Question 1

How is the 'Home-Cooked Meal' cost estimated?

Accepted Answer

We estimate the cost of a home-cooked meal as a percentage (typically 30-50%) of your average food delivery order value. This reflects the savings on labor, marketing, and profit margins that are built into restaurant prices. You can adjust this assumption.

Question 2

Are tips included?

Accepted Answer

There is an optional toggle to include tips. When enabled, it adds a standard tip percentage (e.g., 10-15%) to each order to provide a more accurate total cost.

Question 3

Is it bad to order food delivery?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. This calculator is for awareness, not judgment. Ordering food is a convenient and enjoyable part of modern life. This tool is designed to provide clarity on its financial impact so you can make intentional decisions.
