Gorge charges only 10% per order — vs 30% on DoorDash and Uber Eats. You keep more of every sale. No monthly fees. No setup costs.
Why Gorge
Built for vendors like you
We built Gorge specifically for street food vendors — food trucks, carts, pop-ups. Not for big restaurants. Everything is designed to help you make more money with less hassle.
Only 10% fee
DoorDash and Uber Eats charge up to 30%. We charge 10% — deducted from your payout, invisible to customers.
Live location
Update your pin daily so customers always know exactly where to find you. Perfect for food trucks that move around.
Real-time orders
Orders come in with sound alerts. Confirm, prepare, and mark ready from your phone — no tablet required.
Free to list
No upfront cost, no monthly subscription. You only pay when you make a sale. Zero risk to get started.
Tips are yours
Customers can tip 10%, 15%, 20%, or custom amounts. 100% of tips go directly to you — we take nothing.
Earnings dashboard
See your real earnings, transaction history, and average order value. Payouts every 2 weeks via Stripe.

Permits & Licenses
What you need to sell food legally in LA
Los Angeles has specific requirements for street food vendors. Here's every permit you need, where to get it, and how much it costs.
Important: Gorge requires all vendors to have valid permits before being approved. Operating without the required permits is illegal and can result in fines. We're here to help you get set up correctly — reach out to vendors@eatgorge.com if you need guidance.

When a customer pays $12 for a burrito, they pay exactly $12. Gorge deducts 10% ($1.20) from your payout, so you receive $10.80. Customers never see any platform fee — your prices are your prices. Tips are passed through 100% with no deduction.
Payouts are processed every 2 weeks on Fridays via Stripe. You need to connect a bank account through Stripe Connect to receive payments. Minimum payout rules follow Stripe's standard policies.
You have a limited time (shown in your dashboard) to accept or decline each order. If you don't respond in time, the order is automatically cancelled and the customer is refunded. After repeated missed orders your store may be automatically closed until a Gorge admin reviews and reopens it. Manually declining an order does NOT count as a miss.
Yes — the Gorge vendor dashboard works on any smartphone browser. You don't need to download an app. We recommend keeping your phone nearby when your store is open so you don't miss orders.
Yes — the vendor dashboard has a map where you can drop a pin at your current location. You can update it anytime. There's also a "Use my current location" button that uses your phone's GPS. We recommend updating your pin every morning before opening.
We accept food trucks, street carts, pop-up vendors, market stalls, and small food businesses. You must have a valid LA County health permit. We currently focus on Los Angeles but are expanding to other cities soon.
No contracts, no commitments. You can pause or close your store anytime from the dashboard. There are no monthly fees — you only pay the 10% fee when you make a sale.
If you decline an order, the customer is automatically refunded. For other refund requests, contact our support team at vendors@eatgorge.com within 24 hours and we'll handle it. Refunds typically process within 3-5 business days.
Yes — you can add modifier groups to any menu item. For example: "Choose your protein" (required, radio), "Add toppings" (optional, multi-select). Each modifier can have its own price. Customers see these options when they add an item to their cart.
