Fare Eats is a food delivery service that operates through a fair partnership with local restaurants/food vendors and drivers in each city. Charging only a 5% service fee (compared to 20-35% with other competitors), this enables businesses to offer lower menu prices to their customers through Fare Eats, who save up to 30% by ordering through us. Drivers also keep 90% of the delivery fee, own the service (through a driver co-op in each city) and earn more, than with competitors. Fare Eats supports local communities by allowing more money to stay with local businesses and delivery drivers, while consumers enjoy top service quality (where the drivers actually care).
