The short answer
A fresh, cooked meal from a licensed Vancouver kitchen, delivered to your door, starts at CA$12.00; a pack brings it to CA$11.99 a meal.
You pay the price on the menu. Pick the days you want on the calendar, pay once, and the kitchen cooks and delivers. Nobody asks for a tip at the end.
Every kitchen, per meal, delivered
Pack = the kitchen's best bulk rate, worked out per meal. Fit-style kitchens sell whole days, so those read per day. Single meal = the cheapest full meal on the kitchen's public menu today. Sorted by single meal, cheapest first.

The same CA$20 meal at your door, two ways
What the customer pays and what the kitchen keeps, side by side. Uber Eats figures are the ranges Uber publishes for Canada and British Columbia; the delivery fee and tip come on top and vary by order, so we do not guess them. Card processing is separate on both sides.
| Da Dabba | Uber Eats (BC) | |
|---|---|---|
| Meal | CA$20.00 | CA$20.00 |
| Service fee | none | CA$2.50 to CA$6.50 per order, including the BC Courier Fee |
| Delivery fee | included above the kitchen's minimum order; a few kitchens add a charge for far-out zones, shown before you pay | varies by distance, time and demand |
| Tip | none, and no prompt | optional, prompted at checkout |
| Customer pays, before tax | CA$20.00 | CA$22.50 to CA$26.50, before the delivery fee and tip |
| Kitchen receives | CA$17.60 (12% platform fee on delivery orders; 6% on pickup) | CA$14.00 to CA$16.00 when Uber delivers (20% to 30% by plan); CA$17.00 if the restaurant delivers itself (15%) |

Against the usual options
Meal prep subscriptions
You commit to a weekly box and a fixed menu. On Da Dabba there is nothing to cancel: order the days you want, skip the rest, and the packs are there when you want the bulk rate.
Restaurant delivery apps
Service fee, delivery fee, then the tip screen. Da Dabba kitchens set one menu price, and there is no tip prompt anywhere in the checkout. The CA$20 table above shows the gap.
Cooking every night
Still the cheapest, if you count nothing for your time. Da Dabba is for the nights you would rather not, from kitchens that are licensed and inspected.
