What Makes Rapido Ownly Different?

No Restaurant Commissions

Unlike Swiggy and Zomato that take commissions ranging from 16% to 30%, Rapido Ownly introduces a zero-commission model on orders for restaurants. Instead, restaurants pay a flat subscription fee depending on the order value:

  • ₹25 subscription fee for orders worth ₹400 or less

  • ₹50 subscription fee for orders above ₹400

This helps restaurants maintain consistent pricing without additional packaging or commission charges, benefiting consumers with better affordability.

Affordable Meal Options & Pricing Transparency

Ownly requires partner restaurants to list at least four meal options priced under ₹150, prominently featured under the app section "Meals for One." Furthermore, Ownly maintains strict price parity—restaurants cannot charge more for delivery than for dine-in.

Customers are charged:

  • ₹20 delivery fee for orders above ₹99

  • Lower or tiered delivery charges for smaller orders, typically ₹10–₹50 depending on order value and distance

  • GST is applied transparently without hidden costs

Powered by Rapido’s Existing Fleet

Leveraging its massive rider network powering bike taxi services, Rapido efficiently manages food deliveries at scale. The network spans over 10 million vehicles in India with 5-6 million electric two-wheelers, ensuring swift and eco-friendly delivery.

Customer-Centric Restaurant Visibility

Restaurant rankings in Ownly’s app are based purely on customer rating, not paid promotions, ensuring a fair platform where quality and service matter most.
