Delivery commissions vs dine-in QR ordering

These are often discussed as if they compete. They do not. A delivery marketplace brings you guests you do not have and delivers food to them for a cut of each order. Dine-in QR ordering serves guests who are already sitting at your table. We cannot replace a marketplace, and a marketplace does not cover your dining room.

Where the confusion comes from

Owners tired of per-order commission often look for “a commission-free alternative”. That search can land on a dine-in ordering tool and create the wrong expectation, so let us be direct about it: SuchiQR does not deliver food, does not advertise your restaurant to new customers, and does not process payments. If your problem is the commission on delivery orders, a dine-in ordering tool does not solve it.

What SuchiQR does cover

  • The guests already in your restaurant, who order at the table with no platform commission.
  • Orders arriving at the kitchen tagged with the table number.
  • Sold-out items updating on the menu during service.
  • A live queue of dine-in orders your team works from.
  • Your own customer relationship — the order and the guest stay with you.

How restaurants usually run both

Keep the delivery channel for guests who cannot come in. Use dine-in ordering for the tables you already have. The two channels answer different questions, and the commission question only applies to the first one. If you want the numbers for your own delivery orders, work them out against your current statements rather than a generic calculator — your mix is what matters.

If your dining room is where you want to work on speed and accuracy, the demo shows the guest and kitchen flows end to end.

Clear Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers to help you choose the right tools for your dining room.

?Can SuchiQR replace a food delivery app?

No. SuchiQR has no delivery, no riders and no marketplace discovery, so it cannot bring you new delivery customers. It is for guests who are already seated in your restaurant and order at the table.

?Does SuchiQR charge commission on orders?

No. SuchiQR is a flat monthly subscription with 0% commission and no per-order fee on dine-in orders. Food is paid for offline at your counter or table, so there is no payment processing on orders either.

?Does SuchiQR earn commission from delivery platforms?

No. SuchiQR is not affiliated with, endorsed by or integrated with any delivery marketplace. It does not connect to delivery aggregators or route delivery orders.

?So how do the two fit together?

Most restaurants use both for different jobs. The delivery channel reaches guests who order to their homes or offices; SuchiQR handles the guests who are physically at your tables, where no aggregator commission applies.
