How much do the platforms take from you?
Restaurants, taxi and limo companies, hotels and salons often give 15 to 30% of every order to a platform. Enter your numbers and see what that adds up to in a year, and what you would keep by taking bookings in your own app.
After about 11,250 EUR a year in card fees. Even if only part of your orders move to your app, the difference usually pays for it quickly.

Why businesses move to their own app
Keep the margin
A card payment in your own app costs around 1.5 to 3%, not 15 to 30%.
Own the customer
Names, phone numbers and order history stay with you, so you can bring customers back without paying again.
Set your own rules
Your prices, your offers, your delivery area and your cancellation policy.
Keep the platforms too
Most businesses stay on the platforms for new customers and move regulars to their own app.
What your own booking app can include
- Online booking or ordering with card payment
- Live tracking for rides and deliveries
- An admin dashboard for orders, drivers and prices
- Offers and a loyalty program for regular customers
- Your brand in the App Store and Google Play
Questions
Are these the real commission rates?
Rates depend on the platform, your country and your contract, usually 15 to 30% and sometimes more with marketing extras. Enter the rate from your own invoice for an exact result.
Will customers really order in my app?
Regular customers do when it's quick and there's a reason, like a small discount or loyalty points. Even moving a third of your orders pays back fast.
What does my own app cost?
It depends on the features. Starting from a proven platform like LYXUP is much faster and cheaper than building from zero. Use the app cost calculator or ask for a fixed price.
Is anything I type stored?
No. The calculation runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
