SkipTheDishes Commission and Fees for Restaurants (2026)

If you are trying to find SkipTheDishes' commission rate online, you have probably noticed that Skip does not publish one. Uber Eats and DoorDash post their plan percentages; Skip sets rates in each restaurant's partner agreement. This guide explains what we could verify from Skip's own pages, what the BC fee cap means, how Skip compares with the published Uber Eats and DoorDash rates in Canada, and how to work out your own number.

Quick answer

SkipTheDishes pricing & fees (2026): what we could verify

From Skip's partner site (partner.skipthedishes.com, as of Oct 2026):

What we could not verify: the Marketplace commission percentage, any tablet fee, and SkipGo's per-delivery amount. These vary; see their partner page or your agreement. We deliberately did not repeat third-party estimates that we could not confirm with Skip.

The BC delivery fee cap explained

In British Columbia, the Food Delivery Service Fee Act limits fees for core ordering and delivery services to no more than 20% of the order value, excluding tax and tip, for platforms serving 500+ restaurants. Platforms may charge more only for optional enhanced services that you agree to and can cancel (Government of BC, as of Oct 2026).

In practice, if your restaurant is in BC and you are paying Skip, Uber Eats or DoorDash more than 20% for core ordering and delivery, you should have agreed to optional enhanced services, and you must be able to cancel them and return to the 20% cap. The BC government accepts complaints at the email listed on its page.

Because Skip does not publish rates, the fairest comparison is your own Skip agreement against Uber Eats and DoorDash's published Canadian plans.

How to find your actual Skip commission

  1. Open the earnings statements in your Skip Partner Portal (Skip Partner Portal, as of Oct 2026).
  2. Divide the total fees Skip deducted by your gross order value for the same period.
  3. Do it separately for delivery, pickup and self-delivery orders if you offer all three.
  4. Compare the result with the published Uber Eats and DoorDash rates in the table above.
  5. If you are in BC and your effective rate is above 20%, check what enhanced services you agreed to.

What your Skip commission costs: a what-if table

Since rates are private, here is what a range of possible rates would cost on $10,000/month of Skip orders. These are illustrations, not Skip's rates:

Compare that with a flat-monthly plan with 0% order fees (see pricing; the entry plan adds a per-order fee) for orders you move to your own ordering page. Use the calculator with your real numbers.

How to pay less commission on Skip orders

  1. Know your effective rate using your earnings statements.
  2. Promote pickup and self-delivery if your agreement prices them lower.
  3. Invite repeat customers to order direct with a bag insert or QR code and a small reward.
  4. Use flat-fee delivery for direct orders, such as SkipGo or Uber Direct, so you can still offer delivery without marketplace commission.
  5. Consolidate tablets with AIOrders' Order Hub, which handles Skip, Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub orders on one screen.

Keep more of every order with AIOrders

The AIOrders model is simple: a flat-monthly plan with 0% order fees (see pricing; the entry plan adds a per-order fee), instead of a percentage of each order (aiorders.io, as of Oct 2026). On that plan you keep every dollar of every direct order, minus payment processing.

Calculate your own numbers

Every restaurant's mix is different. Plug your monthly delivery-app sales into the free AIOrders savings calculator to see what commissions cost you and what a flat fee would save. Next step: plug your monthly delivery sales into the calculator and compare the result with a flat monthly fee (see pricing).
