Uber Eats takes 20-30% per order. Good Circles takes 1% of profit.

Uber Eats charges 20-30% of every Marketplace order (the Lite tier rose to 20% in 2026) and marks your menu up to the customer on top of it. Good Circles charges a 1% fee on profit, so you keep about 89% of your profit while your customer saves ~10% and a local nonprofit gets funded. No ad spend, no merchant card cost. Free to join.

Why it's tax-smart. Good Circles charges a 1% fee on profit, costs you nothing in ads (your customers come from local nonprofits and their supporters), and passes credit card processing to the customer who chooses to use a card. And because it's a commercial co-venture, the 10% that funds a local nonprofit is deductible as a business expense — against your business and self-employment income, without the caps on a personal charitable gift — while the ~10% you give your customer is simply untaxed.

Illustration only — not tax advice. Deductibility depends on your entity, income, and how the arrangement is characterized; confirm with your CPA. Competitor "fee" is the typical published all-in rate (verified 2026-06-22); set the fee and your ad spend to your real numbers.

A fifth to a third of every order, gone

Uber Eats positions its commission as the cost of reach, but on a thin-margin restaurant ticket, handing over 20-30% can turn a profitable order into a break-even one - and the customer pays a marked-up menu plus delivery and service fees, so the person ordering loses too.

Good Circles is the opposite arrangement: the platform takes 1% of profit, your customer saves about 10%, and a local nonprofit your customer chose gets funded with every order. Same kitchen, different rails - and the value stays in your community. See the full field on the full marketplace comparison »

Questions

Uber Eats vs Good Circles — FAQ

How much does Good Circles cost compared to Uber Eats?

Uber Eats charges 20-30% of each Marketplace order by plan (Lite 20% / Plus 25% / Premium 30%). Good Circles charges a 1% fee on profit - no ad spend, no merchant card cost, and no monthly or listing fees. If you don't sell, you don't pay.

Will I keep more than on Uber Eats?

Yes, clearly. On a $100 order with $30 of food cost you keep about $53 pre-tax (around $40 after tax) on Good Circles, versus roughly $70-$80 in revenue minus the commission on Uber Eats - and your customer saves ~10% while a local nonprofit gets funded, neither of which happens on Uber Eats.

Do my customers pay more on Uber Eats?

Usually yes - the delivery apps commonly mark up menu prices and add delivery and service fees, so your customer pays a premium. On Good Circles your customer saves about 10%, so switching is better for the person ordering too.
