In short
Bobby and Uber Eats charge restaurants in different ways. Uber Eats takes a 20% to 30% marketplace fee per delivery order; Bobby's plan is a flat $2 per food order. The flat fee wins on typical and large orders because it does not scale with the ticket.
Uber Eats vs a flat fee, side by side
| Uber Eats | Bobby (pre-launch) | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee model | Percentage commission | Flat fee per order |
| Delivery orders | 20% to 30% of the order subtotal | Flat $2 per order |
| Who the fee scales with | Grows with the order total | Fixed, whatever the order total |
| What the restaurant keeps | Order subtotal minus the marketplace fee | 100% of the menu price |
The math at different sizes
The Uber Eats marketplace fee is a percentage, so it climbs with every dollar of the order. A flat $2 does not move.
| Order subtotal | Uber Eats | Bobby (flat) |
|---|---|---|
| $15 order | $4.50 (30%) | $2 |
| $40 order | $12 (30%) | $2 |
| $100 order | $30 (30%) | $2 |
Uber Eats keeps a slice of every order, now 20 to 30 percent by tier after the March 2026 increase. Bobby would charge a flat $2 per order instead, letting the restaurant keep the full menu price with a fee that never grows with the total.
The gap gets wider as orders get bigger. A 30 percent fee on a $60 order is $18; Bobby's planned flat fee is $2. Only on the smallest orders does a percentage land below $2.
