What is the Chowdeck Service Fee?
The service fee is a consumer fee that appears on the price breakdown at checkout on the Chowdeck app. Unlike other consumer fees, the service fee depends on your order's subtotal, that is, a percentage of your bill excluding the delivery fee. We understand the service fee increases as the order amount increases, so we've capped it to prevent it from getting too excessive. It also does not apply to all restaurants on our platform.
Why do we charge this?
Having food delivered to you anytime, anywhere is so convenient, but it can be extremely costly to operate a delivery service. At Chowdeck, we pride ourselves in ensuring we deliver bowls of happiness to your doorstep with every delivery we make. We need to cover technology costs, transaction processing fees, and support to do this effectively. The various fees on our checkout ensure we stay ahead of these costs and continue serving you, our deserving customer.
We sincerely appreciate your patronage and look forward to surpassing delivery standards as we establish ourselves as a household name for meal delivery across Africa.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have further questions regarding our fees.
Have a Chowdeck day!
