FAQ
Pricing questions restaurant operators ask most often
How does Platesready pricing work?
Platesready charges a 5% platform fee on completed orders plus standard Stripe payment processing (2.9% + 30¢). There is no monthly software subscription, no setup fee, and no per-feature add-on charges.
What is the 3% first-year migration offer?
For qualified businesses switching from another platform, Platesready offers a reduced 3% platform fee for the first year. After year one, the standard 5% rate applies. Standard Stripe processing remains separate.
Are reservations included in the platform fee?
Yes. Table booking with reminders, booking rules, and optional paid deposits is included for all restaurant partners at no extra charge.
What payment processing fees apply?
Stripe processes all payments at their standard rate (currently 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction in Canada). Stripe fees are billed by Stripe directly and are separate from the Platesready platform fee.
Is there a monthly fee or minimum commitment?
No. There is no monthly software subscription and no minimum order volume requirement. You pay the platform fee only on completed orders.
Is Platesready cheaper than Uber Eats, DoorDash, or SkipTheDishes for my restaurant?
For orders from your own customers, yes. Delivery marketplaces typically charge 25–30% commission on every order; Platesready charges a flat 5% platform fee plus standard Stripe processing (about 2.5–3%). On $10,000 of monthly orders that is roughly $750 in fees with Platesready versus $2,500–$3,000 on a 25–30% marketplace.
Do I get a free website or ordering page for my restaurant?
Yes. Every Platesready partner gets a branded, hosted online ordering and reservations page built for them — no setup fee, no monthly software fee, and no developers needed. You only pay the 5% platform fee on completed orders.
Is Platesready commission-free for restaurants?
No — Platesready charges a flat 5% platform fee on completed orders plus standard Stripe payment processing, and nothing else. There is no monthly subscription, no setup fee, and no per-feature charges, which is why most operators compare it against the 25–30% commissions delivery marketplaces charge.
Who owns the customer data on Platesready?
The restaurant does. Customer names, contact details, and order history stay with your business — they are not locked inside a marketplace — so you can reach your regulars directly.
