The prices will not be higher. Examples are these online food ordering websites so popular in colleges, like campusfood.com - the price for using the website is zero, but the restaurants still pay campusfood for the service of directing business - at no cost to users.

In other words, if I call and buy my Lo Mein for 5 bucks, China Cafe gets all 5 in revenues. But if I place the same order via campusfood.com they probably have to pay a few percent to campusfood, and they only get maybe 4.90 in revenue, which is still a large profit to them, because the original margins are well wide enough.

Same thing will happen here.
