Why Restaurants Are Ditching DoorDash for Commission-Free Ordering

April 2025·4 min read·Boom Media

If your restaurant does $30,000 a month in delivery orders through DoorDash, you're handing $6,000–$9,000 to a platform every single month. That's $72,000–$108,000 per year. Gone. Not to your staff. Not to your food costs. To DoorDash.

The Real Cost of Third-Party Delivery

Most restaurant owners know the commission percentages but don't do the full math. Here's how it breaks down at different revenue levels:

A restaurant doing $10K/mo in delivery at a 25% commission pays $2,500/mo = $30,000/year to DoorDash.

A restaurant doing $30K/mo in delivery at 25% pays $7,500/mo = $90,000/year.

A restaurant doing $60K/mo in delivery at 25% pays $15,000/mo = $180,000/year.

That's real money that should be in your pocket, going to a platform that also shows your customers competitor restaurants right next to yours.

What Commission-Free Ordering Actually Looks Like

Boom Online Ordering is our commission-free platform built specifically for restaurants. You pay a flat monthly fee — currently $400–$500/mo — and keep 100% of every order.

At $30K/mo in delivery, switching saves you $7,000+/mo. The platform pays for itself in the first two days of the month.

The Migration Is Easier Than You Think

We import your existing menu, set up the ordering widget on your website, and get you live in under 24 hours. Your customers order directly from you. Orders go straight to your kitchen. You keep everything.

The math sells itself. If your restaurant does any meaningful delivery volume, commission-free ordering is the single highest-ROI switch you can make this year.
