Comparison · Updated April 2026
GeraEats vs Uber Eats
GeraEats is a planned food-delivery marketplace (pre-launch in the United Kingdom, not taking orders today) with a planned 15% restaurant commission, transparent diner fees and AI-agent ordering at launch. Uber Eats is a global on-demand delivery platform operating in 45+ countries with a tiered commission model for restaurants and per-order fees for diners. This page is an honest, public-facts comparison for both sides of the order.

Five concrete differentiators
- Lower, flat planned commission. The planned 15% vs 15–30% would mean a restaurant on a £15k/month basket keeps up to £2,250 more at launch; GeraEats takes no orders today.
- No sponsored-listing auction. Discovery is based on rating and cuisine match, not paid placement.
- Transparent diner fees planned. One line at checkout at launch — no stacked service + small-order fees.
- AI-agent ordering at launch (planned). MCP + ai-plugin.json are the planned launch design so ChatGPT/Claude can search menus and place orders; no orders can be placed today.
- GeraCoins loyalty (planned). GeraCoins is a planned scheme and not a live currency — nothing is earned on any order today.
Where Uber Eats is still the default
GeraEats is in pre-launch and takes no orders today, so Uber Eats is the only ordering option in any market right now — including where you need the biggest restaurant catalogue or already pay for Uber One and use Uber + Uber Eats as a bundle. At launch, many restaurants are expected to run both — Uber Eats for reach, GeraEats for margin preservation.
FAQ
- How much commission does GeraEats charge restaurants vs Uber Eats?
- The planned GeraEats launch commission is 15% (10% for self-delivery). GeraEats is in pre-launch and charges no commission today because it takes no orders. Uber Eats commissions are typically in the 15–30% range depending on tier, with marketplace+delivery bundles often at the top of that band.
- What does a diner actually pay in fees?
- The planned GeraEats design is a single transparent service+delivery fee at checkout, typically £1.99–£3.99 per order — not charged today because GeraEats is in pre-launch and takes no orders. Uber Eats charges a delivery fee plus a service fee (percentage of basket) plus a small-order fee below a threshold — totals often 15–25% of subtotal.
- Where is GeraEats available compared with Uber Eats?
- GeraEats is in pre-launch in the United Kingdom only and is not taking orders today. Uber Eats operates in 45+ countries and thousands of cities, and is the only ordering option today.
- How fast is GeraEats delivery vs Uber Eats?
- Uber Eats targets 25–45 minutes door-to-door in core urban zones; actual time depends on kitchen prep, courier availability and distance. GeraEats delivers nothing today — its planned launch target is 25–45 minutes with a live ETA that updates every 30 seconds.
- Can a diner order from GeraEats via ChatGPT or Claude?
- That is the planned launch design: an MCP server + ai-plugin.json so AI assistants can search menus and place orders at launch. No orders can be placed through AI agents today. Uber Eats does not currently expose an equivalent consumer AI-agent ordering surface.
