Question 1

How much does a food delivery app cost in the UAE?

Accepted Answer

A three-app system (customer, rider, restaurant) with ordering, dispatch, live tracking, and one payment gateway typically costs AED 120,000–300,000. Adding a full admin panel, multi-branch support, loyalty, and advanced dispatch optimisation takes it to AED 300,000–700,000. A single-restaurant ordering app is much less — AED 40,000–90,000.

Question 2

Should I build my own app or list on Talabat and Deliveroo?

Accepted Answer

Aggregators give reach but take 25–35% commission and own the customer relationship. Most UAE brands run both: stay on aggregators for discovery, and push repeat customers to a direct app with better margins, loyalty, and data. We build the direct channel and can integrate aggregator order injection so the kitchen works from one screen.

Question 3

Do you build the rider (driver) app and dispatch system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build the rider app with order acceptance, navigation, proof of delivery, earnings, and shift management, plus the dispatch engine — auto-assignment by distance and load, batching, live ETAs, and a control-room view for operations.

Question 4

Can you integrate restaurant POS and printers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We integrate common UAE POS systems (Foodics, Toast, Lightspeed) and kitchen display or printer setups so online orders flow straight into the kitchen without manual re-entry.
