Have you explored offering pick-up directly from the commissary kitchens? Not sure what local regulations you'd be navigating there or provisions on your lease, but redirecting diners there with some collateral you include with every delivery order could provide you additional orders without paying the platforms for every order.

That concept may work if you're an independent offering a unique item for the area. For example, http://www.windycitypie.com (chicago pizza pequod's style) in seattle started out this way by having online-only pickup/delivery from a commissary kitchen in an industrial district south of downtown.

We're working on that with our Portland commissary right now. There are talks of installing a delivery/pick-up window to better operations. Stay tuned!
