Bengaluru's Rapido offers cheaper food delivery via zero-commission

Food delivery prices vary significantly based on the platform used, with Rapido offering the lowest prices due to its zero-commission model. A McChicken meal costs Rs 450 on Swiggy, Rs 400 on Zomato, but only Rs 230 on Rapido. Rapido's food delivery service, currently in Bengaluru, leverages its large network of riders and doesn't charge restaurants commissions. This allows for lower prices, as consumers avoid packaging fees and platform charges common on other platforms. This new model benefits both restaurants and consumers, especially as restaurants express dissatisfaction with high fees from established food delivery services like Swiggy and Zomato.
