line.
Here in this blog, I am going to discuss how to develop a food delivery app like DoorDash which
is also one of the best food delivery apps. Let’s have a look at the quick definition.
What is DoorDash?

year 2013 and is situated in San Francisco. With the help of DoorDash, you can order food
from various local restaurants of your choice. It also lets people sign up to become food
vendors (nicknamed ‘Dashers’) and inevitably lets restaurants sign up to sell their food to
consumers.
According to a study, the customer research company Second Measure, it is the most
influential app-based food delivery service in the United States, ahead of Uber Eats and
GrubHub.

convenience of the food ordering apps. All these features can be integrated by the app
developers.

popular payment gateways offers flexibility and cashless transactions to the customers, thus

Estimate Cost of Food Delivery App like DoorDash
Pricing and the budget are crucial considerations in determining how to continue with software
growth. Although pricing is different from project to project, there are certain factors you can
remember (which will factor in your app’s production costs) when you’re creating a food order
app –
1. Settings and features that you like in your app
2. Android or iOS (Android normally costs less)
3. Integration or back-end development by third parties. Third-party integrations are favored if
you’re short on funding because they’re cheaper, but they do accumulate massive recurring


7. long-term costs. In the meantime, server backend is usually preferred, since it can be a major
investment initially, but is favored over the long term.
4. If you like social media incorporation or an admin panel in the app,
5. The team or mobile app development firm that you select.
6. Upgrades and repair costs after the development.
So basically, it depends upon the features, functionalities, and customized things that will
finalize the actual cost of the food delivery app.
Now, let’s discuss a little about the estimated timeline to
develop a food delivery app like DoorDash
In total, you need approx. 1000 development hours to create a food delivery app.
Now, when it comes to setting the price, developers from different countries have various prices.
Almost every developer will know how to make a food delivery app. But the key is quality and timely
delivery.
More importantly, it is essential to hire a team that knows how to create a custom food ordering
app.
An in-house team will charge around $100 to $120 per hour.
In comparison to this, you can also look to outsource the work to the Ukrainian developers. The
average price in Ukraine is $30 per hour and in India around $20 per hour.
Lastly, you also have the option to hire freelancers to build the solutions. By taking this option, you
can set aside a food delivery app development company. In this case, the price may be lower, the
communication issues can damage your app.
