Delivery App Markup Calculator

Why prices differ on delivery apps

Delivery platforms typically charge restaurants a commission on every order, which some chains pass on by raising menu prices specifically for app orders, on top of any separate delivery and service fees shown at checkout. The markup varies a lot by chain and by app, so it's worth checking before you order if the difference matters to you.

FAQ

Why do delivery apps charge more than the in-store menu price?

Many restaurants list higher prices on delivery apps than in-store to help cover the commission the app charges per order — often 15–30% of the order value — plus packaging and delivery logistics. Some chains keep prices identical across both; others don't.

Is the markup the same as the delivery fee?

No. A delivery fee is a separate line-item charge added at checkout. The markup this calculator shows is the difference already baked into the item's price itself, before any delivery fee, service fee, or tip is added on top.

How do I find the in-store price to compare against?

Use TheManued's own verified menu prices for the chain you're ordering from as your in-store baseline, or check the price posted in the restaurant or on its official site.
