Multi-Channel Delivery Pricing Equations

The mathematical formulas required to safeguard kitchen margins against third-party delivery marketplace commissions.

1. Delivery Price for Target Food Cost %

Delivery Price = Recipe Cost / (Target Food Rate * (1 - Commission Rate)). Ensures your dish matches your kitchen's benchmark food cost percentage after commission deduction.

DeliveryPrice = RecipeCost / (TargetRate * (1 - CommRate))

2. Delivery Price to Match Dine-in Net Profit

Delivery Price = (Delivery Total Cost + Dine-In Profit) / (1 - Commission Rate). Guarantees that every delivery order delivers the exact same net profit dollars to your bottom line as a dine-in guest.

DeliveryPrice = (TotalCost + DineInProfit) / (1 - CommRate)

3. Realized Net Payout & Net Profit

Net Payout = Delivery Price * (1 - Commission Rate). Net Profit = Net Payout - (Recipe Cost + Packaging BOM + Allocated Overhead).

NetProfit = Payout - (Recipe + Packaging + Overhead)
