Transparent pricing for restaurants in Canada

Platesready charges a 5% platform fee on completed orders, plus GST/HST on that fee at your province's rate, and standard Stripe payment processing (2.9% + 30¢). There is no monthly software subscription, no setup fee, and no per-feature add-on charges.

For qualified businesses switching from another platform, Platesready offers a reduced 3% platform fee for the first year. After year one, the standard 5% rate applies. Standard Stripe processing remains separate.

Yes. Table booking with reminders and booking rules is included for all restaurant partners at no extra charge. If you turn on optional paid deposits, the 5% platform fee and Stripe processing apply to each deposit.

Stripe processes all payments at its standard rate (currently 2.9% + 30¢ per payment with a Canadian card; cards issued outside Canada can cost more). Stripe fees are deducted from your payout and are separate from the Platesready platform fee.

No. There is no monthly software subscription and no minimum order volume requirement. You pay the platform fee only on completed orders.

For delivery orders from your own customers, usually yes. Delivery apps commonly charge 20–30% commission on orders their couriers deliver (Uber Eats and DoorDash Canadian plans, September 2026). Platesready charges a flat 5% platform fee plus Stripe processing (2.9% + 30¢). On $10,000 of monthly orders with a $30 average order, that is about $890 in fees with Platesready versus $2,000–$3,000 at a 20–30% commission, before sales tax on the fees. For pickup orders the cost is about the same: the same apps charge 8% to 10% on pickup when your app prices match your in-store prices. SkipTheDishes does not publish its rates.

Yes. Every Platesready partner gets a branded, hosted online ordering and reservations page built for them — no setup fee, no monthly software fee, and no developers needed. You pay the 5% platform fee on completed orders (plus GST/HST on that fee at your province's rate) and standard Stripe processing.

No. Platesready charges a flat 5% platform fee on completed orders, plus GST/HST on that fee at your province's rate, and standard Stripe payment processing. There is no monthly subscription, no setup fee, and no per-feature charge. Compare that with the 20–30% commission delivery apps commonly charge on orders their couriers deliver.

Your restaurant keeps the customer relationship. For every order placed with you, you get the customer's name, contact details, and order history — they are not locked inside a marketplace — so you can reach your regulars directly with your own offers. Marketing messages need the customer's consent under Canada's anti-spam law. Platesready may also send customers its own messages about the platform, with their consent.
