Pay Model Effective 7-13-2026
We know that food vendors, deliverers, and customers have a lot of choices, which is why we’ve created a pay model that is designed to make fees and earnings fair transparent. Below is more detailed information about how earnings work.
| POSITION | EARNS | PLUS |
| Vendor | 85% Food prices they set (base order) | |
| Deliverer | 85% Delivery fee they set on base order | 100% Tips |
| Site Developer | 85% of each Vendor Site Package sold | |
| Business Developer | $1.00 Per base order over $30.00 |
Delivery Fee
The Delivery Fee is set by each Deliverer and charged to the customer. Therefore delivery fees vary and are subject to change. It may be a flat rate or percentage of the subtotal of the food order amount.
Competitive Delivery Fees
Go4Food Deliverers are encouraged to consider the estimated time, distance, desirability, and other deliverers delivery fees when selecting their delivery fee. Deliveries that require deliverers to travel a longer distance, that are expected to take more time, and that are less popular with deliverers may justify a higher base pay.
Tips
When using Go4Food, customers can generally choose to leave a tip when they check out or after the delivery is completed. 100% of tips received by Go4Food will go to the deliverer on top of the Net Base Pay.
If a customer adds a post-checkout tip on any previous order, the deliverer will receive a notification that they’ve received an additional tip and can find an updated earnings breakdown for that delivery in their deliverer app’s earnings tab.
In some cases, customers place orders through merchants directly and are not given the option to provide a tip on an order. This does not mean the customer chose not to leave a tip – it means they were not given the opportunity to leave a tip when they placed their order.
Acceptance Screen
The offer amount Deliverers see on the acceptance screen may be the Gross Base Pay amount during our current beta testing. A future upgrade will show the Net Base Pay that they will earn for each delivery. Total earnings upon the completion of the delivery will be based on the Net Base Pay plus Tip. Deliverers will see that reflected immediately in their earnings for that delivery upon completion.
When do we get paid?
A variety of payout options are available. How and when deliverers get paid depends on their chosen payout method and certain eligibility requirements. Connecting your Go4Food Deliverer account with your Stripe account is the recommended method. Read more about each option below.
- Weekly Direct Deposit
Through Direct Deposit, deliverers get paid on a weekly basis for all deliveries completed between Monday – Sunday of the previous week (ending Sunday at midnight). Payments are transferred at that time directly to a bank account with a 2-3 day processing period and usually appear by Wednesday night. When a Federal holiday falls on Monday, you may see a one day delay from when you normally receive your pay.
- Cash on Delivery
Go4Foodies may also have the opportunity to receive Cash on Delivery orders where they will collect cash payment from the customer. 15% of the the cash amount received, excluding tip, will be deducted from the deliverer’s next payout.
