DoorDash vs Uber Eats vs Grubhub: key differences
Commission rates vary by plan and market across all three platforms (15–30%). Each platform has a different customer mix. DoorDash has the largest US market share. Uber Eats skews younger urban demographics. Grubhub dominates New York City.
Most multi-location groups list on all three, then decide where to put promo and ad dollars. Spice runs day-to-day storefront ops across DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub so operators are not guessing which platform to feed next.
