Delivery Fee Monitoring for US Food Delivery Platforms
The menu price is only part of what a customer pays. We track delivery fees, service fees, small-order charges and surge pricing across DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub, so US restaurants and brands see the true checkout cost — and how it compares to competitors.
Hidden fees decide the real price — and you can't see them
On US delivery apps, a customer's final bill is the menu price plus delivery fee, service fee, small-order charges and surge pricing. These fees vary by platform, location and time of day. A restaurant may believe it is price-competitive, while the total checkout cost tells customers a very different story — and that gap quietly costs orders.
Fee monitoring that reveals the true delivered price
This is decision-ready fee data — built so your pricing and channel teams understand what customers actually pay, not just the menu price.
Menu price plus every fee — the real checkout total a customer sees.
Surge and time-based fee changes captured across the day.
From your location list to a validated fee monitoring pilot.

About delivery fee monitoring
Delivery fee monitoring tracks the full set of charges a food delivery platform adds to an order — delivery fee, service fee, small-order fee and surge pricing. It shows restaurants and brands the true cost a customer pays beyond the menu price.
We capture delivery fees, service fees, small-order or basket fees, surge or busy-area pricing, and any free-delivery thresholds, so you see the complete checkout cost on each platform.
Yes. Delivery and surge fees change by time of day, demand and location. With frequent refresh we capture how fees move across the day so you can see peak-time pricing patterns.
We cover DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub as standard, and can add other US delivery platforms on request, all reporting fee data into one consistent schema.
Fee data can be refreshed multiple times per day to capture surge and time-based changes, or daily for broader monitoring. We confirm a realistic cadence before the pilot.
We deliver CSV, JSON and Parquet files, REST API endpoints, SFTP and cloud destinations, plus an optional dashboard comparing the total delivered cost by platform and location.
