Pyszne.pl takes 30%. And you?
Delivery platforms are convenient. But this convenience comes at a price - and a high one at that.
How much does Pyszne.pl really cost?
Let's assume: pizzeria, order for PLN 60.
| Cost | Amount |
|---|---|
| Pyszne.pl commission (~30%) | -18 PLN |
| Packaging and cutlery | -4 PLN |
| Cost of raw materials (~30%) | -18 PLN |
| You are left | PLN 20 |
That's 33% of the original amount. Before paying rent, electricity and staff.
The problem is bigger than the commission
1. The customer is not yours
Pyszne.pl has customer data. You have... an order. You won't build a relationship.
2. No control over price
Will you raise the price? You'll be out of the algorithm. Will you lower it? You lose your margin.
3. Addiction
The more you sell through the platform, the harder it is to quit.
Alternative 1: Focus on guests ON SITE
On-site service:
- 0% commission - every PLN stays with you
- Higher average bill - guests order desserts and wine
- Relationship - you create regulars
- Control - you set the prices, menu, experience yourself
OrderNow helps you do just that - it maximizes the profit from guests who come to you.
Alternative 2: Own online orders via OrderNow
Why would you piece together several systems from different companies when OrderNow has a built-in In-House Delivery module?
- You manage your own couriers – the system assigns drivers on a map to ensure the food arrives hot.
- You own your online sales channel – accept delivery orders straight from your website.
- You pay 0% order commission – whether your Friday night sales hit 200 PLN or 5,000 PLN, the module subscription cost remains entirely flat.
Cost: A small monthly flat rate, securing the 30% profit leak to corporate platforms with every delivery.
Model comparison
| Model | Commission | Control | Customer details |
|---|---|---|---|

Hybrid strategy
You don't have to give up platforms completely. But you can:
- Limit dependency - platforms as an acquisition channel, not the main source
- Redirect guests - leaflet in the bag: "Order directly = -10%"
- Build a database - collect e-mails, numbers, send offers
OrderNow + own sales = maximum profit from each guest.
