Tax optimization for restaurants delivering food

Profitability 7 min de lecture 10 février 2026

Delivery generates specific charges that are 100% deductible from your taxable income. Packaging, platform commissions, and management tool subscriptions are all expenses that reduce your taxable base.

Transaction fees (25-30% of delivery revenue) are operating expenses. Ensure they are properly accounted for separately to have a clear view of your profitability by channel.

Packaging represents 3 to 8% of your delivery revenue. Keep all invoices and categorize them in a dedicated accounting account. It’s an underestimated deduction lever.

Technological investments (tablets, KDS, aggregators) are depreciable over 3 to 5 years. A KDS with 600 EUR amortized over 3 years represents a 200 EUR annual deductible expense.

The professional training tax credit applies to training related to delivery (HACCP hygiene, platform management). Consult your accountant.

Advice: work with an accountant who is familiar with the restaurant and delivery sectors. The specific VAT (reduced rate for takeaway vs. on-site) requirements necessitate sector-specific expertise.
