How is ordering direct different from Seamless?
There’s no marketplace in the middle. You order from El Carnitas, you pay our menu price plus one small fee, and we pay no commission on your food.

Skip Seamless and Order Straight From the Truck
Seamless is a household name for online food ordering, especially in New York City, where it got its start. Here in Manor, the most direct route to great Mexican food is ordering straight from El Carnitas.

Welcome
Thank You for Stopping By
Whether you moved here from a place where Seamless is everywhere or you simply have the app on your phone, we appreciate you giving a local food truck a chance. Choosing to order direct is a small decision that makes a real difference for us.
Seamless and Grubhub have been part of the same company since 2013, so they share the same marketplace approach: commissions from restaurants plus fees for customers.
Do the Math
The Math Behind Marketplace Fees
Marketplace charges come from several directions at once, and together they can reach up to 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
In our view, those fees are predatory. They make it harder for small restaurants to stay open, and they often lead to higher prices on the app than you’d pay at the truck window.
