What you get
Only 10% commission
Yaku’s commission is 10% of the food subtotal, and you keep the other 90%. Delivery fees and sales tax never come out of your payout.
No drivers to hire or manage
Every Yaku driver is an hourly employee from your neighborhood. They’re paid whether or not orders are moving, so nobody is juggling three apps with your food in the back seat.
People you know, not a tech giant
Yaku is a local team. When an order goes sideways you talk to the people who run delivery in your neighborhood, and you know the drivers who pick up at your counter. No far-off company in between.
Sales tax is off your plate
Yaku collects and remits Washington sales tax on Yaku orders as the marketplace facilitator, so those orders stay out of your filings.
Run out? 86 it in one tap
The Yaku Kitchen tablet shows each order with its ready-by time. Turn off an item, or a single option like pepperoni, the moment you run out.
Customers see what you earn
Every Yaku receipt shows how the order splits between the restaurant, the driver and Yaku. Your regulars can see they’re supporting you.

Questions owners ask
What does it cost?
A 10% commission on the food subtotal of each Yaku order. Nothing is taken from delivery fees or sales tax.
Who sets my menu prices?
You do. Use your in-store prices from Toast or Square, or set Yaku-only prices in your dashboard.
Do I have to accept each order?
No. Orders come in with a ready-by time and a driver arrives for it. If you’re slammed or out of something, change prep time or 86 it from the tablet.
How do I get paid?
Through Stripe, straight to your bank. Every order and refund is itemized in your Yaku dashboard.
