DoorDash puts your restaurant in front of customers actively searching for delivery, and it runs the courier network so you do not have to. That reach is worth paying for when you are winning new customers. Windsor Digital is for the orders you already own: regulars, pickup, and dine-in, where handing 30% to a marketplace makes no sense. Most restaurants run both.
DoorDash also sells Online Ordering, a commission-free ordering link for your own website. On fees alone it is cheaper than us, and it can send a driver, which we cannot. If you are already on DoorDash Marketplace and mainly want a pickup and delivery button for your website, it is a sensible option. Windsor Digital is built for a different job: the orders that happen inside your venue and at your counter.
| DoorDash Online Ordering | Windsor Digital | |

| Cost per order | 1.75% + 30c processing | 2% + Stripe processing |
| Delivery | $5.50 per delivered order | Not offered |
| Table ordering by QR code | Not mentioned | Yes |
| Orders print in the kitchen | Tablet or POS | Epson and Star printers |
| Needs a marketplace account | Yes | No |

Questions
DoorDash lists 30% commission on marketplace delivery, 15% on pickup and 15% on self-delivery. Promoted placement and payment fees add to the base rate. Check your own merchant agreement.
Yes. DoorDash Online Ordering adds a commission-free ordering link to your own website. DoorDash lists 1.75% plus 30c card processing per order and a $5.50 fee on delivered orders, with no monthly fee, and it needs an existing DoorDash Marketplace account. On fees alone it is cheaper than Windsor Digital, which charges 2% on top of Stripe processing, and it can send a driver, which we cannot. Windsor Digital is built for a different job: QR code ordering at the table, orders that print in your kitchen, and an ordering page that does not depend on a delivery marketplace.
Yes. Many restaurants keep DoorDash for delivery reach and use Windsor Digital for direct pickup and dine-in orders. You keep far more margin on the orders where you control the channel.
No. Windsor Digital covers pickup and dine-in ordering and does not supply drivers. If you need delivery, DoorDash, UberEats or your own driver still handles that part.
Nothing to start. We charge 2% per transaction when customers place orders. Standard Stripe payment processing fees apply separately. No monthly fee, no setup fee, no contract.
Your own ordering page, live in 10 minutes. No credit card required.
