Deliveroo Clone

Deliveroo has a revenue generation model typical of many food delivery companies.

This model is discussed in more detail below.

Order commissions
Deliveroo collects a commission of 25-45% for every food order it facilitates. The exact commission depends on the particular restaurant partner and the country of operation.

Delivery fees
Deliveroo customers must also pay a delivery fee which is then forwarded to the courier by the company.

Delivery fees are based on the distance between the restaurant and the customer and also the estimated travel time.

Onboarding fees
Deliveroo also charges an onboarding fee for new restaurants wishing to be included on the platform.

Ostensibly, this fee covers the cost of photographing the menu and also the equipment that connects with online ordering software. A typical onboarding fee is in the vicinity of $300.

Deliveroo Plus
Deliveroo Plus is a subscription membership plan for members giving them access to free delivery, 24/7 customer service, and exclusive restaurant offers.

Prices vary according to country. In Australia, for example, the cost of Deliveroo Plus is:

$14.99/month for the Gold plan, which offers free delivery on all restaurants, takeaway, and grocery deliveries.
$6.99/month for the Silver plan, which offers the same free delivery provided the order amount is at least $40.
Deliveroo for Business
Deliveroo for Business is a service provided to corporate customers who wish to order food in bulk for their employees.

The fee structure for this service is unclear, but the company likely earns a commission from its existing restaurant partners. Given the bulk nature of these food orders, the commission is likely to be significant.

Deliveroo Editions
Deliveroo Editions is a network of kitchens where several restaurants and food brands work together in a single space to streamline the food delivery process.

These kitchens are built and fitted out by Deliveroo and leased free of charge to the restaurants and brands. However, the company takes a higher commission for every order placed through the app. This commission may be as high as 50% in some cases.

Our mission, ethos and what sets us apart
Current online takeaway food options and delivery experiences are sub-par. Customer choice is
limited to restaurants that already provide a takeaway service, which tend to be on the lower end
of the scale. Its mission is to bring the world’s best local restaurants to everyone’s home or
office.
Deliveroo is transforming the way people think about food delivery by offering fast, transparent
and reliable delivery from premium restaurants. It brings people high-quality local cuisine from
the places that our customers know and love. Quality, convenience and transparency are at the
forefront of what they do.

Mr Shu, an American moved to the UK to work for JP Morgan, founded the company in 2013 after being forced to eat Tesco sandwiches and salads during late shifts working as a banker in Canary Wharf.

Deliveroo has raised a total of $1.7B in funding over 13 rounds. Their latest funding was raised on Aug 9, 2021 from a Post-IPO Equity round.

Doordash — the online food delivery leader in the U.S. and a pioneer of the platform-to-consumer model.
Uber Eats — the most widely available service. Six continents!
Just Eat — the UK food delivery leader, it is also a part of Brazilian delivery giant iFood.
Grubhub — the app that controlled over 50% of U.S. online food deliveries in 2018.
Postmates — the app that is under Uber Eats’ control since 2019, takes 10% of U.S. online food deliveries.

The design development process can be roughly divided into three stages:

• Development of the layout — 25 hours: visualization of what your application will look like.
• The embodiment of design — 45 hours: coding, working with images, photos, videos, and texts.
• Design testing of technical and conceptual levels — 22 hours: user experience and usability.

The cost of developing a food delivery app like Deliveroo depends on several factors.

Location of the App Develop Company
Experience of the App Developers
Complication of the App Design
Number and Level of App Features
App Platform You Choose (Android/iOS/Hybrid)
Type of App Development: Clone or Custom App Development
All these factors could lead your food delivery app development cost anywhere from $25,000 to $100,000 or even more.

Logically thinking if you do buy our app and you want to customize it, there is no better team than ours to do it for you since we have developed all the underlying base code.

We have the biggest range of pre-built business applications in the market that cover several business models. We built all these products with the sole aim of reducing time to market and cost to market for our customers.

On average it costs over $100,000 to build most of these products that we have, so using them as a base to build your customized business idea will definitely bring your costs and time down significantly.

Most custom software development companies pitch you a full project plan to develop a product from scratch, a process that might take months and cost you pot loads of money, where-as we pull something out from our repotriotire, customize it and voila we have you a product in let’s say 60 days 🙂

In case you do have an idea that is not similar to any of our pre-built products we can surely develop something totally custom, from scratch for you. We will try to re-use some of the micro-services and reusable software components to do some rapid application development.

We have done this successfully for large corporations who have raised multi million dollars in venture capital funds. Our team comes with a strong technical expertise in a broad range of technologies that cover:

1. API Development – GoLang, Node.JS, Python, Elixir (Erlang)
2. App Development – iOS ( Swift, Objective C) , Android (Java, Kotlin), Flutter, React Native
3. Web Application Development – React.JS, AngularJS 9.0, Next.JS, Vue.JS
4. Data Science & Analytics – Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, Apache Flink, Hadoop
5. Blockchain- Hyperledger
6. Desktop Application – Electron JS

The major costs involved for running applications of such nature are as follows:

1. Server costs for hosting the API’s and Database – A decent configuration on AWS / Azure / Google / Digitalocean will cost you anywhere between $150-$200/month.
2. Content Delivery Network – Apps such as these require the content to be delivered seamlessly with low latency and low bandwidth consumption. We use a CDN to ensure we are doing image / video transformations to maintain content quality at different network speeds and different devices.
3. Text messages for verification codes – We generally use Twilio for sending text messages. The price for this depends on the country and can be tracked here @ https://www.twilio.com/pricing.
4. Transactional emails – We generally use services like Sendgrid, Mailgun or Amazon SES for sending transactional emails. All these services usually have a free tier that should hold good for new apps.
5. SSL – We secure all our apps via a Wildcard SSL certificate that secures all sub domains for a particular domain name. This is important for security. A pretty affordable place to get one will be here @ https://www.ssl2buy.com/alphassl-wildcard.php
6. Cloudflare – We use Cloudflare as a firewall and also often to manage the domain. It has a free tier and that usually is good enough. If under attack like maybe a DDOS attack , Cloudflare can prove to be a pretty solid first layer of defence.
7. Google Map API – We use google map api’s for tagging locations with a post and also for sharing locations inside the chat. A google map API key with billing enabled is required to use this service.
8. Apple Developer Account – An apple developer account is required to host the app under your name. An account costs $99/year. Individual accounts are pretty easy to create but if you need the app to show under your company name then you will need to apply for a company account and that requires a DUNS number that you will need to first acquire to get listed as a developer with apple.

9. Google Play Developer Account – A google play developer account is required to host an app under your name / your company’s name on the Android play store. This costs $25 one time. You can get a google play developer account here @ https://play.google.com/apps/publish/signup/#EnterDetailsPlace.
10. Domain Name – A domain name is required to host the API’s / website etc. A domain name can be bought from sources like GoDaddy etc. Price of a domain name really depends on its availability etc.
