A Swiggy-Style Platform
Built for Regional Operators
OpenWayEdge was built for a client who wanted to own their city's food delivery market — not depend on Swiggy or Zomato. The platform handles the full delivery ecosystem: customers order, restaurants receive and prepare, riders pick up and deliver, and the admin controls everything from one dashboard.
The SaaS model means any operator can white-label the platform for their own market, with full control over commission rates, delivery zones, and restaurant partnerships.
❌ The Challenge
- Managing multiple restaurants in real-time
- Live rider tracking with accurate ETAs
- Different app experiences for 3 user types
- Restaurant-specific menus and pricing
- Commission split across platform, restaurant, rider
✅ The Solution
- Unified backend serving 3 separate apps
- Firebase real-time for live rider location
- Role-based app flows (customer/rider/restaurant)
- Dynamic menu builder per restaurant
- Automated Razorpay payout splitting

Common Questions About
Food Delivery App Development
How long does it take to build a food delivery app like OpenWayEdge?
A full multi-restaurant platform with customer app, rider app, restaurant panel, and admin dashboard typically takes 12–16 weeks with TechEin's team. An MVP with core features can be ready in 8 weeks. Timeline depends on the number of custom features and third-party integrations required.
Can I white-label OpenWayEdge for my own city?
Yes — the platform is built as a white-label SaaS. We can rebrand the apps with your logo, colors, and app name, configure your delivery zones and commission rates, and launch it as your own product. All source code is handed over at project completion.
How does the payment split between restaurant, rider, and platform work?
Razorpay Route is used to automatically split each payment at checkout — a defined percentage goes to the restaurant, a rider fee is set per delivery, and the platform commission is retained. All splits are configurable from the admin panel without any code changes.
What's the cost of building a food delivery app in India?
A full multi-restaurant delivery platform (3 apps + admin panel) typically costs ₹8–15 lakhs depending on features. An MVP with one restaurant and basic ordering starts from ₹3 lakhs.
