Platform	Restaurant platform charge shown	Customer platform charge shown
HappyCateringRestaurant processing and net delivery costs still apply.	Restaurant$00% platform commission	Customer$0No platform service fee
Fee details for HappyCatering No platform commission, monthly, listing or setup fee, and no added food markup. Actual card-processing charges are deducted from the restaurant's settlement. For delivery we arrange, the restaurant covers the courier cost after the customer's delivery payment; for example, with a $10 customer delivery payment and a $15 courier cost, the restaurant covers the $5 difference. No markup on either. No platform service fee. Customers see delivery, tax and any tip itemized at checkout. Sources: HappyCatering pricing policy.
Olo AppSeparate restaurant software costs depend on contract.	Restaurant$00% app commission	Customer$255% network fee
Fee details for Olo App The Olo App states it does not charge restaurants a commission. Olo also sells restaurant software, and its billing documentation lists contract-dependent charges such as monthly per-location platform or technology fees, order packages, per-order transaction fees and a 1% payment gateway fee for restaurants not using Olo Pay. Those depend on each restaurant's agreement and are not allocated to this order. Every Olo App order includes a 5% Olo Network Fee, shown here on the food subtotal. Restaurants may add a delivery fee. This is a separate customer fee, not a food-price markup. Olo states menu prices match the restaurant's. Food plus the network fee: $525, before delivery, tax and other applicable charges. Not a complete invoice.

HUNGRYHappyBoards experience, see note below	Restaurant$10020% commission; processing extra	CustomerAmount not confirmed
Fee details for HUNGRY Reported 20% commission on retail food value plus a 3% processing deduction on the post-commission amount. HappyBoards' founder reports that an October 19, 2026 email communicated the commission and that order PDFs confirm the processing basis. The table shows the commission; the row's breakdown adds processing, about 22.4% of food combined. Any other applicable adjustments are not modeled. Processing breakdown Commission 20% of $500 $100 Processing 3% of the $400 remainder $12 Combined shown deductions $112 Remaining after these deductions $388 Combined rate before rounding: 20% + (80% × 3%) = 22.4%. The row shows the $100 commission only. The remaining amount is before other possible adjustments, and it is not the saving from switching, since HappyCatering orders also carry actual-cost card processing. The reported terms cover the restaurant side only. Sources: Terms reported by HappyBoards’ founder, October 19, 2026. Other restaurants’ terms may differ..

How we calculate this

Restaurant figures apply the shown percentage to food only, rounded to the cent. Customer figures appear only where a platform publishes a fixed percentage; where fees depend on location, order size, plan or membership, the row says "Varies at checkout"; where a fee exists but its rate is not published, or the amount is unresolved, it says "Amount not confirmed." Neither is ever shown as $0. Published national reference rates are kept separate from New York City terms, which appear in the fee details where they apply.

We have not added separate delivery, processing, advertising, tax or tip amounts. Some plans include services within their published fee, and monthly software charges are kept separate from order-level charges. We do not show complete customer totals or restaurant payouts, because those depend on charges this page does not model.

Published restaurant rates were last checked October 17, 2026 unless a row says otherwise. HappyBoards-reported terms are dated October 19, 2026 and are one restaurant's experience, not public rate cards. A platform fee is not platform profit, since it can fund delivery, payments, support and acquisition. We do not claim identical services or the lowest final checkout total.
