Uber Eats fees for restaurants: every plan, priced

Uber Eats charges restaurants a Marketplace Fee on each order: 20% of delivery orders on the Lite plan, 25% on Plus (30% on Uber One member orders if you take part in Uber One) and 30% on Premium. Pickup orders cost 7% on every plan if your app prices match your in-store prices, and 10% if they do not. These US rates took effect on March 11, 2026. On 400 delivery orders a month at a $30 subtotal, that is $2,400, $3,000 or $3,600.

What does Uber Eats charge restaurants per order?

These are the US rates on Uber Eats’ merchant pricing page on October 29, 2026.

Uber’s help page says the fee covers couriers, marketing to bring in customers, payment processing and insurance. Ads are available on every plan. Rates can differ by market. Uber lists lower Lite rates in some cities, such as 15% on delivery in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and New York City, and in New York City and Portland it lists card processing fees on top. Your own rate is in Uber Eats Manager under Payments, then Payouts.

What changed in March 2026?

Uber raised its US Marketplace Fees on March 11, 2026. Lite went from 15% to 20% on delivery, pickup with validated prices from 6% to 7%, and Plus began charging 30% on Uber One member orders for restaurants that take part in Uber One. Premium stayed at 30%, and Plus stayed at 25% on other orders. Uber says restaurants with a custom delivery rate saw it rise 3%, capped at 30%.

On 400 delivery orders a month at a $30 subtotal, the Lite change adds $600 a month: $2,400 instead of $1,800. On 400 pickup orders with validated prices, the 1-point rise adds $120. Without validated prices, pickup is now 10%, or $1,200 a month.

What does that come to in a month?

Say a restaurant gets 400 orders a month through Uber Eats at a $30 subtotal, so $12,000 in sales.

We figured every row on the $30 subtotal, before tax and tip. Uber’s pricing page does not say what its percentages are charged on. On Plus, each Uber One member order costs $1.50 more than a regular order, so if a quarter of your 400 orders come from members, the month costs $3,150 instead of $3,000.

At a typical restaurant profit margin of 3% to 9%, a $30 order at in-store prices earns 90¢ to $2.70. The $7.50 Plus fee is more than that.

How do you get the 7% pickup rate?

Upload your in-store menu (JPG, PNG or PDF) in Uber Eats Manager under Menu Pricing, then set your pickup prices to match it. Uber reviews submissions on a rolling basis and applies the 7% rate within 10 days. Restaurants on a Toast integration are validated through Toast automatically.

Uber’s check covers pickup prices only. If you mark up your app prices to cover the fee, your pickup prices still have to match your menu, or pickup costs 10%.

What do guests pay on top?

Guests pay their own fees on Uber Eats delivery orders. Uber says the delivery fee and all but $0.10 of the service fee go to the courier, who pays part of its fees back to Uber.

• A delivery fee that varies with the restaurant, the guest’s location, demand and courier availability. It goes to the courier, or to the restaurant if it delivers itself. Plus and Premium restaurants are shown with a lower delivery fee than Lite.
• A service fee on courier-delivered orders that varies with basket size. Uber’s help page says $0.10 of it goes to Uber and the rest to the courier.
• Sometimes a small order fee (it goes to the restaurant), a long range fee, a delivery adjustment fee or a priority delivery fee. In Seattle, a local operating fee.
• On orders the restaurant delivers itself, a Marketplace Fee, either a flat amount or a percentage of the subtotal.

Uber does not publish a service fee rate, so we cannot price it on a $30 order. Any service fee your restaurant adds itself comes on top, and restaurant service fees are taxed differently from tips.

Can you avoid the Marketplace Fee?

For orders that come to you directly, yes. Uber’s Webshop puts a commission-free ordering page on your website and social accounts, for pickup or delivery by Uber couriers, at 2.5% + 29¢ per order. It comes with an Uber Eats Marketplace account, so you need to be on Uber Eats to use it, and orders placed inside the Uber Eats app still carry the Marketplace Fee. Uber’s pages do not say what guests pay on Webshop orders. Uber Direct sends couriers to orders you take yourself, starting at $7.99 per delivery, and you set the delivery fee your guests see.

Where Expresso fits

Expresso is a direct ordering page for independent restaurants, with no monthly fee and no contract. Guests order pickup, curbside or scheduled orders from your link, or scan a QR code at the table and pay there. Orders ring on a kitchen tablet ($149 once). Card processing is 3.2% + 30¢ on the order total, including tax, tip and the guest fee, and guests pay a 2.5% convenience fee on the food subtotal, shown at checkout. On the same $30 order, before tax and tip, that is $1.28 to you and 75¢ to the guest, or about $514 a month at 400 orders. Payouts go to your bank every week.

Expresso has no delivery drivers and no marketplace, so it brings you no new guests the way the Uber Eats app can, and it does not need an Uber Eats account. If delivery is most of your takeout, Uber Eats or DoorDash, whose fees we priced the same way, covers what Expresso does not. If you are already on Uber Eats, Webshop costs your restaurant less per order than Expresso ($1.04 against $1.28 on a $30 subtotal, if Uber charges its 2.5% on the subtotal). If most of your online orders are pickup from regulars and you would rather not run them through a delivery app, our comparison of online ordering systems covers the other options.
