DoorDash vs Direct Ordering: The Real Cost Breakdown
Avco Team · March 26, 2026
DoorDash can drive order volume, but it comes at the cost of high commissions. Over time, these fees significantly reduce your overall profitability.
Direct ordering with a branded mobile app allows you to keep 100 % of your revenue. It also gives you full control over your brand and customer experience.
Owning your customer data enables smarter marketing and stronger relationships. This leads to more repeat orders and long-term growth.
AI search brings in customers actively looking for your food, while AI-powered marketing keeps them coming back.
Avco Premier provides a complete system that helps restaurants move away from DoorDash and toward sustainable, profitable growth.

We partner with DoorDash for delivery, so you can use your own drivers or a third-party service while customers order directly from you.
Yes! Stay on third-party delivery apps if you want. But when you invest in ads or signs, you send customers to your own Avco Premier ordering page, not a third-party site taking a 30% cut.
