Order Dash
    Online ordering

    3% + $0.33. Not 30% of every ticket.

    Marketplaces charge marketplace prices because they rent you demand. Order Dash is direct ordering: your storefront, your customers, your payouts — with a commission you can even pass to the buyer.

    What the same order costs you

    Platform commission only — card processing is separate and comparable across providers.

    Competitor figures are each provider's published US list pricing as of August 2026 and may change or be negotiated per contract. Check the linked pricing page before deciding. Order Dash commission shown is the default standard-order rate; delivery and customer win-back orders are priced separately.

    Why the gap is so wide

    Marketplaces sell you demand — and keep it

    A 15–30% cut buys placement in someone else's app. The diner belongs to the app, so you pay that rate again on the next order, and on the regular who would have walked in anyway.

    Subscription platforms charge whether you sell or not

    Flat monthly plans plus setup fees look cheap at volume and painful in a slow February. Order Dash charges when you take an order, so cost tracks revenue.

    You can hand the fee to the buyer

    Ordering and delivery commission can each be set to restaurant-paid or customer-paid, so your menu prices stay untouched if you want them to.
