With Gratitude
Thanks for Choosing Local, Directly
If you started on Caviar and ended up on our site, thank you. Taking the extra step to order straight from a small food truck is exactly the kind of choice that keeps independent kitchens like ours cooking.
Caviar has been part of DoorDash since 2019. It may feel more upscale than other apps, but it runs on the same marketplace model, with fees taken from the restaurant and fees added for the customer.
Behind the Menu
The Premium Price of a Marketplace
Whether an app feels casual or high-end, marketplace fees can climb to as much as 48% of an order:
- 30%Restaurant CommissionUp to 30% of the order, paid by the restaurant
- 3%Card ProcessingA 3% credit card processing fee, also paid by the restaurant
- 15%Service FeeUp to 15% added to the customer’s total
- 48%All TogetherUp to 48% of an order in combined fees
We believe fees at that level are predatory, especially for small restaurants working with thin margins. When commissions run that high, menu prices on apps often climb to make up the difference.
- Birria Ramen$15.99
- Pastel de Tres Leches$6.49
| Food at our menu price | $22.48 |
|---|---|
| Restaurant commission (up to 30%) | $6.74 |
| Card processing (3%) | $0.67 |
| Customer service fee (up to 15%) | $3.37 |
| Combined fees, up to 48% | $10.78 |
| What the restaurant could keep | $15.07 |
Order direct: $22.48 at our regular menu price plus one small ordering fee. El Carnitas pays no commission.
Local Dollars
Local Flavor Deserves Local Dollars
A curated app can point you to great local food, but a big share of what you spend there leaves the community. Ordering direct keeps that money with a Manor business that cooks and serves right here in eastern Travis County.
We deliver up to 10 miles around the truck, so Pflugerville and parts of northeast Austin are covered too. Check Areas We Deliver to see where we go.
What Ordering Direct Looks Like
- Menu prices that match the truck window
- A single small fee at checkout, nothing more
- Zero commission taken from our kitchen
