How much are restaurants actually losing to commissions? We ran the numbers for restaurants doing $10K, $30K, and $80K/month in online orders.
The reason GloriaFood became popular was simple: 0% commission. Every dollar a customer spent went to the restaurant, not the platform.
Now that GloriaFood is shutting down, restaurants face a choice: move to a flat-fee platform (like Boom) or accept commissions.
Here's what that actually costs.
Most commission-based platforms charge 15–30% on each order. Let's look at what that means for restaurants at different revenue levels.
Savings with Boom vs. 15% commission: $1,050/month ($12,600/year)
Savings with Boom vs. 15% commission: $3,850/month ($46,200/year)
Savings with Boom vs. 15% commission: $11,150/month ($133,800/year)
Boom's flat fee makes sense at any revenue level above roughly $3,000/month in online orders vs. a 15% commission platform. Below that, commission-based platforms may be cheaper.
But most restaurants using GloriaFood are doing far more than $3,000/month online — which is exactly why Boom is the financially obvious migration path.
Some platforms advertise "free" software but charge per-order fees, processing fees, or subscription fees for basic features. Always calculate total cost of ownership, not just the advertised price.
The only true zero-commission path is a flat-fee platform. That's Boom.
