How Much Commission Does Deliveroo Take in 2026?

What Does Deliveroo Charge Restaurants?

If you're a restaurant owner using Deliveroo, you're likely paying between 25% and 35% commission on every single order. That means for every £20 order, Deliveroo takes £5 to £7 before you see a penny.

Let's break down the real numbers:

Deliveroo Commission Tiers (2026)

• Standard commission: 25-35% per order (varies by agreement)
• Marketing fees: Additional 5-10% if you want visibility in the app
• Activation fee: One-off setup cost (varies)
• Tablet rental: Monthly fee for the Deliveroo order tablet

What This Really Costs You

Let's say your restaurant does 400 delivery orders per month at an average of £24 per order. That's £9,600 in monthly revenue. At 25% commission, you're handing over £2,400 every month — that's £28,800 per year.

For most independent restaurants, that's the equivalent of a full-time employee's salary going straight to Deliveroo.

The Alternative: Zero Commission Ordering

The good news? You can take the same orders through your own branded website and pay 0% commission. Platforms like Sordin give you your own ordering website, EPOS system, and marketing tools for a flat monthly fee starting at just £29/month.

Instead of paying £2,400/month in commission, you pay £59/month for the full platform. The maths speaks for itself.

Should You Leave Deliveroo Completely?

Not necessarily. Many restaurants keep Deliveroo as one channel but shift the majority of their orders to their own website. The key is to build direct customer relationships through loyalty programmes, SMS marketing, and a branded ordering experience that customers prefer.

Over time, as more customers order directly, your dependence on commission-heavy platforms naturally decreases.
