Hidden fees Uber Eats: what’s not in the grid

VAT on commission

Uber Eats charges the gross commission. The 20% VAT on this commission is added. On a basket of 30 € at 25% HT = 7.50 € HT, which is 9 € TTC once the VAT has been added. Be careful with your calculations.

Service fees merchandise

According to your region, Uber Eats charges a service fee of 1.5 to 2% on the total order amount above the commission. Tracked in the contract, but often forgotten in projections.

Sponsored / pub Uber Eats Manager

The Plus package includes an optional advertising budget, but strongly pushed by Uber Eats salespeople – typically 5-10% of revenue in addition if you activate Sponsored locations. It’s not mandatory, but it has become almost mandatory to remain visible in competitive areas. See our guide Uber Eats ranking algorithm.

Primes et bonus restaurateur

Uber Eats regularly launches “premium” or “boost” programs where they ask you to finance a promotion (–15% discount for the customer) in exchange for a featured placement. The cost is shared: for a –15% promotion, you actually pay 7-10% on your side. See our Uber Eats premium guide.

Disputes and objections

Uber Eats issues certain customer refunds to the restaurant without any possibility of contestation (missing article not proven, temperature problem). Invisible but recurring cost: 1-2% of Uber Eats revenue.

Real commission Uber Eats on 25K/month

Restaurant making €25,000 HT/month on Uber Eats, standard Plus package at 27% HT:

Commission HT | 25 000 × 27 % | 6 750 € TVA sur commission | 6 750 × 20 % | 1 350 € Frais service marchand (1,5 %) | 25 000 × 1,5 % | 375 € Sponsored ads (estim. 6 %) | 25 000 × 6 % | 1 500 € Coût des litiges (1,5 %) | 25 000 × 1,5 % | 375 € Coût total Uber Eats | | 10 350 € Coût réel en % du CA | | 41,4 %

The contract states 27%. You are paying 41%. The 14-point difference = €168,000 over 12 months for a restaurant with a €25,000/month turnover on Uber Eats.

How to reduce Uber Eats commission

Lever 1 – Negotiate the rate

Targets: to go from 27% to 22-23% starting from €20,000/month. Uber rarely offers this spontaneously – it needs to be requested with a volume argument plus a plausible threat of moving to Deliveroo. Savings: €1,000-€1,500/month.

Lever 2 — Disable Sponsored or drive it strictly

Cut Sponsored for 1 month and measure the drop in revenue. Often −10 to −20 %, which is acceptable if you’re earning a 6% margin. If the drop is stronger, keep Sponsored but with a capped budget — never let Uber Eats Manager auto-allocate for you.

Lever 3 – Systematically challenge disputes

Automation tool type Fooderise or structured manual dispute – recovering an average of 50% of disputed claims, representing ~0.7% of turnover. On a turnover of 25 K€/month = 175 €/month recovered.

Lever 4 – Tilt to Plus Lite if clean fleet

If you have internal delivery staff, the Lite package at 15-18% instead of 27% represents 9-12 points of margin in addition. The profitability threshold is approximately 40 orders/day on Uber Eats – below, the cost of a clean fleet exceeds the economy.

Lever 5 — Optimize the average ticket

To a proportional commission, increasing the average ticket via menu optimization, photos, suggestions and combos is the purest lever. Increasing from €18 to €22 average ticket on 1,500 orders/month = +€6,000 in revenue, including ~€3,600 net profit after commission.

Lever 6 – Push the direct controls

Long-term goal: recover 15-20% of the Uber Eats volume on your direct channel (website, app, QR code payment, WhatsApp). 0% commission on this portion = 30-40% value margin gain.
