Delivery menus make it easy to focus on the food subtotal while overlooking fees. This estimator combines the amounts you enter so two ordering channels can be compared on the same basis.
Check how the app calculates tip
Some services suggest tip on food only; others may use a subtotal that includes fees. Enter the assumption you intend to use.
Watch for menu markup
The same pizza may cost more on a delivery marketplace than on the restaurant’s own ordering page. Compare the identical items.
Tax treatment varies
Taxes and fee treatment depend on location and service. Use the rate and amounts shown at checkout.
Convenience has real value
The lowest total is not automatically the best choice. Delivery may save travel time, parking or the need to leave a gathering.
Compare two complete checkouts
Enter the direct restaurant order and the marketplace order separately. A marketplace coupon can look generous while higher item prices and service fees erase the saving. Direct delivery may also use a different tip or minimum-order structure.
The estimate is not a receipt
Some taxes apply to particular fees, tips may be calculated differently, and temporary promotions can change the final amount. Use this tool to screen options, then rely on the checkout total before submitting the order.
