In-house solution vs third-party platforms: the real cost of commissions

What a 20 to 30% commission on every order really costs you

A third-party platform commission seems abstract until you scale it up to a month of activity. On margins that are already thin, the impact hits profitability directly.

The calculation few restaurateurs make

On €1,000 of takeaway sales via a third-party platform charging 25%, that’s €250 that never comes back to the establishment, every month, on this channel alone. Over a year, the amount becomes significant.

"We had never stopped to calculate what that represented over a year."

An alternative: your own channels, at 0% commission

Xpos One offers a click & collect page under your own brand, with no commission, as well as a QR code at the table and an ordering kiosk, all connected to your unTill till. You keep the customer relationship and the margin.

An investment that pays for itself quickly

Unlike a commission that grows with your success, a subscription to an in-house solution stays stable, whatever your order volume. The more you sell, the more the gap widens in your favour.
