How does Deliveroo work?
With the help of an on-demand food delivery application like Deliveroo, food ordering and delivery are made relatively simple. Once the users make orders on the Deliveroo app or website, Deliveroo delivers food from restaurants to customers through its riders. The following are the steps involved in ordering from the Deliveroo app:
- Users can browse through the restaurants enlisted on the Deliveroo app after signing up and navigate through the menus to select the food from the outlet that interests them. Deliveroo only accepts card payments to create a safer working environment for its riders.
- The outlet that the customer has ordered from receives a notification. After this, the outlet works on getting the food prepared and ready for delivery.
- The restaurant confirms the order depending on the availability. Deliveroo’s riders stationed near the restaurant then receive notifications. Riders collect the food from restaurants and deliver it to the customers at their doorstep without compromising the quality.
Deliveroo’s Revenue model
Deliveroo’s annual income has seen a considerable increase since its inception. Deliveroo increased its revenues by 56% in 2021 to € 1.8 billion. It has managed to double its revenue in the past three years. Deliveroo’s revenue stream includes commission fees, delivery fees, service fees, small order fees, and Deliveroo Plus.
Commission fee
Deliveroo charges a commission from restaurants for orders made through the Deliveroo app. The commission depends upon the location of the restaurant. Deliveroo is said to charge a commission fee of anywhere between 25% and 45%.
