Delivery-heavy operations

AI agents for delivery-heavy New York restaurants

The apps take an estimated $18,000 to $54,000 a year in fraudulent refunds, billing errors and relabeled fees. The statements are too dense for any human to audit, so most of it hardens into gone money.

Your wedge: Delivery Profit Guardian

“The platforms are quietly eating far more than New York lets them charge. The auditor finds every leak and sends you a P&L digest each Monday.”

Delivery Profit Guardian audits every delivery order, refund and fee line across DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub. It flags fraudulent refunds and billing errors, checks every charge against the 15% commission cap New York law puts on these platforms, files disputes with evidence inside each claim window, and sends you a true net delivery P&L every Monday morning.

What it’s closing

Three leaks in a room like yours

Leak No. 1

Fraudulent refunds

2–3% of your delivery sales vanish to order disputes — and up to 60% of refund claims involve customer fraud, including AI-doctored food photos filed for automatic refunds. You lose the food, the labor and the revenue.

$1,200–$1,800 / motypical loss, est.
Leak No. 2

Billing & reconciliation errors

About 7% of orders change mid-flight — driver cancels, items 86'd, address swaps — and never reconcile against your payout. Single-location audits have caught six figures in invalid platform fees over time.

$300–$900 / motypical loss, est.
Leak No. 3

Hidden junk fees

New York caps base commissions at 15% — so platforms shifted to inflated processing markups, phone-order routing fees and relabeled surcharges that add an extra 2–15% back on top.

$500–$2,000+ / motypical loss, est.

Figures are industry estimates for independent New York venues or simulated demo results. Your real baseline gets measured on site.

Where Delivery-Heavy usually go next

Nobody buys the whole suite on day one. This is the order that tends to make sense for delivery-heavy operations, once the first agent has earned its keep.

Questions delivery-heavy operations ask

Do you need my POS to start?
No. It works from the platform reports you already receive. That's deliberate — most operators want proof before wiring anything into their POS.
Will disputing hurt my standing with the platforms?
Disputes are a normal part of every platform's published merchant process, with defined windows and evidence rules. The agent files inside those rules. What's abnormal is the roughly 73% of valid claims nobody ever files.
What about the courier chaos at my front door?
That's Expeditor Agent — staging shelves, held couriers and pickup-code checks so the right bag leaves with the right driver and your host stays with your guests.
