Food Delivery Cost Explained:
Just a decade ago, having your favorite restaurant meals delivered to your door was a rare treat, mostly limited to pizza or Chinese food. Today, thanks to the internet and smartphone apps, meal delivery has transformed from a luxury into a daily necessity for countless families and individuals. Whether it’s parents working late, catering for events, a special occasion, or simply satisfying a late-night craving, restaurant delivery has become an indispensable convenience.
However, the simplicity of ordering has often been overshadowed by the complicated, opaque pricing models of many third-party delivery apps. Hidden fees, surging prices, and membership tiers that promise savings but rarely deliver faster food – it all adds up to confusion for the customer and frustration for the restaurants.
At Fetch A Meal, we believe food delivery costs don't need to be complicated.
That's why we've designed a straightforward, honest pricing model that benefits everyone:
No Hidden Restaurant Fees: We never add onto existing restaurant menu prices, nor do we charge restaurants a fee or commission for orders placed through our platform. What you see on their menu is the price you pay for the food.
One Simple Delivery Fee: We have a single, transparent delivery fee paid by the customer. No confusing tiers, no unexpected surcharges. ($7.99 Delivery Fee within a 15 mi. radius) not including taxes and gratuity.
Fair Driver Compensation: Every order includes an automatic gratuity of $3.00 or 15% of the total order (whichever is greater), which is distributed directly to your delivery driver. We understand that delivery drivers cover significant costs like vehicle payments, maintenance, insurance, and fuel/charging. This direct, fair compensation ensures drivers are well-supported and motivated to provide the best service possible.
With Fetch A Meal, you get your food delivered fresh, and you can feel good knowing your money supports local restaurants and ensures fair pay for the drivers who bring your meals to your door. It’s simply the right way to deliver.
