Uber Eats runs three marketplace plans, and — like most delivery platforms — the rates have moved over time. Here's where they currently stand, plan by plan, plus the fees that sit outside the headline commission number.
| Plan | Delivery commission | Pickup (validated pricing) |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | 20% | 7% |
| Plus | 25% (up to 30% on Uber One orders) | 7% |
| Premium | 30% | 7% |
Pickup commission runs 7% across all three plans, but only if the restaurant's in-app pricing is validated to match in-store pricing — without that validation, pickup jumps to 10%. Restaurants using their own delivery staff instead of Uber's network pay a flat 15% self-delivery fee rather than the marketplace commission rate.
The Lite plan's commission moved up from 15% to 20% in a rate adjustment earlier in 2026, and Plus- tier orders placed by Uber One subscribers now carry a higher effective rate than standard Plus orders. Restaurants that priced their delivery strategy around older published rates are worth double-checking against the current merchant agreement — the plan name staying the same doesn't guarantee the rate has.
As with most delivery platforms, the published commission is the floor, not the ceiling. A few things commonly push the effective rate higher:
Restaurants doing meaningful monthly volume through the platform can sometimes negotiate a reduced rate directly with an Uber Eats account manager — it's not guaranteed, but for higher-volume locations it's a conversation worth having before assuming the published tier rate is final.
Same principle as any marketplace app: Uber Eats is genuinely useful for reaching customers who weren't already looking for the restaurant by name. The commission stops paying for anything once that same customer becomes a repeat order — at that point, the discovery has already happened, and the fee is just a tax on a relationship the restaurant already owns.
