Today, while meeting restaurants to onboard for our platform, we came across something eye-opening. Swiggy & Zomato charge 30–35% commission from restaurants — and that’s not the end. Customers also pay delivery fees, platform fees, and hidden charges. Here’s the reality ➡️ A simple Chicken Noodles priced at ₹120 in a restaurant ends up costing ₹260–₹300 on these apps. ➡️ Restaurants struggle with high commissions. ➡️ Customers pay almost 2.5x the real price. We’re on the ground, listening, learning, and working to solve this broken system. This is just the beginning — Fyynk is coming soon. 🚀

The stats you mentioned are quite well-known and have been common knowledge for years. What you missed, however, is why platforms charge that 30% commission—I'd suggest digging into that with some research. Restaurants typically don’t struggle with the high commission fees directly, as they often pass those costs on to customers by marking up their prices. It’s the customers who feel the pinch. Beyond that, the current system has multiple flaws, and it can be quite difficult for newcomers to adapt. Since I’ve previously worked closely with a food service provider, I’ve gained a solid understanding of how things work behind the scenes. There's still a lot of ground-level insight needed, so there’s more work ahead for you. Good luck—especially now that you’re building Fyynk.
