Transparency First
Our Fees
We believe you deserve to know exactly what you're paying for. Here's a clear breakdown of Food KAB's service fees — and why they exist.
What You're Paying
These are Food KAB platform fees — not restaurant fees. They help us keep operations running, cover payment processing, and continue building the best local food delivery service in our community.
Delivery Orders
15%
Our standard service fee on delivery orders is 15% of your food subtotal. This covers order processing, real-time tracking, customer support, and platform operations.
Use our always-available 10% off delivery discount to bring your effective service fee down to just 5%. Look for the deal banner on any restaurant's page — just tap to apply.
Pickup Orders
8.5%
Our takeout service fee on pickup orders is 8.5% of your food subtotal. Even for pickup, there's a lot happening behind the scenes — order routing, payment processing, and keeping the platform running smoothly.
Use our always-available 5% off pickup discount to bring your effective fee down to just 3.5%. The deal banner is right there on the ordering page — tap it before checkout.
Good to Know
Discounts are always available. Our click-to-apply discounts (10% delivery, 5% pickup) are not limited-time promotions. They're always there for you. We just ask that you apply them yourself — it's one tap.
Delivery fees are separate. The service fee above is what Food KAB charges. There's also a delivery fee on delivery orders that goes directly to your driver — we don't take a cut of that.
Restaurants don't pay these fees — you do. Unlike other platforms that charge restaurants 30%+ and make them raise prices, our fees are transparent and charged directly to you at checkout. What you see on the menu is what the restaurant charges.
Our drivers earn real pay — not $2 like the other guys. While apps like UberEats and DoorDash pay drivers a $2 base, Food KAB pays $4 for deliveries up to 5 miles, plus $0.75 per mile after that — before your tip. That's how we attract drivers who actually care about your order.
Where We're Headed
Our Commitment to Lower Rates
We're not here to maximize fees — we're here to build something great for our community. Right now, our current rates help us cover the real costs of running Food KAB: servers, payment processing, driver support, customer service, and continued development.
But this isn't where we want to stay. Our goal is to grow to a volume where we can permanently reduce our rates — and we mean permanently.

5,000
Monthly orders is our target. When we reach this milestone, the increased volume will allow us to cover costs at significantly lower per-order fees. We project that at this level, we'll be able to lock in industry-leading low rates.
