Restaurants in New Jersey and Pennsylvania don’t have to choose between the national apps’ 15–30% commissions and going it alone. JetFood is a local ordering and delivery marketplace serving the 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 hurts independent kitchens here
In a market as competitive as the Philadelphia area and New Jersey’s neighborhood-restaurant scene, the big apps’ economics compound fast: 25–30% commission per delivery order, plus the promotions and sponsored placement you increasingly need just to stay visible against every other kitchen paying the same platform. And 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 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.
