The rates
Commission is a percentage of the order, and who delivers it sets the rate. Here is what Glovo publishes for restaurants in Kenya.
| Plan | Glovo delivers | You deliver | Pickup | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small-business pricing | 30% | 15% | 15% | Glovo's published rates for small businesses, as a share of the order subtotal. Glovo says they may vary by city, and larger partners agree theirs in contract. |
Card processing
Glovo's Kenyan pricing page lists no separate card fee. Check your contract.
Subscriptions and extras
Glovo says it charges no subscription, cancellation or contract fees, but optional products and services (ads, promotions, packaging from the Glovo Store) cost extra, and an activation fee may apply.

One KES 1,000 order on Glovo
Glovo keeps 30.0% of every order — KES 90,000 a month, or KES 1,080,000 a year at your volume.
The same order on your own ordering page
Moving 90 orders a month (30%) to your own link keeps KES 24,300 a month in your business — KES 291,600 a year.
Figures are estimates from the numbers you enter. Glovo agreements differ by plan, location and volume, and platforms change their fees, so your Glovo payout statement is the source of truth. The direct column assumes every order is paid by card at about 3%, before your ordering plan's fee; cash and pay-at-counter orders cost nothing.

Glovo's Kenyan pricing page doesn't say whether VAT is added to its fees.
A Glovo 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.
