Marketplace commission math
Third-party delivery (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) runs 15% to 30% per order in commission, before in-app discounts DoorDash Storefront · 2026-06-20. Stack two marketplaces and all-in take exceeds 40% on incremental orders. First-party online ordering with own driver dispatch breaks even against marketplace at roughly 70-90 orders/month per channel.
Slice marketplace vs first-party
Slice is cheaper than DoorDash on commission but ties brand recognition to the Slice marketplace. First-party Toast online ordering preserves brand but costs more in marketing acquisition. Run both for 6 months and measure.
