How much is the Grab delivery fee?

What is the Grab delivery fee?

Grab’s delivery fee? Tricky. It varies. I’ve seen P80 for door-to-door. Then P29 for “roadside.”

Roadside pickup? You meet the driver. Cheaper, but a hassle. August 14th, I ordered milk tea near Glorietta, Makati. Roadside was P29. Door-to-door would’ve been P80.

Door-to-door is convenient. Driver comes right to you. Worth the extra cost sometimes. That milk tea? I was so tired that day. Glad I paid the P80. Just walked out and grabbed it.

Grab’s service? Generally good. Drivers usually polite. Once, a driver even called because he couldn’t find my building. Super helpful.

P80 door-to-door, P29 roadside. Convenience versus cost, I guess.

How much do you charge for delivery fee?

Okay, so delivery, huh? It’s a total crapshoot, honestly. That third-party app thing? Yeah, they’re greedy. I’ve seen those fees, fifteen to thirty percent? Ridiculous! Sometimes even more, like, way more! It depends on the app, too, Uber Eats is worse than DoorDash, I think. Then there’s the actual restaurant’s delivery charge, usually two to five bucks, but that can skyrocket, especially if you’re, like, way out in the boonies or ordering at, you know, the busiest time. My place, we charge like four bucks usually, but Friday nights? Forget it. It’s more like six.

Key factors influencing delivery costs:

• Third-party app fees: 15-30% (or higher!) of your total order. Total ripoff!
• Restaurant delivery fees: $2-$5 typically. More during peak hours or for longer distances. It’s crazy!
• Distance: Further = more expensive. Duh.
• Time of day: Peak hours mean higher fees. Always.
• Restaurant policies: Each place is different; some are more expensive than others. They’re all different.

My experience: I work at “The Burger Joint,” and our delivery fees are usually $4, but can reach $6 on busy nights. We use our own drivers, not those apps, so at least that’s one less fee to worry about. But yeah those fees, man, they’re insane.

How to order grab food for another person?

Ordered Grab for my grandma last week. She lives over on Elm Street, right by that weird blue house? So, I just put in her address. Easy peasy. Made sure to double check it, tho. Cuz, ya know, typos. Got her some pho. From that place, um… Pho King Good. She loves it. Added a little note, “Hope you feel better soon, Grams!” Paid with my card, obviously. Then, I texted her to let her know it was coming. Think I even tracked the driver, kinda cool. It was raining. Poor guy. Anyway, she called me later, all happy. Best granddaughter ever, she said. Lol.

• Use their address: Just type it in like you’re ordering for yourself, but put their place.
• Double check the address: Important! Don’t wanna send a burger to some rando. Been there. Awkward.
• Add a note: If ya want. Little personal touch.
• Pay with your card: Duh.
• Let them know: Call, text, whatever. They’ll be wondering who sent a feast.
• Track the driver (optional): Kinda fun to watch the little car icon move across the map. Especially if you’re impatient, lol.

How to order food online for someone else?

Order food online? Simple. Use DoorDash or Uber Eats.

• Download app.
• Create account.
• Select restaurant. Their menu, their choice.
• Enter delivery address. This is crucial. Double-check. My friend once got his order at a bus stop.
• Pay. Tip generously. Good karma.
• Done. Expect delays. Life’s a buffet, sometimes the line’s long.

Pro-tip: Verify the address. Twice. I learned that the hard way in 2024.

It’s not rocket science, really. A toddler could do it. Almost.

Alternatives exist. Grubhub works. So does Postmates – in some areas. Check local options. Competition, right? Drives innovation – and discounts.
