| Premium | 30% | — | 7% | The lowest customer delivery fee, Uber One included, and ad spend matched up to $100 a month. |
| Self-delivery | 25% | 15% | 7% | For restaurants with their own couriers; 25% on orders an Uber courier delivers. |
Card processing
Included in the commission: Uber says its marketplace fee covers payment processing. The exception is the Lite rate in New York City, which adds a 3% card fee.
Tablet
$4.99 a week (Wi-Fi only), $6.99 with a data plan, or $8.99 with a data plan and a printer, plus a damage fee if it's broken or lost.
Offer redemption
$0.99 for each order where a customer redeems one of your offers.
Order errors
Refunds to customers for missing or wrong items are taken from your payouts.
Sales tax
Uber's US terms say its fees exclude sales tax, which it adds where a state charges it.

One $30 order on Uber Eats
Uber Eats keeps 25.0% of every order — $2,250 a month, or $27,000 a year at your volume.
The same order on your own ordering page
Moving 90 orders a month (30%) to your own link keeps $594 a month in your business — $7,128 a year.
Figures are estimates from the numbers you enter. Uber Eats agreements differ by plan, location and volume, and platforms change their fees, so your Uber Eats 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
New York City. Delivery apps may charge at most 15% for delivery, 5% for basic service and 3% for card processing (or its actual cost). Since June 2025 they may also offer an optional enhanced service at up to 20% more.
San Francisco. Fees are capped at 15% an order, but a platform may charge more as long as it also offers every covered restaurant a delivery option at 15% or less. Chains are excluded.
Seattle. Fees for deliveries inside city limits are capped at 15%. A restaurant can pay more only for extra services, and only if a 15% package is also on offer.
Uber raised its US fees on 11 March 2026: Lite went from 15% to 20%, pickup from 6% to 7%, and Plus orders from Uber One members to 30%.
Pickup is 7% when your pickup prices match your in-store prices; otherwise it's 10%.
In cities that regulate delivery fees, Uber lists a 15% Lite rate, among them New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Washington DC and Minneapolis.
Uber's Webshop, ordering on your own website, charges no commission, just 2.5% + $0.29 an order.
An Uber Eats 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 Uber Eats running alongside it.
