Zomato Alternative for Restaurants — Direct Ordering with Yumzip
Marketplaces bring customers to their own apps. Yumzip gives your restaurant its own ordering website and dashboard, so you can take direct orders from your own customers and keep the relationship with them.
Marketplace ordering vs. your own ordering website
A structural comparison of the two models. Marketplace terms differ and change, so check each marketplace’s current terms.
| Topic | Typical marketplace model | Yumzip direct ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Where customers order | Inside the marketplace’s app or website. | On your own branded ordering website, on a Yumzip subdomain or your own domain. |
| Pricing model | Set by each marketplace, usually involving per-order charges. Check their current terms. | A Yumzip plan. No commission on orders placed through your storefront; payment gateway fees are separate. |
| Customer relationship | Governed by the marketplace’s terms. | Orders and customers from your storefront are in your own dashboard. |
| Brand presentation | Listed alongside other restaurants. | Your own branded page and menu. |
| New customer discovery | The marketplace promotes restaurants on its platform. | You bring your own customers with your link and QR codes. Yumzip is not a marketplace. |

Does Yumzip charge commission?
Yumzip does not charge commission on orders placed through your Yumzip storefront. You pay for your Yumzip plan, and any fees charged by the payment gateway you connect are separate.
Can I keep using Zomato or Swiggy?
Yes. Yumzip does not require you to leave any marketplace. It adds a direct ordering channel that you own.
Will Yumzip send me new customers like a marketplace does?
