Food delivery is broken.
CraveCo is what restaurants, drivers, and customers have been craving.
No markup on menu prices. No hidden fees. Drivers never lose money on a delivery. Your food, your restaurant, your driver — we just handle dispatch.
Join the waitlistThe receipt that started CraveCo.
On April 18, 2026, our founder paid $124 for an $83 DoorDash order. The food was $83. DoorDash’s fees and markups added $29. The tip was $12. That 50% overhead is not an outlier — it’s what delivery has become.
That receipt is the reason this company exists.
What a $40 order typically costs on DoorDash vs CraveCo.
Based on DoorDash’s published fee structure. Averages, nothing exaggerated. Your actual DoorDash receipt may be higher or lower — usually higher.

CraveCo
Where every dollar goes
Most companies hide their margin. We print it.
Sources: DoorDash help center, consumer advocacy reporting, published fee schedules. Fees vary by city, restaurant, and order. DashPass subscription reduces but does not eliminate fees. CraveCo does not offer — or require — a subscription to avoid hidden fees. We just don’t have them.
Your real DoorDash receipt may be worse.
These numbers are averages. DoorDash varies fees by city, restaurant, and even time of day. Seattle-area orders often include a $4.99 municipal fee. High-demand periods add surge pricing. Our founder paid $124 on an $83 DoorDash order the night he started CraveCo — nearly 50% overhead. The averages above are generous to DoorDash.
We barely touch the money.
Customers pay the restaurant directly through the restaurant’s own system. CraveCo takes exactly one dollar per order — printed plainly on every receipt — and dispatches the driver. Every other dollar flows between customer, restaurant, and driver.
Customer orders from the restaurant
Through the restaurant’s own site or ordering page. Menu prices are the same as at the counter. Payment goes directly to the restaurant.
CraveCo dispatches a trusted driver
Not a random gig worker. A driver the restaurant has approved, who knows the food, knows the route, and shows up looking respectable because they’re being respected.
Everyone keeps what’s theirs
Restaurant keeps its revenue and its customer. Driver keeps 100% of the tip. Customer pays the real price. Nobody gets squeezed.
Who are you?
CraveCo works a little differently depending on which side of the transaction you’re on. Pick the one that fits.
I own a restaurant

For restaurant owners →I drive for a living
See how CraveCo pays drivers fairly, respects their time, and never deactivates by algorithm.
For drivers →I order food
See why your food costs less, arrives with a person you know, and why we only list restaurants we vouch for.
For customers →This is how delivery worked for forty years.
Every Saturday night at eight, Kenny shows up at the door. He’s the same driver who’s been delivering from the Italian place for six months. He knows the order before it comes in. The restaurant knows his name. The customer trusts him. The tip is better because of it.
Kenny isn’t a gig worker farmed out by an algorithm. He’s a driver who built a relationship. CraveCo is the infrastructure that lets any restaurant have their own “Kenny.”
Twelve commitments we can’t break.
These are non-negotiable. If we have to break one to make the numbers work, the numbers are wrong — not the principles.
No hidden fees.
Every charge is labeled for what it is. If we can’t explain it in one sentence, it doesn’t exist.
No menu markups.
The price on CraveCo is the price at the counter. Always. Your brand, your pricing.
Restaurants own their customers.
Customer data, payment, and the relationship belong to the restaurant — not us.
Drivers see everything before accepting.
Address, total, tip, mileage, estimated earnings. No surprises after the tap.
Drivers can’t lose money.
Guaranteed minimum per delivery. If the math doesn’t work, we top it up.
No pay-to-prioritize.
Your order isn’t more important because you paid extra. Dispatch is proximity, timing, nothing else.
Restaurants handle food issues.
We dispatch drivers. That’s our job. Food questions go to the people who made it.
We stay small on purpose.
Fewer people between a restaurant and its customer is better. Headcount is a cost, not a goal.
Every price is explained in plain language.
If you ask why a fee exists, we have an answer that doesn’t embarrass us.
We take exactly one dollar per order.
In big letters, always. Every other dollar — food, tip, processing — flows directly between customer, restaurant, and driver. We sit beside the transaction, never in it.
Your time is not a conversion metric.
Real delivery times shown before you build your cart, with an honest buffer. Warnings when volume or traffic will affect your experience. We respect your time before you spend it.
We only hire people who respect your time.
You can have faith in us because we have faith in them. No driver on our platform was hired by an algorithm. Every driver was interviewed, trial-tested, and vouched for.
What CraveCo will never do.
Who built this.
My name is Devon Farina. I’ve spent almost 30 years in the restaurant industry — started as a salad guy, worked every station in the house, and made it to GM. I know what it feels like to watch a platform take 30% of an order you prepped, cooked, plated, and boxed yourself.
I built CraveCo because I ordered dinner on DoorDash one night and my $40 meal cost $88 after fees and tip. The driver got $4 base pay for a 12-mile round trip. The restaurant got about $28. The rest went to a company that didn’t cook anything, didn’t deliver anything, and doesn’t know anyone’s name.
I know there’s a better way because I watched it work for decades before the apps showed up.
