DoorDash’s published marketplace plans charge restaurants roughly 15% (Basic), 25% (Plus), or 30% (Premier) per delivery order, plus about 6% on pickup orders. JetFood charges a flat 5% per order with no monthly fee. The trade-off is reach: DoorDash brings the largest national customer base in the US, while JetFood brings local customers in the communities it serves on the East Coast — and lets you keep the customer relationship.

When DoorDash makes sense
You want maximum exposure to a national customer base — tourists, new movers, and people who only ever open the DoorDash app. Many JetFood partners keep a DoorDash listing for discovery and steer regulars to the 5% channel.
When JetFood makes sense
Your orders come mostly from locals and repeat customers. On a $30 order, the difference between 30% and 5% is $7.50 — at 300 orders a month that is roughly $2,250 you keep. You also keep the customer list, so your marketing compounds instead of the platform’s.
These are not mutually exclusive: JetFood is non-exclusive and month-to-month, so many partners run both — the big apps for discovery, JetFood as the low-cost channel for locals and regulars. See JetFood’s full price list or the other platform comparisons.
