Detroit-Specific Tips

  • Michigan's 6% sales tax is lower than many states — but it's still calculated on inflated app prices
  • Jet's, Buddy's, and Domino's are all Michigan-born — and all have excellent direct ordering with deals
  • Wayne State / UMich-Dearborn students: direct ordering 3x/week saves $500-700/semester
  • Many Corktown/Midtown restaurants use Toast — check for direct ordering before using an app

Annual Savings

  • 2x/week: $480-680/year saved
  • 3x/week: $720-1,020/year saved
  • Lions game day orders: $10-15 saved per group order
