The part nobody advertises
What Ordering Direct Actually Changes
A plate at $22 sounds straightforward until you see how a marketplace order divides it. The commission comes off the restaurant’s side, and separate fees come off yours.
Through a delivery marketplace
Fees stack on both sides of the order
-
Commission charged to the restaurant up to 30%
Taken out of the food you ordered, before the kitchen sees a cent.
-
Credit card processing about 3%
Charged on top of the commission above.
-
Fees charged to you, the customer around 15%
Service and delivery fees added at checkout, separate from the tip.
Added together across both sides, as much as 48% of what the order generates can go to fees rather than to the food.
Direct from La Chaparrita de Kent
One small fee, and that is the end of it
-
No commission on the restaurant. Nothing is deducted from the order before it reaches the kitchen.
-
The same menu prices you would pay calling us or walking up to the window. We are not marking the menu up to absorb a commission, because there is not one.
-
A small ordering fee, and nothing else. No stacked service charge, no percentage skimmed off both ends.
The result: the price is the price, and what you pay goes to the people who cooked your food.
Figures above are the rates commonly reported across the third-party delivery industry. Commission tiers, processing rates, and customer-side fees vary by marketplace, by plan, and over time — check any given marketplace’s current terms for its own numbers.
Keeping it in Kent
Bigger Order, Bigger Difference
Commission is a percentage, so the larger the plate order, the more of it a marketplace takes — and the more that leaves Kent along with it.
Ordering direct on a full plate is where the gap is widest. Same food, same menu price, and the difference stays with a local kitchen instead of a distant one.
Three ways, all direct
