Uber Eats just announced a commission hike📈
Thousands of independent restaurants will see their fees increase again. The Lite tier jumps from 15% to 20%, the Plus tier from 20% to 25%, and 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗮 𝟳% 𝗳𝗲𝗲!🤬
But the real story is in Uber One.
Those members account for 60–70% of all orders, and Uber is adding an additional 5% surcharge on those transactions. That means many restaurants on the Plus plan will effectively be paying close to 𝟯𝟬% 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗟𝗠𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗘𝗥!!
For an industry that already operates on razor-thin margins, that’s not a small adjustment — it’s a major hit.
When restaurants pay that much just to process an order, the cost doesn’t disappear. It shows up in higher menu prices, less staff, lower quality, or restaurants simply shutting their doors.
This is exactly why we built appétit differently💯
Independent restaurants deserve ordering platforms that support them, not squeeze them.
There’s never been a better time for independent restaurants to support a local alternative.
For the past 5 years, we’ve been building appétit to give restaurants a platform that actually works in their favor.
$99/month gets you:
• 0% commission on every order
• POS integration (orders fire right into your system)
• A brand new website designed to convert customers to direct ordering
No percentage of your revenue. No games.
Just a platform that supports you, cares about your success, and keeps more money in your restaurant and in the local economy.
If you’re tired of paying 20–30% just to take an order, let’s talk.
