How much is Keeta commission for restaurants?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Updated
Keeta entered the Saudi market at lower commission rates — roughly 12% to 20% per order — often with the restaurant sharing the cost of promotions, and set in the contract. Your own channel — a website, QR codes and WhatsApp — charges 0% commission and a flat monthly fee, starting on Menuthere's Free plan at $0. Updated October 2026.

How much does Keeta take per order?
Keeta doesn't publish an official commission rate; it is set in each restaurant's contract. 2026 estimates suggest it entered the Saudi market at relatively lower rates than competitors — around 12% to 20% per order — to attract restaurants at launch, often in exchange for the restaurant sharing promotion costs. So the headline rate can look lower, but the real cost rises with promotions. Check your contract and the promotion-sharing terms carefully.
| Item | Keeta | Your channel (Menuthere) |
|---|---|---|
| Rate per order | ~12%–20% (in contract) | 0% |
| Promotion share | Often yes | No |
| Model | Rate + promos | Flat monthly fee |
| Starting point | Per contract | Free at $0 |
Why can Keeta promotions cost more than they look?
A low headline rate can come with a commitment to fund customer discounts and offers. When you share the cost of a 'free delivery' or 'discount' promotion, what you actually pay rises above the base commission. That's useful for a short discovery push, but it isn't a stable long-term model. Your own channel keeps your pricing as you set it, with no forced promotion share.
- Base commission + promotion share = your real cost.
- Launch promotions can end and the rate can rise later; read the contract.
- On your own channel you decide the discounts and when (the Lite plan adds discounts).
Should I stick with Keeta or build my own channel?
Doing both is best. Use Keeta for discovery and first orders, and at the same time put a QR code and link on tables, receipts and packaging to move regulars to WhatsApp and your site with no commission. That way you don't depend on a promotion that might end. Compare the two in how do I stop paying delivery-app commission.
Who this is a good fit for
- A Saudi restaurant or café that tried Keeta's launch promotions and wants a stable commission-free channel afterward.
- Owners who can send customers to their own link through QR codes, Google, Instagram and WhatsApp.
- Those who want to start free and upgrade only when needed.
Who this is not for
- A new place wanting a quick discovery boost: Keeta promotions can bring the first orders while you build your own channel.
- Owners who want the app to handle drivers and discovery entirely; Keeta stays useful alongside your channel.
Common follow-up questions
Is Keeta commission lower than HungerStation and Jahez?
Estimates suggest Keeta entered at lower rates (around 12%–20%) at launch, but often with a promotion share that raises the real cost. All are unpublished and set in the contract.
Can I start an alternative channel for free?
Yes. The Free plan is $0 and includes 50 orders a month, your menu, an ordering website and QR codes. Past 50 orders the menu turns view-only until the 1st, or you upgrade.
Will Keeta's rate stay low forever?
Not necessarily; introductory rates can rise after the launch period or when promotions end. Check your contract and avoid relying entirely on a temporary offer.
