# Delivery vs pickup: which makes you more money?

Delivery brings orders you would not get otherwise. Pickup on your own page keeps the most of each order. Most restaurants need both.

## Step by step

1. **Delivery on an app.** Reaches new guests; costs the highest percentage.
2. **Pickup on an app.** Usually a lower fee, but still a fee, and the guest belongs to the app.
3. **Pickup on your own page.** No commission; card processing only; the guest is yours.
4. **Delivery from your own page.** You set the delivery fee; drivers come from a delivery partner.
5. **Move regulars to pickup.** Remind regulars that ordering pickup from your page is faster and often cheaper for them too.

300 pickup orders at $30 is $9,000. With a 20% app fee you pay $1,800. On your own EatFuti page: $99 for Start plus card processing, about $351, so about $450. Use your own numbers.

## Questions owners ask

### Should I stop offering delivery?

No. Delivery reaches guests who will not drive. Just make sure pickup has an easy path on your own page.

### Do guests prefer pickup?

Many do when it is fast and cheaper. Order ahead with a ready time makes it easy.
