Do more platform orders always mean more profit?
Food delivery platforms can increase order volume, but profitability depends on the full economics of each order.
- Recipe cost
- Platform commission
- Promotion contribution
- Delivery cost
- Packaging
- Cancellations and compensation
Commercial terms can vary by restaurant and delivery model, so businesses should calculate profitability using their own contract and actual per-order costs rather than relying on a single published commission percentage.
