All-in-one, no commissions
Typical limitations
You want to own your direct orders, keep customer data, and stop paying 15–30% commission on repeat customers who already know you.
You rely on DoorDash purely for new-customer discovery and accept the commission as a marketing cost for first-time orders.
The smart play: aggregate DoorDash orders into Fleksa for one workflow, and route loyal customers to your own commission-free storefront.

Yes. Fleksa gives you your own branded online ordering storefront with 0% commission on direct orders. You can keep DoorDash for new-customer discovery and move your repeat customers to your commission-free channel, where you also keep their data.
DoorDash marketplace commissions typically range from 15% to 30% per order depending on the partnership plan, plus card-processing and other fees. On a $30 order that can be $4.50–$9 gone before food cost. Direct orders through Fleksa carry 0% commission.
Yes — that is the recommended setup. Fleksa aggregates your DoorDash orders into the same POS and kitchen display so staff work one screen, while your own storefront captures commission-free repeat business.
No. You keep your DoorDash listing as long as you want. Fleksa is additive: it gives you a channel you own. Over time, loyalty offers and reorder reminders move price-insensitive regulars to your direct storefront without cutting off marketplace discovery.
DoorDash is a discovery channel, not a business model. Use it to find new diners, but every repeat order you take through DoorDash hands away up to 30% and the customer relationship. Fleksa lets you keep DoorDash for reach, aggregate its orders into one screen, and own your regulars on a commission-free storefront. For most restaurants the right answer is both — with Fleksa as the home base.
