Starting your own food delivery business is a fantastic idea. The success of startups like DoorDash, Seamless, UberEATS, Grubhub, Eat24, and Foodpanda is proof of this. A half of Americans, according to research, order takeout from the Internet at least once each week. And just as the market itself is expanding, so is the number of these people.
The cost of developing a food delivery app or website depends on many factors . Chief among them are complexity, number of features, and developers' hourly rate.
The degree of complexity mainly depends on whether you want to use pre-made solutions (templates, clones), or whether you want to build everything from scratch. The cost will be somewhere between $1,000 and $5,000 in the first instance, and starting at $20,000 in the second.
As for the number of functions, their list depends on what kind of application or site you plan to create:
Aggregator. The service acts as a platform where manufacturers, couriers and buyers meet and establish business relationships (one-time or permanent). A platform that works according to this model allows customers to order food and track the order, restaurants - to receive orders and manage them, couriers - to take orders and monitor their implementation: location, payment status, workload.
Logistic support. This model assumes that you provide support to restaurants in the form of real-time delivery of their products to end consumers. That is, the whole range of their services goes to you, except for the direct preparation of food. The end user selects a product from the menu, places an order, and keeps track of where it went. At the same time, the restaurant monitors the status of the order through your service and transfers the food to the courier arriving from your side.
