Delivery analytics

What third party orders actually earn after commission, and whether the channel pays.

Delivery analytics in SigmaPointPi
/verticals/restaurant/delivery

A delivery order at full menu price nets far less after commission. At commission rates common in the sector, a dish with thirty percent food cost can be close to breakeven or worse.

This computes contribution per order by channel, after commission and after packaging, which is the only figure that answers whether the channel is worth it.

How to work this page

Read contribution after commission

Gross order value is not revenue to you. Commission comes off before anything else.

Include packaging and the extra labour

Both are real costs specific to the channel and both are routinely left out.

Compare channels against each other and against dine-in

Commission rates differ by platform and by agreement. The comparison usually surprises people.

Check the marketplace tax treatment

Under facilitator law the platform collects and remits sales tax. Those sales still appear on your return as gross and are then deducted.

Every figure from the desktop appears here, stacked rather than reduced. Tables scroll inside themselves so the page never moves sideways, and figures keep their separators and their alignment at every width.

Questions people actually ask

Should we price delivery higher?

Most operators do, and the platforms generally permit it. This shows what margin a given uplift would restore.

Is the channel worth it at breakeven?

Sometimes. Incremental orders in dead hours using labour you are already paying for can be worth taking at thin margin. Orders during a rush that displace dine-in are not.
