effortlessly. We don’t realize how much we are dependent on these apps.
Especially during the pandemic, with various government regulations for staying
back at home, food delivery apps acted as our saviors when we craved restaurant
food or just something fancy. Also food delivery was the only way to earn money
for the restaurants since the dine-in option was prohibited in most parts of the
UK.
Even with the huge demand for such food delivery apps, some people criticize
them for charging high commissions which are taken away from the restaurants’
already small profit margin. Thus many restaurant chains are opting to develop
their food delivery app like UberEats. But developing an app like that is not an easy

3. This type of platform acts as an aggregator which shows you information
regarding nearby eateries. The users get to look into the menus and prices along
with ratings and reviews. This helps the customers to choose the right place for
themselves, while the restaurants get to expand their business. This type of model
does not offer any food delivery services. The restaurants need to use their
courier service to deliver the food. In return for letting the eateries expand their
business, they charge up to 15% of the profit.

2. Order and Delivery model
First, the order is placed by a user and the payment gets authorized.
Restaurants receive the order and start preparing the food.
Once the order is ready, the restaurants notify a courier which is arranged by
the platform.
Once the courier delivers the food and the customer verifies it, the payment is
deducted.

5. A vivid analysis of the market trends before the development of an app is
necessary to clear up your vision and doubts. There are many competitors in this
business so to stay ahead of all, you should also do a competitor analysis.
Choosing the right Food market model:
3. Analyzing the market
For example, knowing what other apps are offering could be used and modified to
your benefit. There is a lot to learn even from your rival sometimes. Apps like
Domino’s pizza also accept orders via Twitter. This is an unusual feature that can
tempt customers. Using a chatbot through messenger to receive orders can be an
interesting approach as well. Since smartwatches are becoming as common as
smartphones, you can also incorporate some features into your app which lets you
receive orders via smartwatches.
Also, apps like Uber Eats give restaurants a chance to promote their services
through paid advertising. This type of feature gives both parties profits.

6. Apps like UberEats do not use one single platform, they use multiple platforms to
receive, manage and deliver orders. There is one app for clients, one for couriers,
and another for eateries. All these apps have different features as well.

All these apps must operate synchronously. They must show up-to-date
information otherwise the whole system will collapse. For this not to happen, it
is important to arrange the data exchange between apps and servers. To
synchronize data, developers use a client-server architecture using API for the
data exchange. When a user places a request, the client reaches an API that
defines their profile type (super admin, restaurant, courier, or customer), then
goes to the database to return relevant information.

9. Hiring the right company is the most crucial step for developing a food delivery
app like Uber Eats. A reliable company means one which has the experience, a
unique approach, and enough team power to tackle your demand and deliver the
same to you on time. The firm of your choice must have Android and iOS
developers. This will enable you to attract customers from all platforms.
