What is Transit Pay on Just Eat?
The fee Just Eat pays for each order, worked out from the estimated driving distance, the time to complete it, traffic and the route. It is shown on the offer before you accept.
Last checked 29/09/2026.
Transit Pay is Just Eat's name for the per-order fee. It is calculated from the estimated driving distance, how long the delivery should take, traffic and the route. The offer shows the total, the restaurant and customer locations, the estimated distance and your acceptance rate, and you have a minute to accept.
On top of it can come a restaurant delay reimbursement for a hold longer than average, a Fee Boost on flagged runs, other incentives and tips. Your statement lists each separately, and all of it is turnover.
Delay reimbursement depends on using the app correctly: swipe Parked at Restaurant once parked, Collected once you have the food, keep location on Always with precise location, and avoid battery savers that stop the app in the background.
