Uber Eats Fees for Restaurants, Explained (2026)
Uber Eats charges restaurants between 15% and 30% commission on orders in 2026, depending on the plan tier, with payment processing added on top. As with the other marketplaces, the effective cost per order typically runs higher than the base commission once promotions are included.

How the Uber Eats tiers work
Uber Eats sells plans the same way its rivals do: a lower commission tier that keeps you present in the app, and higher tiers (typically in the 25-30% range) that buy reach, delivery radius, and promotional placement. The exact tier names shift, but the economics don't - more visibility costs more commission.

What an order really costs
Add card processing and any in-app promotion to a 25-30% commission and a single delivery order can cost a restaurant a third or more of the ticket. Against a low-single-digit margin, that is the difference between a profitable order and one you lose money on.
The cost the fee doesn't show
Uber Eats keeps the customer relationship. You fulfil the order, but the diner is Uber's - their contact details, their history, and the next-order decision live in Uber's app, not your database. Marking up your Uber Eats menu offsets the fee without changing who owns the customer.
