As a cloud kitchen owner, I’m raising awareness about the challenges we face on delivery platforms like Zomato. They charge a 30% commission per order, and with an additional 10% government tax, we’re left with just 60% of the order value. From this, we must cover food costs, packaging, and marketing, leaving almost no profit. Small food entrepreneurs work tirelessly to serve quality meals, but such high deductions make sustainability difficult. It’s time for fairer policies that allow small businesses to thrive. Let’s support local food ventures and advocate for better commission structures. #zomato #Swiggy #SupportLocal #FairCommissions #CloudKitchen

Cloud kitchens or gosht kitchens have a very good future and every year business is growing in India. Yes commission charges and government tax are high but there are a lot of ways to increase our orders and to set menu price which allows us good no. of orders as well as our profits increase.

instead of using the money for paying commissions , invest that money for your own app and I am sure that would be very less compared to what you pay there and also use your marketing money for promotion of that app and give some discount for in app purchases and also if possible hire some delivery guys. just like dominos and other brands , even if there are swiggy and other apps people choose to buy through dominoes app rather than these food apps right. try to make something similar

Hmm the commission structures on delivery platforms are indeed hard for small cloud kitchens to manage so why did you open a cloud kitchen then? Should've kept both na, dine in and take away thing so money would keep flowing. You know why you started a cloud kitchen, same way why so many people left their jobs and bought cars on emi and started driving for Ola when they were new. Now everyone's crying.
