Delivery contribution review: a worked example
Follow a fictional order from revenue to contribution, then identify the decisions behind its margin.
Delivery contribution review: a worked example
Illustrative example, not client results. Amounts are SAR and exclude VAT.
Order revenue: 60.00
Food cost: 18.00
Platform commission: 15.00
Packaging: 3.00
Restaurant-funded discount: 6.00
Other variable fulfilment cost: 1.50
Order contribution: 16.50 (27.5% of revenue)
This contribution must still cover fixed costs; it is not net profit. Confirm the commission base and who funds promotions from your platform contract.
Decision: test bundles and channel pricing before adding discounts. Compare contribution per order and total contribution at the resulting order volume. Download the one-page worked example. Contact NORIVA to complete a review with your verified data.
