Grubhub works. Ordering direct works better.
Same sandwiches. Same delivery. Fewer fees — and instead of sending money to a third-party app, your dollars stay in Killeen and support a family-run Puerto Rican shop on Veterans Memorial Blvd.
Grubhub is a third-party app. We're a Killeen kitchen.
Grubhub is a large third-party food ordering and delivery platform — the kind of company that signs contracts with restaurants across the country and takes a commission on every order that flows through its app. Combine that commission with the delivery fees, service fees, and possible menu markups you see as a customer, and the "cheap convenience" gets expensive fast.
None of this is a secret — it's simply how the big delivery apps make money. Our point isn't that Grubhub is evil. Our point is that when you already know us, routing your order through a third-party app is the worst deal on the table: worst for your wallet, worst for our small business, and worst for keeping money circulating in the Killeen economy.
Order Direct vs. Order on Grubhub
Same kitchen. Same sandwich. Very different economics.
What you're really paying for on Grubhub.
The menu price isn't the whole bill. Here's what gets added before checkout.
Menu markup
Restaurants often inflate third-party prices to offset commissions. The same sandwich is cheaper ordered direct — guaranteed.
Service fee
A percentage-based fee added to your subtotal. Goes to Grubhub, not the restaurant, not the driver.
Delivery fee
Separate fee based on distance, demand, and time. A portion goes to the driver; the rest stays with the platform.
Small-order fee
Order under the minimum? Another fee tacked on before you even see your total.
Restaurant commission
Behind the scenes, Grubhub charges us a commission on every order — often 15–30%. You don't see it on your receipt. It comes out of what we keep.
Your tip, on top
Rightfully earned by the driver — but stacked on top of a bill already loaded with fees.
Ordering direct keeps your money in our community.
Every dollar you spend ordering direct from us stays in the local economy — paying our team, buying ingredients from our suppliers, and keeping a family-run Puerto Rican shop running on Veterans Memorial Blvd. When a big third-party app is in the middle, a real cut of that same dollar is routed out of Killeen, out of Bell County, and out of Texas to the platform's corporate operations. You can make that smaller, or you can make it zero — by ordering direct.
Restaurant commission
Typical range third-party apps charge restaurants per order, before any customer-side fees.
Extra fees, ordering direct
No service fee. No app markup. Just the real menu price — same as walking in.
Stays with us & our community
Pays our team, our local suppliers, and this local business — not a distant tech platform.

Order Direct NowGrubhub vs. Direct — FAQ
Is Grubhub a bad app?
Not exactly — it's a real service with real drivers, and for restaurants the customer has never heard of, it can be a useful discovery tool. Our point isn't to attack it. Our point is that once you already know us, ordering direct is simply the better deal on every side.
Do I get the same food ordering direct?
Same kitchen. Same recipes. Same sandwiches. The only real differences are the price you pay and how quickly the order moves to the driver.
Do you deliver when I order direct?
Yes. Our direct ordering page confirms delivery based on your address. Pickup is always available too.
Why can Grubhub's prices look lower with a promo?
Promos and discounts often subsidize first orders to get you hooked on the app. After the promo, the fees come back — and they're usually higher than ordering direct ever was.
Who do I call if something's wrong?
Call us directly at (254) 317-3566. A real person at the shop will handle it — not an automated chat bot.
