Keeta commission · Qatar · checked October 2026
Keeta doesn't publish its commission in Qatar, but Qatari rules cap what a delivery app can charge a restaurant at 19% of the order value when the app delivers and 10% when it doesn't, with no other charges allowed on top. Restaurants that joined before its August 2025 launch were offered a lower rate for a limited time.
Keeta doesn't publish its commission in Qatar. The rates below are the legal maximums set by Qatar's price committee in 2020 and restated by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in 2022; your contract can set a lower rate. Other apps and countries
The rates
Your own agreement with Keeta sets your rate. These are the ranges restaurants in Qatar report paying.
| Order type | Keeta delivers | You deliver | Pickup | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legal maximum | 19% | 10% | 10% | Committee Decision 3 of 2020, restated by the ministry in February 2022. The 10% limit applies whenever the app only markets the order and doesn't deliver it. |
Card processing
Qatar's 2020 decision bars apps from charging restaurants any other percentage or sum, under any name, so card and payment costs have to fit inside the 19% (10% if you deliver). Keeta doesn't publish a separate card fee.
Promotions
Under the 2026 guideline, discounts and promotions must be licensed by the ministry before they run, and paid rankings must be labelled as paid.

One QAR 60 order on Keeta
Keeta keeps 19.0% of every order — QAR 3,420 a month, or QAR 41,040 a year at your volume.
The same order on your own ordering page
Moving 90 orders a month (30%) to your own link keeps QAR 864 a month in your business — QAR 10,368 a year.
Figures are estimates from the numbers you enter. Keeta agreements differ by plan, location and volume, and platforms change their fees, so your Keeta 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.

Worth knowing
Commission cap. Since April 2020, a decision of Qatar's committee for maximum prices (No. 3 of 2020) has limited what a delivery app can charge a restaurant to 19% of the order value when it markets and delivers the order, and 10% when it only markets it. Apps may not add any other percentage or charge, under any name.
Increases need approval. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry restated the 10% and 19% rates in February 2022. It said no increase is allowed without the committee's prior approval, and told restaurants not to sign contracts above them. Breaking the consumer protection law can bring a fine of up to QAR 1 million and a three-month closure.
Delivery fee. The 2020 decision capped the customer's delivery charge at QAR 10. The ministry's 2022 statement gave QAR 10 for delivery by bike and QAR 20 by car.
2026 guideline. The ministry's April 2026 guideline for delivery apps requires every commission, fee and deduction to be written into your contract, bans hidden charges, and needs your written approval for any change. You may charge different prices on the apps and in your restaurant, apps may not change your prices or discounts without your consent, and paid rankings must be labelled. The guideline doesn't restate the 19% cap, and we found nothing that withdraws it.
Keeta, the international arm of China's Meituan, launched in Doha on 19 August 2025, its second market in the Middle East after Saudi Arabia.
Before the launch, Keeta offered Founding Vendors a discounted commission for an initial period and launch marketing without paid ads. It didn't say what the rate was.
From 19 to 31 March 2026, Keeta returned QAR 1 million to all its restaurant partners in Qatar as reduced fees. It didn't give a percentage.
Keeta says more than 60% of its orders in Qatar go to small and medium-sized restaurants.
DoorDash announced in February 2026 that it would close Deliveroo in Qatar.
