What Food ordering app actually is
Most restaurant owners are handed a choice between paying 25-30% to an aggregator or taking orders on WhatsApp and losing half of them. This is the third option: your own ordering app, on your own name, where you decide the commission because you own the marketplace. It handles three genuinely different order types, each with its own lifecycle — a delivery order ends when a rider hands it over, a takeaway ends when the customer collects it, and a dine-in tab ends when the table settles. People usually arrive here after deciding they need something like Swiggy or Zomato without the 25-30% cut those aggregators take. That is what this is: a food delivery app and online food ordering system under your own name, where the commission is whatever you set because the marketplace belongs to you.
Add your restaurants
Each kitchen gets its own login and manages its own menu. Photograph or upload an existing menu card and it is read in for you, item by item, for you to check before anything is saved.
Share the link and take orders
Customers install the app from a browser link — no app store, no approval wait. Orders land in the kitchen with the customer's phone, address and any note on the dish.
What you get on day one
Every restaurant, its own login
Each kitchen manages its own menu, marks dishes off when they run out, and accepts or declines orders itself. They see their own earnings and exactly what commission you took.
Dine-in QR ordering
A printed code per table. Guests scan, order from the same menu, and run one tab across every round until it is settled.
Riders dispatched when cooking starts
Food is cooked, not picked off a shelf. Riders are matched from the restaurant's location the moment the kitchen starts cooking, so nobody stands in a kitchen for twenty minutes.
Your commission, per restaurant
Set a different rate for each restaurant. Every order records the rate it was billed at, so changing a rate never rewrites what a restaurant was already owed.
Sizes, add-ons and veg marks
Half or full, spice level, extra gravy — plus the veg, egg and non-veg mark on every dish, which Indian diners look for first.
Food ordering app: the usual way vs 10mins
Figures quoted for other companies are the publicly discussed ranges; ours are what we actually charge.
| The usual way | On 10mins | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission on each order | 25-30% to a food aggregator | 5% of tracked sales to 10mins, and you set each restaurant's rate yourself |
| Who the customer belongs to | The aggregator. You cannot contact them again | You. The list, the app and the brand are yours |
| Cost to start | Rs 10-50 lakh for a custom build | Rs 0. No setup fee, nothing charged before you earn |
| Time to launch | 6-18 months of development | About 10 minutes |
| Who holds the money | The platform, settled to you later | Your own gateway. 10mins is never a party to the payment |
| Getting on a phone | App store review, then a 30% cut on in-app payments | Installs from a link. No store, no review, no store cut |
Questions people ask
Can I really build a restaurant app without coding?
Yes. You never see code. You choose the food delivery app, set your business name, colour and logo, add your restaurants, and share the link. The whole flow is a five-step form and takes about ten minutes. There is no developer to hire, no server to rent and no app store submission.
How much does a food ordering app cost on 10mins?
Nothing to launch. There is no setup fee and no monthly minimum to get started. 10mins bills 5% of the sales it tracks through your app, invoiced to you periodically. You keep the other 95%, and because customers pay through your own payment gateway, 10mins never holds your money at any point.
Do customers have to download it from the Play Store?
No. It is a Progressive Web App. Customers open your link, tap Add to Home Screen, and it behaves like a normal app on both Android and iPhone. That means no app store review, no waiting for approval, no 30% cut to Google or Apple, and updates that reach everyone the moment you make them.
Can each restaurant manage its own menu?
Yes, and this is the part most builders get wrong. Every restaurant gets its own login and its own back office — it edits its menu, adds and deletes dishes, marks something unavailable when it runs out, sees its own earnings, sees exactly what commission you took, and gets a notification the moment an order arrives.
Does it handle dine-in as well as delivery?
It handles all three. Delivery ends when a rider completes the handover, takeaway ends when the customer collects, and dine-in runs through a printed QR code on each table that opens a tab guests can add to across the evening until it is settled. Each one runs its own lifecycle rather than being forced through a delivery flow.
Can I take orders if I have no delivery riders yet?
Yes. Takeaway and dine-in need no riders at all, and you can switch delivery on later. When you do add riders, they get their own app to accept jobs, follow the route, and confirm handover with a code.
Is this like building my own Swiggy or Zomato?
In shape, yes — a food ordering app where customers browse restaurants, order for delivery, takeaway or dine-in, and a rider brings it. The difference is ownership. On an aggregator you pay 25-30% per order and the customer belongs to them. Here the marketplace is yours, you set each restaurant's commission yourself, customers pay through your own gateway, and 10mins bills 5% of tracked sales.
Can I use this as a single restaurant rather than a marketplace?
Yes. Run it with one restaurant — your own — and you have a direct food ordering app with delivery, takeaway and dine-in QR ordering, and no aggregator commission at all. You can add other restaurants later without rebuilding anything.
