This illustration focuses on features, cost, alternatives, and business model of on-demand food delivery website like Deliveroo! (Just Eat is a similar counterpart in the food delivery domain)

Deliveroo is an online food delivery company that started in London, England. It is operable in more than 200 locations globally. It started with a mission to bring food to people’s doorsteps, to increase convenience, and save some time for those who were short on time. It’s just like wishing on a star, right there at that moment in time. Deliveroo focuses on delivering food within 30 minutes of placing an order. They have tied up with some restaurants and base their deliveries on a ‘frank’ algorithm based on predictive technology that evaluates the most effective way of distributing orders. They work persistently to reduce their delivery time for their delivery agents to complete more orders per hour.

This will include an image-rich multi-category menu, pre-integrated online payments, email-SMS-chat notifications, mobile OTP or social media sign-in, discounts, offers and loyalty points; despite this, we cannot be 100% sure about the target audience of the on-demand food delivery website and app that we create, the number of versions that will be there in the app, the right features/menus/categories in the food delivery app, about how to partner with food delivery services, how the admin dashboard will manage the details of employees, services and inventories.

What Is The Cost To Create An App Like Deliveroo?

The average cost to create an on-demand food delivery app with the features mentioned above will be $30,000.

Conclusive: Where Does the Scope of Multi-Restaurant Delivery Websites Take Us?

This could seem like an irony of sorts, the food delivery apps have rather disrupted the post-COVID-19 world, bringing hope to the food delivery industry that fell under the pressure of the crisis in the earlier part of 2020. The cost to create a food delivery app/website would start at $25,000 and this figure can be retained in case existing APIs are used to create such a website. But just in case we consider it to get scaled up in future with market demand, client requirements, it is important to understand the key components, key features, technologies required and monetization strategies to build a site like Just Eat. We are eager to discuss in case you have a creative idea on food delivery website like Just Eat. Don’t wait, shoot the messenger right away!
