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; on your own WoBooks site a regular's repeat order skips Foodpanda's cut. 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. How many regulars switch depends on your food and your offer — your own order history shows it week by week. The 50% scenario above is a planning number, not a forecast.

Questions about the calculator

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 shows it next to the 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, where a regular's order doesn't carry an aggregator 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 is priced in US dollars: Starter ($15/month) covers your website, online ordering, accounting, AI Companion and AI Brain; Growth ($35/month) adds the in-restaurant POS; Scale is $75/month. Check /pricing for any per-order fee on your plan. 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 shows the subscription next to the commission rather than netting the two, since one is in rupees and the other in dollars.

What WoBooks plan would I need to run direct orders?

Starter ($15/month) handles up to 500 orders a month and includes the website, menu, online ordering, JazzCash + Easypaisa + COD, and an email alert on every new order. Growth ($35/month) raises that to 5,000 orders and adds the in-restaurant POS; Scale ($75/month) has no order cap. Every restaurant starts with a free 7-day trial. See the full plan comparison at /pricing.

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, the chat on your website, answers customers from your menu around the clock and places the order once the customer confirms. 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 figure is a planning scenario, not a forecast — how many regulars switch depends on your food and your offer (QR inserts, a WhatsApp thank-you with your link, direct-only specials), and your own order history shows it week by week. The calculator is a planning tool, not a guarantee.
