Food Delivery
Ordering, dispatch and merchant operations in one platform you actually own.
Ready-made delivery software forces your business to fit its assumptions. We build the opposite: a food ordering and delivery platform shaped around how your kitchens actually run, what your margins tolerate, and the markets you want next.
Whether you operate a single restaurant, a national chain, or a multi-restaurant aggregator competing with the incumbents, the technology underneath is the difference between a delivery channel that drains margin and one that compounds it.
What we build for Food Delivery businesses
- Customer ordering apps - Native iOS and Android apps with menu browsing, scheduled ordering, group carts, live tracking and saved payment methods.
- Restaurant and merchant dashboards - Order queues, prep-time controls, menu and inventory management, and payout reporting your operators can run without training.
- Driver and dispatch systems - Batching, route optimisation, proof of delivery and earnings tracking, with dispatch logic tuned to your density and fleet model.
- AI menu and pricing intelligence - Recommendation engines that lift basket size, plus demand-led dynamic pricing and delivery-fee logic.
- Predictive delivery ETAs - Machine-learning arrival estimates that account for kitchen load, traffic and courier position instead of flat averages.
- Admin and commission control - Multi-vendor onboarding, commission structures, promotions, refunds and settlement in one back office.
Why Food Delivery teams choose Prophecius
- Own your customer data - Aggregators keep the relationship. Your own platform keeps the ordering history, the preferences and the repeat-purchase economics.
- Margin you control - Set your own commission and delivery-fee logic instead of absorbing whatever an aggregator charges this quarter.
- Built for your model - Single outlet, chain, cloud kitchen or marketplace - the same platform architecture adapts without a rebuild.
- Scales past launch - Infrastructure designed for peak-hour surges, multi-city rollout and third-party POS and payment integrations from day one.
Food Delivery questions we are asked most
How long does it take to build a food delivery app?
A production-ready customer app, merchant dashboard and driver app typically takes 16 to 24 weeks depending on the payment, POS and dispatch integrations involved. We usually ship a launch-scope release first, then expand - that gets you into market while the longer-tail features are still in build.
Can it integrate with our existing POS and kitchen systems?
Yes. Most deployments connect to an existing POS, KDS or ERP rather than replacing it. We build against documented APIs where they exist and middleware where they do not, so orders land in the same workflow your kitchen already uses.
Do we need our own delivery fleet?
No. The dispatch layer supports in-house couriers, third-party fleet partners, or a hybrid that falls back to an aggregator fleet during peaks. The routing logic is configured to your model rather than assuming one.
