We partner with DoorDash to handle delivery, but unlike third-party platforms, Constant Cuisine shifts the service fees to the guest—allowing you to keep more of your revenue.
Online ordering transactions typically have three key parts: ordering & payment, fulfillment, and delivery.
Ordering & Payment: When a restaurant uses DoorDash’s platform, DoorDash controls both the payment process and the ordering system. They dictate what percentage to charge the restaurant and collect money from both the customer and the restaurant, delaying payouts by 7-30 days.
Fulfillment: This is where the restaurant makes the food. However, because DoorDash handles the merchant processing, they collect the money first, decide on their cut, and then send the restaurant its portion later.
Delivery: Constant Cuisine removes DoorDash from the payment process entirely, using the restaurant’s existing merchant services provider instead. This means:
The restaurant gets paid directly, without waiting weeks for payouts.
Constant Cuisine controls the transaction fees, not DoorDash.
The guest pays the delivery fee upfront ($7 per delivery), and DoorDash invoices the restaurant for deliveries at the end of the month, effectively making the restaurant a pass-through entity for delivery charges.
Most third-party platforms charge 20-30% per order. Constant Cuisine charges just 5% per order, significantly increasing your profit margins.
Nothing! The guest pays the delivery fee, not you.
Great question! DoorDash gets paid by your guest. When the guest is paying for their food, they're also paying the $7 DoorDash delivery fee. The next month, DoorDash will invoice the restaurant for the $7 fee times the number of deliveries made.
Yes! Your guests still get the convenience of DoorDash delivery, but the service fees are passed to them instead of you. You keep more of your revenue while still offering delivery.
Constant Cuisine never touches your money. Payments are processed through the payment provider you already use, and funds are deposited directly into your account—just like any other credit card transaction. Unlike third-party platforms that hold onto your money, you get paid per your merchant services agreement.
Bonus: Constant Cuisine has partnered with TransGate Solutions to offer preferred payment processing rates to our clients. If you're looking for a more cost-effective processor, we can connect you with TransGate for exclusive pricing-when paired with Constant Cuisine.
Setup typically takes 1-3 weeks, depending on how quickly you get your dedicated printer and provide the necessary details for your menu and online ordering system.
No! Constant Cuisine runs independently and does not require direct POS integration. You will need a dedicated printer, fax machine, text, or email for processing orders.
That’s great! Constant Cuisine can work alongside your current system, giving you a more cost-effective option without disrupting your current setup.
Our system includes optional built-in guest retention tools like loyalty points, discounts, and combo deals to help you increase repeat business and boost order value.
There isn’t one! You’re already paying third-party fees on every online order—Constant Cuisine simply lets you keep more of your money.
