Wondering how?
Let’s take it ahead!
Zomato like food delivery application needs three different apps under a single admin panel.
The three apps are the customer app, the restaurant app and the driver app. Apart from these three apps, the admin panel dashboard serves as the soul of the entire delivery startup.
A) The Customer Applications serves a vital role as it is the single app that helps the customer in placing or request a food order from the nearest restaurant or food delivery outlet. The customer application features need to be precisely designed for the active order placing utility.

- Push Notifications
- Real-time Order Tracking
- favourite Orders

B) The restaurant or the food outlet or the vendor application comes in the role once the customer has placed the order. The vendor application can either accept or reject the order depending upon the rush at the restaurant, availability of the items, availability of the driver, etc. In short, to make the food delivery process easier and quicker, the developer needs to design the vendor app with exclusive features.

Cost estimation of the food delivery application like Zomato/Swiggy
It is affordable to design and develop a food delivery app for your food delivery startup or business. The cost entirely depends on the type of application development model that an owner chooses. E.g., the licensed version or the customised version is little expensive as it includes one-time development cost for all the three sub-apps and the dashboard menu.
On the other hand, the subscription model is very affordable as it includes the monthly rent from the developer company for using the entire white-label solution for the food delivery business. The subscription model is the pay as you use model, where the owner needs to pay only for the time being the application is being used. SaaS-based companies build such apps and it is one of the most running business models these days.
