Use both, smartly

Your regulars shouldn't cost you commission

Most delivery orders come from people who already know and love your food. Let aggregators find you new guests — then bring your regulars to your own commission-free channel.

  • Keep aggregators for discovery of brand-new customers
  • Move repeat customers direct with your branded website, app and QR menu
  • Reward direct orders with loyalty points and exclusive offers
  • Keep the margin on every order your regulars place

FAQ

Why Zapio Menu — FAQs

Still have a question? Message our UAE team on WhatsApp — we usually reply within minutes.

Why are restaurants switching to Zapio Menu?

Because aggregators take 18–35% of every order, while Zapio Menu charges a flat monthly fee with 0% commission. Restaurants keep all their revenue, own their customer data and build their own brand with a website, app and QR menu.

Is Zapio Menu a Talabat or Deliveroo alternative?

Zapio Menu is your own commission-free ordering channel. Many restaurants use it alongside Talabat, Deliveroo, Noon Food or Careem — keeping aggregators for discovery and moving regular customers to direct ordering.

Will I lose customers if I leave the aggregators?

You don't have to leave. Keep your aggregator listings and encourage loyal customers to order direct with QR inserts in every bag, loyalty rewards and exclusive offers on your own channel.

Can I use Zapio Menu and aggregators at the same time?

Yes, on every plan. There's no commission and no per-order fee on Zapio Menu orders — just a flat daily price.

How much can I save by switching?

At 30 orders a day with a AED 45 average order, a 25–30% commission costs AED 10,125–12,150 a month. Zapio Menu Growth is AED 300 a month. Use the calculator on this page with your own numbers.

How long does it take to get started?

Most restaurants are live within 24–48 hours. Our team sets up your menu, domain and payments and trains your staff.
