Wolt Alternative
The commission-free Wolt alternative
Stop renting your customers from a 30%-commission delivery app. With RestApp you keep 100% of every order on your own branded site, apps, EPOS and data.
The catch with Wolt
A marketplace that takes ~20-30% per order and owns your customer
Wolt (owned by DoorDash) is a third-party marketplace, so every order carries a commission of roughly 20-30% of order value, plus a platform fee on top, with higher rates for Wolt+ orders and penalties for late or missing items - pushing the real cost of an order toward 25-35%. The diner who orders in the Wolt app is Wolt's customer, not yours: you get only aggregated, platform-controlled analytics rather than full customer data, so you can't easily remarket, build your own loyalty, or bring guests back without paying the platform again. And to stay visible against nearby rivals you're nudged toward paid Wolt Ads (sponsored listings on a pay-per-order, CPC or CPM basis), so getting seen becomes a recurring extra cost on top of commission.
The cost of Wolt
Wolt is a DoorDash-owned delivery marketplace that charges restaurants a per-order commission of roughly 20%-30% of order value (often cited as 25%-35% all-in once a platform fee is added), with separate tiers for Wolt-delivered, Wolt+ subscriber and pickup orders, plus optional pay-per-order/CPC Wolt Ads to rank higher.

Questions & Answers
How much commission does Wolt take from restaurants, and how does that compare to RestApp? +
Wolt charges a per-order commission rather than a flat fee, typically around 20%-30% of order value, with a separate platform fee added on top and slightly higher rates for orders from Wolt+ subscribers (pickup/takeaway orders are charged a reduced rate). Once that platform fee, plus any penalties for late or missing items, are included, the effective cost of an order is often cited in the 25%-35% range. Exact rates are individually set in your Wolt contract and vary by market, volume and exclusivity. RestApp charges 0% commission on your orders - you keep the full order value and pay a simple fixed monthly plan instead.
If diners order through Wolt, do I own the customer relationship and data? +
No. When a guest orders in the Wolt app, that customer belongs to Wolt (owned by DoorDash), not your restaurant. You get aggregated, platform-controlled analytics and insights rather than full individual customer data, so you can't easily email, text or remarket to diners or run your own loyalty independently of the platform. With RestApp, every order comes through your own branded website and native iOS/Android apps, so you own your customer data and have a direct relationship with each diner by default.
Does Wolt give my restaurant its own branded apps and a cloud EPOS like RestApp? +
No. Wolt is a delivery marketplace - customers order under the Wolt brand inside the Wolt app, not on a website or app of your own, and Wolt is not a point-of-sale system; it integrates with third-party POS providers via its developer tools and middleware partners. It also doesn't provide e-menu/QR table ordering or a loyalty program of your own. RestApp includes your own branded website plus native iOS and Android apps, a full cloud EPOS, e-menu/QR table ordering, loyalty and KDS in one platform, with 24/7 support.
Do I have to pay extra on Wolt to get seen, and what does RestApp cost? +
Often, yes. Beyond commission, Wolt sells Wolt Ads - sponsored listings, banners, collections and products that push you into top positions in the app, charged on a pay-per-order, cost-per-click or cost-per-impression basis. So visibility against competing restaurants becomes a recurring extra cost. RestApp has no pay-to-rank fees and uses simple monthly plans; because customers order directly from your own site and apps, you aren't bidding against other restaurants for attention.
Can I switch from Wolt to RestApp and still take delivery orders? +
Yes. Many restaurants keep Wolt running as a discovery channel for new customers while moving their repeat and loyal diners onto RestApp's commission-free branded ordering - for example by adding a QR code or flyer to each Wolt order pointing to their own site. New customers find you on Wolt; loyal customers then order direct at 0% commission instead of 20-30%. RestApp's team helps you set up your menu, branding, website, apps, EPOS and loyalty, so over time your direct orders grow and your marketplace dependency shrinks.
