Frequently asked questions about starting a delivery service
The questions founders ask Google and AI assistants
- Is starting your own delivery service worth it in 2026?: Yes — according to Statista, the market is growing from €6.1B (2023) to €9.9B by 2028. Those who build their own system early stop paying commission. With a digital ordering system for gastronomy you start from €79/month — instead of up to 30% on every order.
- How much does it cost to start a delivery service?: That depends on how you want to start. Business registration costs €20–60. For a ghost kitchen (kitchen without dining room), startup costs from €2,000–5,000 are realistic. The ordering system — online shop and your own ordering app — costs from €79/month. You save the most money in ongoing operations: no fees of 13–30% on every order. Find all costs in the complete pricing overview.
- Do I need a restaurant to start a delivery service?: No. You can start as a ghost kitchen — a kitchen without a dining room, only for deliveries. This saves a lot of rent and makes starting cheaper. You only need a business registration and must comply with food hygiene regulations. If you have an existing restaurant, find suitable solutions on the restaurant page.
- How much commission does Lieferando charge?: Lieferando charges 13% commission if you have your own drivers. With Lieferando drivers, it goes up to 30% per order. Wolt and Uber Eats charge similarly at 15–30%. Source: Berliner Abendblatt. With your own delivery service without commission you pay a fixed monthly fee instead — no deductions on every order.
- What permits do I need for a delivery service?: You need: (1) Business registration at the trade office (€20–60), (2) Hygiene training (HACCP) — available online, approx. €20–50, (3) Health certificate for everyone who works with food (approx. €30). You don't need a restaurant license if you only deliver. Our team advises you for free — just contact us via the contact form.
