Why your ₹100 meal costs ₹250 online and how Rapido wants to change that | Company Business News
Rapido has launched Ownly, its zero-commission food delivery app, in Hyderabad, after Bengaluru. It targets a pricing gap where a ₹100 restaurant meal can cost ₹250–300 online because of commissions, mark-ups and delivery charges. Restaurants keep offline menu prices and pay no commission, with delivery billed separately. Rapido plans to expand Ownly to all metros next quarter, so compare final bills before ordering.
Key Statutory Highlights
