A food delivery app like one we’ve made known as BeachGrub – Beach food delivery App, usually have following major components –
An App for the Customers to order food, select food, get delivery updates, be able to pay, get discounts, repeat order, see their order history, see their delivery guy’s movement and so on.
An App for the delivery guy to receive order from the restaurants and deliver to customers, they get their delivery duty either from the platform of the App or directly from the restaurant and get paid according to the miles they travel and rush hour factors, to keep history of their jobs and total money made daily or during a given period of time.
An App or a web admin panel for the restaurants to receive orders from the customers, assign orders to the delivery guys, get paid, be able to offer discounts, be able to list their food items, pictures and pricing, can see total orders, can pay for premium listing etc.
A super admin panel or platform Admin panel (usually web) for the super admin to register or approve new restaurants, new delivery guys, be able to see all transactions, be able to take action, integration with customer care (chat or call), be able to change pricing, apply discounts and so on.
Notification module – which is absolutely important for a delivery app, where both customers, delivery guys, restaurants get timely updates about all actions on the app – new orders, orders delivery state, discounts, payment issues, payment done updates and so on.
So in order to crate a Food delivery App, you have to have all these component with a powerful secure database, cloud hosting, payment gateway integration, location integration and much more. Creating an App like this will cost approx. $ 40 K on iOS and Android, and go upto as big as $ 80 K depending upon more sophisticated features that you want to incorporate time to time. We advise to hire an App development team on retainer after the launch version of the food delivery app is done.
