Overview

What we build for you

Food delivery is no longer only a big-city habit. Restaurants in smaller cities, campuses and townships want to deliver, yet many struggle with aggregator commissions. A local platform with fair terms for restaurants and dependable delivery can earn loyalty on both sides.

We build food delivery platforms that work like Zomato or Swiggy, under your own brand. Customers order from many restaurants in one app, restaurants manage orders from a simple panel, delivery partners get turn-by-turn navigation, and you control zones, fees, commissions and payouts from one dashboard.

Everything updates in real time. When a restaurant accepts an order, nearby riders are notified, and once a rider picks it up the customer can follow them on the map. Cash on delivery, rain surcharges and peak-hour rider shortages are handled in the system instead of over phone calls.

Ideal for

  • Startups launching food delivery in a city or region
  • Restaurant groups and cloud kitchen brands
  • Entrepreneurs in tier 2 and tier 3 cities
  • Campus, township and office park delivery services
  • Tiffin services and home-chef networks

FAQ

Questions about the food delivery app

Can't find your answer? Ask us directly and we'll reply on WhatsApp or by email.

Ask on WhatsApp
Can you build an app like Zomato or Swiggy for our city?
Yes, with the same core flow: customers order from many restaurants, restaurants accept and prepare, riders deliver with live tracking, and you earn a commission or delivery fee. It runs under your brand, and starting with a few neighbourhoods lets you get delivery times right before you expand.
Do restaurants need to install an app?
No. Restaurants get a web panel that runs on a tablet, laptop or phone, with a loud alert for every new order. A dedicated restaurant app and kitchen ticket printing can be added if you need them.
How are delivery partners assigned to orders?
Each order is offered to the nearest available rider, and if they do not accept within a set time it moves to the next one. Your dispatch team can override assignments from the dashboard during rush hours or bad weather.
Does it support cash on delivery?
Yes. Riders mark cash collected in their app, and the dashboard shows how much cash each rider is holding, so you can set limits and settle with them daily.
Can a restaurant chain or cloud kitchen use it as its own delivery app?
Yes. If you run several outlets or brands, the same system can work as a single-brand delivery app, with your outlets in place of partner restaurants and your own riders handling delivery.
How much does it cost to build a food delivery app?
Three things drive most of the cost: whether restaurants use a web panel or need their own app, whether riders are assigned automatically or by a dispatcher, and whether you need iOS at launch alongside Android. We plan the first version with you and confirm a fixed quote before development starts.
