Comparison

Your own shop, or a marketplace?

A delivery platform brings you orders and takes a percentage of each one; the customers stay theirs. An own-brand shop like Delova costs you a flat subscription and takes nothing from your orders; the customers and their details stay yours. These aren't two competing products — they're two business models.

The rates quoted come from the pricing Uber Eats publishes for France, checked in August 2026. Deliveroo and Just Eat negotiate theirs by contract and publish none: we therefore attribute none to them. Pricing published by Uber Eats

How much are commissions costing you?

Rough estimate, based on the rates Uber Eats publishes for France: a 30% service fee on the Standard plan, 33% on Premium, plus €1.99 per week (checked August 2026). Deliveroo and Just Eat do not publish theirs. See Uber Eats pricing

The questions this raises

Do I have to leave the platforms to use Delova?

No, and it's rarely a good idea. Platforms bring you customers who didn't know you; your own shop lets you keep the ones who already do. Most restaurants using Delova keep at least one platform running and move their regulars across gradually.

How many orders before the subscription costs less?

It depends on your average order value. On a €30 basket with a 30% commission, each order costs €9 to the platform: the subscription is covered from 15 orders a month. The calculator on the home page does the maths with your own figures.

Who delivers my orders if I have no driver?

Delova does not supply couriers. If you have nobody to deliver, collection works from day one and you keep a platform for delivery. If you have one or two drivers, the Delova Go app is included in the subscription: they receive the runs, follow the GPS and notify the customer.

What happens to my customers if I stop using Delova?

They stay yours. You get your data as an export, and your contacts have been yours from day one — that is precisely what separates a shop under your own name from a listing on a marketplace. Your app is removed from the stores, though: your customers will need another channel.

Will my customers actually find my app?

On the stores, yes: it carries your restaurant's name. But an app isn't found on its own — it's your online shop, shared by text message, on your social accounts and on your printed material, that drives the first downloads. A platform, by contrast, brings traffic it already has.
