India’s first zero-commission food delivery app, is now live on the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) as a seller marketplace. This significant milestone heralds a new era in the food delivery industry, offering unparalleled benefits to restaurants and consumers by mitigating the commission factor and creating a seamless channel between restaurants and consumers.
Since its launch in May 2023, WAAYU has onboarded over 3,000 restaurants across major Indian cities, including Mumbai, Pune, Jaipur, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. After going live on ONDC, WAAYU has also been strategically working with two prominent buyer apps on the network – TATA Neu and OLA, making it a channel to generate higher order volumes. This association will give a significant boost to all restaurant partners by providing a steady stream of orders and enhance customer experience with zero commission on delivery.
