Sarah's Story
Sarah has run her family restaurant for 15 years. She knows her regulars by name. She takes pride in real food, real service, real community.
Two years ago, she went digital. She signed up for the big delivery platforms — UberEats, Deliveroo, JustEat. Orders flooded in. The dashboard numbers looked impressive. She felt like she was finally scaling.
Then, one quiet Tuesday, she sat down with a calculator. What she found changed everything.
The Commission Trap
Every order that came through those platforms had a silent passenger riding along — the platform's commission. Up to 32% of her revenue gone before she had paid for a single ingredient.
On 50 daily orders at £25 average:
Daily Loss
£375
lost every single day
Yearly Loss
£136,875
lost every single year
Enough to hire three full-time staff. Renovate her kitchen. Open a second location.
"Sarah realized she wasn't running a restaurant. She was working for the delivery apps."
The Price Her Customers Were Paying
To survive the commission, Sarah had to raise her prices on the platforms. A £12 dish became £15. She had no choice — the margins simply did not work otherwise. But her customers did not know why. They just saw a higher price. Some left one-star reviews complaining about poor value. Some stopped ordering. Sarah was being punished for a fee her customers did not even know existed. She could not explain it. She could not fix it. She could only absorb it.
Not Just Sarah's Story
This is the reality for thousands of restaurant owners right now. If you are on UberEats, Deliveroo, JustEat, or DoorDash, the same silent drain is happening to you, every single day.
Commissions of up to 32% on every order. Customers paying inflated prices they resent. A customer relationship that belongs entirely to the platform, not to you. The question is not whether it is happening. The question is: how much is it costing you?
