Is click and collect profitable for a restaurant?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Updated
Yes, the moment you keep the commission a platform would take. Click and collect has no delivery fee, and on Menuthere there is no per-order commission: you pay a flat fee (or $0 on the Free plan). It becomes profitable as soon as your orders cover the fee — every order after that keeps its full value. Updated October 2026.
- Click and collect removes the delivery fee and, on Menuthere, the per-order commission.
- You pay a flat fee instead of a percentage; it pays off as soon as orders cover it.
- Menuthere: 0% commission on every plan, Free at $0 (50 orders/month), Lite at $17/month.
- Against a platform that takes a percentage on every order, a flat fee costs the same at 10 or 1,000 orders.
- Your payment gateway's card fee remains, but it goes to the gateway, not Menuthere.
Profitable because commission-free
Menuthere gives you click and collect at 0% commission: you keep 100% of every order, with a flat fee and a Free plan at $0 to start. The more you sell, the clearer the saving against platforms.
Why is click and collect more profitable than a platform?
On a delivery platform, commission grows with your sales: the more you sell, the more you pay. Click and collect on your own channel costs a flat fee and, on Menuthere, 0% commission. As soon as your orders cover the fee, every order after that keeps its full value.
| Platform | Click and collect (Menuthere) | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost model | % per order | Flat fee, 0% per order |
| Cost at 100 orders | Grows with every order | The same as at 10 orders |
| Who owns the customer | The platform | You |
| Starting cost | From order one | $0 on the Free plan |
From how many orders is it profitable?
It depends on your average order and the percentage your platform takes. The idea stays simple: the fee is flat, so break-even is the number of orders that cover it. Past that, you keep 100% of every order. On Menuthere's Free plan, there is no fee at all up to 50 orders a month.
Delivery platforms don't always publish their rate in France; trade guides put the commission at roughly 25–35% when their riders deliver — treat these as ballpark figures. Every order you shift to your click and collect saves that percentage.
What costs remain on a click and collect?
The fee remains ($0 on Free, $17/month on Lite) and, if you take online payment, your payment gateway's card fee. Menuthere takes no per-order commission and does not touch card fees, which go to the gateway. Lite and Pro have a 14-day free trial.
Who this is a good fit for
- Restaurants that already have customers and want to offer pickup without losing a cut on every order.
- Places whose order volume beats the cost of a flat fee.
- Those who want to test for free before moving to a paid plan.
Who this is not for
- A brand-new place with no customer base: a marketplace can bring the first orders while you build your channel.
- An owner relying only on long-distance delivery: click and collect is pickup, not delivery.
Common follow-up questions
Does click and collect cost a commission?
Not on Menuthere: 0% commission on every plan. You pay a flat fee ($0 on Free, $17/month on Lite). That is what makes it profitable against a platform that takes a percentage on every order.
How much can I save versus a platform?
As much as the commission the platform would have taken. If it takes a percentage per order, every order through click and collect keeps you that cut, minus only the flat fee and card fees.
Can I test before paying?
Yes. Menuthere's Free plan is $0 (50 orders/month), and both Lite and Pro have a 14-day free trial. You see the economics on your real orders before any payment.
