DoorDash vs RestApp

On the DoorDash Marketplace, restaurants pay a per-order commission based on their plan: 15% on Basic, 25% on Plus and 30% on Premier, calculated on the order subtotal before tax and tip. Pickup orders are 6% on every plan. There can also be payment processing and optional Sponsored Listing ad fees on top. RestApp charges 0% commission on orders that come through your own branded website and apps, so the full value of each order stays with you on a simple monthly plan.

No. When someone orders on the DoorDash Marketplace, that diner is DoorDash's customer, not your restaurant's, and you don't receive the full customer relationship or data to remarket to them directly. DoorDash itself notes that marketplace revenue doesn't grow your brand or give you your customers' data the way owning your own channel does. With RestApp, every order comes through your own branded website and native iOS/Android apps, so you own the customer data and have a direct relationship with each diner.

Yes. DoorDash Storefront lets diners order from your own website with 0% commission, and it's now free aside from a 2.9% + $0.30 payment-processing fee per order. But Storefront is just an online-ordering layer powered by DoorDash; it doesn't include a point-of-sale, native branded iOS/Android apps, QR e-menu/table ordering, loyalty, KDS or inventory. RestApp is also commission-free and bundles your website, native apps, a full cloud EPOS, e-menu, loyalty, KDS and inventory into one platform.

Not in the same way. DoorDash is a marketplace and ordering provider, not a point-of-sale system; it integrates with third-party POS providers rather than replacing your till, and it doesn't ship native iOS and Android apps under your own brand (Storefront is a branded website only). RestApp includes your own branded website plus native iOS and Android apps, a built-in cloud EPOS, e-menu/QR table ordering, loyalty, KDS and inventory in a single platform with 24/7 support.

Often, yes. Beyond commission, DoorDash sells Sponsored Listings that put your restaurant at the top of the homepage, search results and partner placements, charged on a pay-per-order basis. On the Premier plan some automatic ads are included, but otherwise visibility against competing restaurants becomes a recurring extra cost. RestApp has no pay-to-rank fees, because customers order directly from your own site and apps rather than competing for placement inside someone else's app.
