A cut of every order, or one flat fee
KanEats Foodie is a phone-answering service that charges restaurants one flat fee, not a cut of each order. The delivery apps take up to 30% of every order they handle. Foodie answers your own phone, as your restaurant, for $129 a month, per location. It takes nothing from the order.
The math
$8,000 a month through the apps
At 25% commission, the apps keep $2,000 of it, every month. Foodie is $129 a month whatever you sell, and every dollar of a phone order is yours. Put in your own numbers.
| Question | Delivery apps | KanEats Foodie |
|---|---|---|
| What they take from each order | Up to 30%, depending on the app and plan | Nothing. $0 commission |
| What you pay | A share of every order, so a busy month costs more | $129 a month, per location, the same every month |
| Who the customer pays | The app, which pays you later, minus its cut | You, directly, the way they do now |
| How the customer orders | In the app | They call your number. Foodie answers as your restaurant |
| Your phone number | Not involved | You keep it. Busy and unanswered calls forward to Foodie |
| Contract | Varies by app | None. Cancel any month |
Commission rates vary by app and plan. KanEats charges one flat monthly fee per location, never a commission.
When the apps still make sense
If you want to be found by people scrolling an app, that is what the apps are for. Foodie is for the calls already coming to your number, so none of them go to the next place on the list.
Questions
- Will Foodie bring me new customers like the apps do?
- Not the way an app marketplace does. Foodie answers the calls you already get, including the ones you miss on a busy night. Your kitchen is also listed in the free KanEats directory.
- Do I have to leave the delivery apps?
- No. You can keep the apps and use Foodie so your phone orders, which carry no commission, never go unanswered.
- How much does it cost?
- $129 a month, per location, with no commission and no contract. Groups of 10 locations or more get 20% off the monthly fee, per location.
