Thanks for the Detour
We Appreciate You Taking a Detour
Opening an app is a habit for a lot of us. Looking up a local restaurant’s own site takes intention, and we’re grateful you did. Thank you for considering an order straight from El Carnitas.
Uber Eats is the food delivery side of Uber, which also owns Postmates. Like other marketplaces, it makes money from restaurant commissions and customer fees on each order.
Follow the Money
Where the Money Goes on an App Order
Between the restaurant’s side and yours, marketplace fees can add 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
We call fees like these what they are: predatory for small restaurants. When a third of every order can go to commissions and processing, prices on apps often creep up to compensate.

We deliver up to 10 miles from the truck, including parts of northeast and east Austin. Find your spot on Areas We Deliver.
Ordering Direct Is Refreshingly Simple
- Truck-window prices on the whole menu
