Uber Eats fee structure example
Approximately, this is how the unit economics should reflect:
- Amount paid by customer: $50 + $5 = $55
- The amount received by XYZ restaurant: $50 – (30% commission on order) = $35
- Delivery Charges: Pickup Fee + Delivery Fee + Per Mile Charges = $4 + $2 + ($2 x 3) = $12
- Net Revenue for Uber Eats = ($55 – $35) – $12 = $8
