How much does PedidosYa charge restaurants in Mexico?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Updated
PedidosYa does not publish a single rate for restaurants in Mexico: the commission is agreed at sign-up and depends on the city, the delivery type and any promotions, always plus 16% VAT. Like other apps in the region, it usually works out as a double-digit percentage per order when PedidosYa delivers. With your own ordering site it is 0% commission. Updated October 2026.

What commission does PedidosYa charge in Mexico?
PedidosYa doesn't publish its restaurant commission in Mexico. They confirm it when you register, and it changes with the city, whether PedidosYa delivers or you do, and the promotions you join. It is charged as a percentage per order plus 16% VAT on that fee. Ask for it in writing before you sign, together with any sign-up fee, ad spend and how you get paid.
| Item | What it charges | VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Commission per order | Not published (agreed) | +16% |
| Self-delivery / pickup | Not published (usually lower) | +16% |
| Sign-up / registration fee | Not published | +16% |
| Ads and promotions | Separate, by campaign | +16% |
How much is really left from each order?
Less than the dish price. On top of the commission comes 16% VAT, and if you join a co-funded promotion you pay part of the discount. PedidosYa collects the customer's money and pays you after its fees. That is why many restaurants keep the app only for discovery and push repeat customers to their own link, where they lose no commission.
How do I take orders without paying commission?
With your own channel: an ordering page, QR codes on the table, your Google listing and WhatsApp. You pay a flat monthly fee instead of a percentage, so once your orders cover the fee each order keeps its full value. With Menuthere it is 0% commission on every plan and the Free plan is $0 (50 orders a month included).
- A commission-free ordering page with your own link.
- A QR menu on the tables and the packaging.
- WhatsApp ordering on your own number with a copy of every order.
- The link on your Google listing, Instagram and Facebook.
Who this is a good fit for
- Restaurants that already have repeat customers and want to stop losing a cut on every order.
- Owners who can send customers to their own link through QR codes, Google, Instagram and WhatsApp.
- Places that want to start free and move to a paid plan only when it pays for itself.
Who this is not for
- A brand-new place with no customer base: a PedidosYa or Rappi marketplace can bring the first orders while you build your own channel alongside it.
- Owners who need a fleet to deliver across the whole city for them; that is the app's job, not an own-delivery website.
Common follow-up questions
Does PedidosYa add VAT to the commission?
Yes. App commissions and fees in Mexico are charged plus VAT; the standard rate is 16%. So the percentage they quote costs a little more once VAT is added.
Why doesn't PedidosYa publish its commission?
Because it negotiates it by contract, by city and by restaurant type. Ask for it in writing, along with the sign-up fee, ads and payout terms, before you sign.
Can I keep PedidosYa and my own page at the same time?
Yes, and many restaurants do. You keep the app for discovery and send repeat customers to your commission-free ordering link, where you lose no commission.
