Dine-in vs Delivery Pricing

Dine-in and delivery prices for the same Wagamama dish are often not the same number, and the gap can be easy to miss until checkout. This page explains why, so you know what to expect before ordering.

Why the prices differ

Delivery-platform prices (via services such as Deliveroo, Uber Eats or Just Eat) typically run higher than the dine-in or collection price for the same dish. This markup covers the platform’s commission and the cost of packaging and delivery logistics, and is set independently of the restaurant’s own menu pricing. On top of the menu markup, most platforms also add their own delivery and service fees at checkout, separate from the dish price itself.

What this means when comparing prices

A price quoted for dine-in or collection should not be assumed to match what you’ll pay through a delivery app for the same dish — and prices can also vary between different delivery platforms carrying the same restaurant. This site tracks dine-in/collection and delivery-platform pricing separately rather than blending them into a single average figure, for exactly this reason. See the price verification methodology for more detail.

Before you order

If the exact price matters, check the live price on the specific channel you intend to use — the official Wagamama menu for dine-in/collection, or your delivery platform’s app, immediately before ordering. See ordering and delivery for a fuller overview of the available channels.
