How Much Does It Cost To Build A Food Delivery App Like UberEats, Zomato, In UAE/DUBAI?

Smartphones have changed our lives so dramatically that we no longer need to consider the smartphone as a luxury. The reason is definitely simple. We accomplish so many things so easily and comfortably through our smartphones that our lives look incomplete without one. For example, preparing food runs every evening after our jobs for a good dinner.

Now we are rushing for food here in the USA. Most of the time food comes to us through an on-demand food delivery app such as Uber Eats, Seamless, GrubHub and DoorDash. If you are a restaurant, the on-demand food delivery app is a must for your business.

Excellent statistics

  • Revenues for the 2020 online food delivery segment will reach US $ 19,558 million by the end of this year.
  • Revenues show an annual growth rate of 7.3% (CAGR 2019–2023). It will have a market volume of US $ 24,345 million by the end of 2023.

  • China is expected to generate $ 42,451 million in revenue in 2020.
  • China is the top producer of income worldwide.
  • These statistics prove that if you own or run a restaurant or fast food joint, there must be an on-demand food delivery app for your business.

Whenever the question of cost estimation comes up, the example of building a house is always on my mind. Think about building your dream home.

You only have a dream and a budget. First thing first, do you want to build a home on some land from scratch, or buy a ready-made flat that you can move immediately? Then you have to decide the size of the house or the size of the flat and it depends on the number of people who live there.

You have to decide if it has two bedrooms or three. Will it have a guest bedroom, dormitory, patio, and suitcase? Or does it look like a studio-flat? What amenities and furniture would you like to include?

There will be an infinite number of questions and “it depends” on your budget and your needs. The same applies to The development of mobile applications. You should answer any questions before getting a quote for mobile app development.

Factors that decide

The cost of mobile app development depends on the factor.

  • Platform choice
  • Features you need to have
  • Additional features

There should be features of an on-demand food delivery app

Any mobile app has many features. These are not necessarily qualities to possess. It is an on-demand food delivery app so it should have the following features:

  • Social Login and Profile
  • Easy & intuitive user interface
  • Advanced search feature for menu, recipes, food joints and restaurants
  • Personalized deals, promotions, and recommendations
  • Favorite recipes, menus, food joints, and restaurants
  • Real-time order tracking
  • One-Click Ordering
  • Easy order scheduling
  • Easy payment options in the app
  • Push notifications
  • Ratings & Opinions

These features help customers find the food they want and often encourage them to order. The on-demand food delivery app requires a web-based admin panel and a delivery app and restaurant app with customers ordering website.

Additional features

Just like your home, you can add as many additional features as you want. You can add features like,

  • Chat, Audio Call and Video Call in the app using Internet connections
  • Coupons and Reward System
  • Referral program
  • Discovery of nearby restaurants on maps
  • Consumer social interaction
  • Social sharing
  • Follow friends, food joints and groups
  • Groups and Forums
  • Cash On Delivery Payment System
  • Chatbots for quick customer service
  • Emails & SMS campaigns for business owners

Remember to spend as much as you want. And value is always more important than price.

Platform option

Platform selection is also crucial in terms of cost estimation. First of all, you need to decide if your on-demand food delivery app is available exclusively on smartphones, or a web-based online food ordering system. For the mobile component, you need to decide which platform or platforms you want your mobile app to launch. iOS and Android are both mobile operating systems. You should choose an expert iOS development company for iOS and an experienced Android development company for Android.

On the other hand, if you want to launch your on-demand food delivery app on both platforms, you have two options again. Again, you can go for native mobile app development or cross-platform mobile app development. For cross-platform mobile app development, you can hire Flutter app developers and you can also hire React-native app developers.

The position of the mobile app development company

Once you have answered a series of questions, an experienced mobile app development company can quote you. Again, this depends on where the mobile app development company is located. Mobile app development companies are all over the world. They charge you with respect to the availability of resources and local law. Their average rates per hour.

  • $ 10 to $ 90 per hour for companies in India.
  • Off-shore mobile app development companies always value money because they have a wide availability of resources and the law also supports them.
