The honest recommendation: use both
For most Pakistani restaurants the right answer isn't "leave Foodpanda" — it's "use both". Foodpanda brings hungry shoppers actively browsing the app; your own WoBooks site keeps 100% of every repeat order at zero commission. The smart move is to use Foodpanda for new-customer discovery, then nudge repeat customers to your direct site with a printed QR insert in every delivery, a WhatsApp thank-you with your URL, or a "direct only" weekend special. Most restaurants shift 30–60% of repeat orders to direct within 6–12 months — that's where the realistic savings number comes from.

What does this calculator do?
This is an educational tool. You enter your own monthly delivery revenue on Foodpanda and your own commission rate (typical industry range is 25–30% for Pakistani restaurants, but it varies by city, restaurant tier, and contract terms). The calculator estimates how much you pay in commission per year and compares that to the flat monthly cost of running a direct-order restaurant website on WoBooks. All numbers are estimates — verify your specific Foodpanda contract terms in your Vendor Portal.
Are the commission rates in the default accurate?
The default 25% in this calculator reflects the typical range reported by Pakistani restaurant owners as of 2026. Actual Foodpanda commission rates vary significantly by city, restaurant tier, Pandago-Plus status, and individual contract terms. The calculator lets you input your specific rate. For your exact terms, check your Foodpanda Vendor Portal or speak to your Foodpanda account manager.
Should I leave Foodpanda based on this number?
Most successful Pakistani restaurants run both — Foodpanda for new-customer discovery, and their own WoBooks site for repeat customers at 0% commission. The strategy is usually to use Foodpanda for acquisition and gradually convert repeat customers to your direct site with QR inserts, WhatsApp follow-ups, and direct-only specials. Leaving Foodpanda entirely is a separate decision that depends on your category, brand strength, and marketing capacity. Read the full WoBooks vs Foodpanda comparison for the trade-offs.
Is the WoBooks subscription the only cost on the WoBooks side?
The WoBooks subscription ($10/month Commerce Growth, $20 Pro, $40 Scale) covers your website, accounting, POS, ecommerce engine, AI Companion, and AI Brain. Standard payment-gateway fees from JazzCash, Easypaisa, or Safepay (typically 1–2.5% depending on method) still apply. You also pay for your own delivery — in-house riders, TCS, Leopards, BlueEx, or another courier. The calculator counts only the WoBooks subscription; gateway fees are a small fraction of Foodpanda's commission and your delivery cost would exist on either platform.
What WoBooks plan would I need to run direct orders?
Commerce Growth ($10/month, PKR 2,780) handles most small-to-mid restaurants up to ~100 orders per month and includes the website, menu, online ordering, JazzCash + Easypaisa + COD, and WhatsApp order alerts. Commerce Pro ($20) and Scale ($40) lift the order limits and add multi-location features. See the full plan comparison at /pricing. Free 7-day trial on all paid plans.
Does WoBooks help me get customers, or just save commission?
Both. The savings is the obvious half. The growth half is two-sided AI: Companion drafts your menu and posts your social content; Brain replies to your customers on WhatsApp 24/7 — knows your menu, quotes delivery, takes orders, and books reservations. You can talk to Companion right now on WhatsApp at +1 555 910-8090 to see how it would work for your specific restaurant.
How accurate are the savings projections?
The 100% direct-orders number is a theoretical maximum — almost no restaurant actually moves every order off Foodpanda. The 50% direct-orders projection reflects what most Pakistani restaurants achieve within 6–12 months of running both channels with active customer conversion (QR inserts, WhatsApp campaigns, direct-only specials). Your specific result depends on your category, brand, marketing effort, and customer base. The calculator is a planning tool, not a guarantee.
