Delivery-led restaurants
The same dish, at the same cost, with a completely different margin — depending on the channel it sold through.
What this business looks like
A large share of sales through delivery apps, at commissions that differ between platforms and are charged on revenue rather than profit.
Where the money actually goes
Channel blindness
The sales report says you sold ₪1,000. It does not say ₪600 of it came through a 25% commission, so what you actually received is far less than it appears.
Packaging
A real cost charged only on delivery orders, and one that rarely makes it into the cost of the dish.
Reconciliation
What the platform says it transferred and what actually arrived are not always the same figure, and checking it by hand is a full monthly job.
The numbers you should be seeing
Margin per channel
The number that matters most here. An item that earns in the dining room can lose on the app.
Commission as a share of total sales
Shows the true size of what you pay the platforms.
Packaging cost per delivery order
Persistently forgotten, and only visible at month end.
Reconciliation gap
The difference between what was owed and what landed — real money.

What Noqta does here
- Calculates margin per channel, so you see which item loses on the app and earns in the room.
- Puts commission and packaging inside the cost of the order rather than outside it.
- Pulls delivery platform data into one reconciled report instead of a dashboard per app.
- Surfaces the reconciliation gap instead of you checking it by hand each month.
