foodpanda and Glovo commissions, explained for your restaurant
Aggregators like foodpanda and Glovo take 25% to 35% of every order. A store on your own brand moves orders to your own channel and keeps the customer and their data. On top of that, a structured menu is citable by AI engines. Below are the steps to cut commissions and move orders to your own store.
Essential steps (short answer)
- Open a food shop on your own brand, with your own menu, cart and checkout.
- Move loyal customers to your own channel: a QR on the packaging, a flyer in the bag, a "order directly from us" offer.
- Add Menu + Product + Offer JSON-LD with price, allergens and availability, so AI recommends your menu.
- Enable card + cash-on-delivery payments with funds straight to you.
- Keep the aggregators only for new customers, not for repeat customers.
Real example: how much you save
A restaurant with 300 orders a month, an average value of €16, turns over €4,800. At a 30% foodpanda/Glovo commission, that is €1,440 a month in commission. If 200 of the 300 orders move to your own store, the 30% commission avoided is €960 a month, over €11,500 a year. The fixed store subscription is deducted from this saving.
Why an AI agent recommends your own menu
- It reads the per-dish price — exact, in text and in Menu/Offer JSON-LD.
- It reads allergens and ingredients — in a table, not in a menu image.
- It reads the delivery zone and time — clear, extractable text.
- A well-structured own menu has richer data than an aggregator profile.
Common mistakes
- Leaving all orders on aggregators and paying commission even for repeat customers.
- Price shown only in a menu image — the AI agent cannot read it.
- Product/Menu schema without offers — Google and AI ignore it.
