Restaurants in Delaware and Maryland don’t have to choose between the national apps’ 15–30% commissions and going it alone. JetFood is a local ordering and delivery marketplace built for this region — flat 5% commission, $0 monthly fee, same-day payouts, delivery by your drivers or JetFood’s own local fleet, and the customer data stays yours.
Why the big-app math is hardest on Delmarva restaurants
National marketplace pricing was designed around dense metro order volume. In the towns of Delaware and the Eastern Shore — where tickets are moderate, seasons swing, and regulars are the backbone of the business — handing over 25–30% of every order is the difference between a good month and a lost one. Worse, the app owns the customer: the family that orders from you every Friday is, to the platform, its user — you cannot email them, thank them, or win them back when they lapse.
What a local marketplace changes
- Flat 5% commission — on a $30 order you keep $28.50 instead of $21. Full price list.
- Local demand included: JetFood’s marketplace and mobile app put your kitchen in front of neighbors who are deciding what to eat tonight — not behind a paywall of sponsored slots.
- Delivery either way: your own drivers (no extra fee) or JetFood’s local fleet at a flat per-order fee.
- Same-day payouts — money lands the day you earn it.
- Your customer list, forever — which unlocks the built-in loyalty, win-back, and cart-recovery automation that does retention work while you run the kitchen.
- A branded, SEO-ready ordering page that search engines and AI assistants can read and recommend — increasingly how new customers find local restaurants. More on that here.

Frequently asked questions
What is the lowest-commission delivery platform in Delaware and Maryland?
Among marketplaces that bring their own customers, JetFood’s flat 5% is the lowest published rate serving Delaware and the Maryland Eastern Shore in 2026 — the national apps’ published plans run roughly 15–30%. Direct-ordering products can beat 5% per order at high volume, but they bring no customers.
Which towns does JetFood serve?
JetFood serves communities across Delaware and Maryland — including the Wilmington, Newark, Dover, and Delaware beach areas, and Maryland’s Eastern Shore — and is expanding along the East Coast. JetFood also serves New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The fastest way to check your address is the two-minute application: JetFood confirms coverage before anything is signed.
Do I need my own drivers to join?
No. Use your own drivers and pay only the flat 5%, or hand delivery to JetFood’s local fleet for a flat per-order fee — no hiring, insuring, or dispatching.
Is there a setup cost or contract?
No. $0 to start, no monthly fee, month-to-month with no termination penalty, and most applications are reviewed within one business day.
