Platform order: $6.85

A 30% marketplace fee on $18.00 removes $5.40. That leaves $6.85 per dish after the fee — assuming the app even shares the diner with you.

Keep the margin you calculated

Direct pickup orders through TableHub pay only Stripe's processing fee — no 30% commission, no per-cover charge, and the diner's name, email, and phone number land in your list.

Assumptions: 30% platform commission is the standard marketplace rate cited by DoorDash and Uber Eats merchant terms. Processing fees on direct orders are not included here; they typically run 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.
