Rapido's Ownly to charge 8-15% commission from restaurants

Ownly, the food delivery app by the ride-hailing platform Rapido, will be launched in Bengaluru by month end. Swiggy and Zomato charge the restaurants 15-20% commission per order. It will levy a ₹25 fee per order for orders up to ₹400 and ₹50 for orders above ₹400. It will charge the customers a ₹20 delivery fee, but no platform fee.

This model will ensure the restaurants will not incur losses due to the discounts offered by the food delivery apps to their customers. For restaurants unwilling to offer discounts, Ownly will provide tools and data to offer discounts to selected customers. Effectively, the cost of ordering from a restaurant will be the same as dining in.

Rapido will start charging the restaurants a subscription fee to make the business viable. Zomato recently announced a new fee of ₹20 for deliveries between 4-6 km, and ₹40 for deliveries beyond 6 km.
