What Zomato and Swiggy take, down to a single order.

Most restaurants in India report a Zomato commission of roughly 18% to 30% of the order value, with 22–25% the most common range. The exact rate is set in your partner contract and varies by city, cuisine, order volume and delivery model. 18% GST is charged on top of the commission, and a payment collection fee of around 2% is deducted on each order.

Swiggy's commission for restaurants typically sits between about 18% and 28% of the order value, depending on the city, cuisine and plan. Like Zomato, Swiggy adds 18% GST on the commission and deducts a collection fee of about 2% per order, so the effective cost of an order is usually 25–35% of its value.

GST at 18% is charged on the commission amount, not on the order value. On a ₹400 order at 25% commission, the commission is ₹100 and the GST on it is ₹18, so ₹118 goes to the platform before the collection fee. The calculator above adds this line automatically.

Cloud kitchens usually pay rates at the higher end of the range because every order comes through an aggregator and they cannot move dine-in customers to a direct channel. The maths is the same, so enter your own contract rate in the commission field to see your payout.

Keep the aggregators for discovery, and move your repeat customers to your own ordering link. Every regular who orders directly costs you only your payment gateway's fee (or nothing, for cash), instead of commission plus GST plus a collection fee. Put your link on your Google Business Profile, Instagram bio, WhatsApp and table QR codes, and give a small direct-order offer so regulars have a reason to switch.

No. Menuthere takes 0% commission on every plan, whether the order comes from your ordering website, a table QR code or WhatsApp, and you can start free. If a customer pays online, your payment gateway's standard fee applies; cash and pay-at-counter orders cost nothing.
