Editorial method
Who makes this, how, and why
YoriPrep Editorial focuses each guide on one operating decision a food-service team can use on its next shift.
- Reference material only
- This article is general operating reference material.
- Case scope
- This reference scope is limited to the operating question and illustrative case described in “Delivery-app fees in Korea: calculate contribution per order”.
- Calculation limits
- The review formula is “revenue − food − channel/payment/packaging = contribution before labor and fixed cost”; it does not determine a store-specific result without current inputs and context.
- Date markers from linked sources
- 3 linked sources state no date. Undated sources are not treated as current; check each link for its present status.
- Professional decisions
- Tax, employment, food-safety, accounting, and legal decisions need current official guidance or advice from an appropriate qualified professional. This article has not received that professional review.
- Publisher
- YoriPrep Editorial at Uberion selects the topic and is responsible for the scope of sources and examples in each article.
- Method
- Public sources are linked directly, and unsourced figures, percentages, and situations are labelled as illustrative. AI may assist drafting or translation, but advertising is limited to source-checked, curated articles.
- Purpose
- We publish to help readers solve one cost, stock, prep, or team-operations problem, not to mass-produce pages for search traffic.
A 20,000 KRW order example leaves 3,717 KRW before labor and fixed cost; verify every line against the settlement.

Start with the complete order bridge
Revenue is 20,000 KRW before subtracting the listed costs. Contribution is not net profit because labor and fixed cost remain.

Contribution is not net profit because labor and fixed cost remain.
Put every fee on its own line
Merchant discount 1,000, commission 1,560, payment 570, delivery 3,400, VAT 553, ad 500, packaging 700, food 8,000.
The arithmetic closes at 3,717 KRW contribution before labor and fixed cost.
Compare the same order
Keep recipe cost and promotion burden consistent across channels.
Confirm the tax and settlement basis before comparing weeks.
Calculation note
Review and assign the next action
revenue − food − channel/payment/packaging = contribution before labor and fixed costSeparate channel, payment, promotion, VAT, packaging, and food costs so delivery contribution is not mistaken for net profit.
