01 Overview

The Indian food delivery market is ₹75,000 crore and growing at 22% annually. Restaurants that own their delivery apps keep 100% of the margin — instead of losing 25-30% to Swiggy/Zomato commissions. Cloud kitchens use custom apps to scale to 50+ brands with a single tech stack. AdelSocial builds white-label food delivery platforms for restaurants, cloud kitchens, and multi-restaurant aggregators.

02 The Challenges

Problems we solve

The operational friction killing growth right now. Each one eliminated by what we build.

01

25-30% commission to aggregators

Every order on Swiggy/Zomato costs you 25% + payment gateway fees + promo discounts. Your app = 0% commission.

02

No direct customer relationship

Swiggy owns your customer data. You can't remarket, upsell, or build loyalty. Your app owns everything.

03

Menu control friction

Menu changes take 24-48 hours on aggregator platforms. Your app = instant updates, dynamic pricing, real-time inventory.

04

Fake reviews & rating games

Aggregator algorithms decide your visibility. Your app = you own the reviews, ratings, and rankings.
