Delivery Fee Recovery — How It Works

How Does the Delivery Fees Recovery Work?

Most restaurant owners know they're overpaying delivery platforms — but don't know there's an alternative that delivers the same customer experience at a fraction of the cost. Here's the three-step process APX uses to recover those fees for you.

Step 1 — The Problem

You're Paying DoorDash, Uber Eats & Grubhub 20–30% Per Order

Every delivery order processed through a third-party platform costs you 20–30% in commission — before labor, food cost, or rent. On $40K/month in revenue, that's up to $12,000 a year gone before you see a dollar of profit.

Step 2 — The Solution

APX Connects You With a National Direct Ordering Partner

APX introduces you to our vetted national marketing partner — a direct ordering platform that moves your delivery customers off DoorDash and onto your own private channel. Same reliable service for your customers. Commission drops from 20–30% down to a fraction of that.

Step 3 — The Recovery

You Keep More of What You Earn.

APX was built around one idea — help small businesses in Los Angeles grow stronger and become more resilient. We help restaurant owners recover real money from delivery fees and keep more of what they earn. Our clients typically recover $20K–$60K a year.

The Real Problem

DoorDash and Uber Eats Are Taking 20–30% of Every Order. That's Your Profit — Gone.

A Los Angeles restaurant doing $262K in delivery orders loses $60,500 a year in platform fees alone — before payroll, food costs, or rent. Most owners have no idea the number is that high. And without clean books and real financial visibility, there's no way to fight back. You can't cut what you can't see.

Delivery platforms charging 20–30% per order — before you see the money

No clear picture of which days, shifts, or menu items are actually profitable

Cash flow surprises — payroll, rent, and food costs hitting at the same time

CDTFA sales tax and tip reporting compliance risks

No loan-ready financials when you need to expand or buy equipment
