How is this subject not coming up on search? Confused Laughing

I'm pricing up a JustEat style food app, quotes of 25-30k+ are not helpful, forgive me saying this here but it really isn't 25k in work to put together a most basic merchant/marketplace application.

I wasn't blessed with natural patience to be able to learn the technical witchcraft behind applications so I am teetering on the idea of using a Fiverr type freelance solution.

Is there a reason not to?

You're still trying to make money out of delivering stuff. Must be over 10 years you've been at this.

In this instance, are you comparing apples with apples? There's the coding of the app, which is probably a fairly generic solution by now. Then there's the support and reliability element - you want confidence that the app doesn't crash on a saturday evening at 7pm. You would be holding onto a big chunk of money from orders, which you're liable for if the orders aren't delivered.

The app is your business, everything else is secondary. You need to own and understand how it works - or directly employ people who do.

This problem is what university students were made for.

What sort of business is the target? One of my jobs is writing integrations. I've done Deliveroo, UberEats... now working on Deliverect. No one writes their own apps anymore.

Cheapest solution I can think of: £25 per month, if memory serves, gets you what looks like your own personal app with GloriaFood.

It's going to be out of general price tags. It's going to be money, it's going to be ongoing money, and more money when you need to change it to comply with the next money making scheme or marketplace requires.

It's not a venture you should go down.

The other question is: do you even need an app? A well crafted website that looks nice on phones could do the job just as well. App = offline capability - why would you need that for food ordering?

If you have an app then customers will spend more time using it compared to a website, they'll spend more money and they'll come back more frequently.

Do they even need an app is not a real question.

That's a sales pitch not an answer. Shame on you, Ste Wink

Not right now, maybe in 6~12 months. Then it'll be something like £500 up front and ~£80 per month for an "app-style" hybrid Cloud experience.

Laughing Short reply? Yes.

The problem is when I started out, before Deliveroo, Just Eat, Uber joined, nobody knew of the huge inefficiencies that would be created within the on-demand industry.

It has taken me over 5 years to completely reset how the last-mile industry will operate, to work out what's viable and how soon.
I am now ready to put all my research into practice for trial and error.

Since posting this thread I have met a developer who's willing to have his team build an app, launch, support it financially/technically and scale it up to meet demand over 6+ months.
The caveat is he wants 30% of whatever I can grow the business to be. I don't think I have a downside here but I also can't afford to pay for the whole app setup, I am in the middle of moving homes and paying for associated costs, because my landlord is selling the property. Fun times.

Ontop of the move, I have to find suitable premises for a base of operations, utilities.. The current industry model is broken, I can't course correct it without leading by example.

He'll support you for six months in return for 30% of the profits your company goes on to make? He's taking the piss. Laughing

My offer is much more reasonable as it's all ready to go and I don't want any royalties.

Ah fuck it, to stop that developer fucking you over I'll reduce my offer to make it even more reasonable. https://www.trioangle.com/justeat-clone/

There are lots of other such apps available which are significantly better value for money than the 30% Dracula wants.

Yes and No.

He does want a big slice of the pie but he's bringing something to the table that I can't.
Also, he's an hour away on the train, so he's truly contactable unlike Jungleworks, who are based in India, who charmed £3000 out of my bank account a few years ago then did nothing for it, the sales guy actually laughed down the phone at me when I told them I was contacting London Trading Standards (turned out London was simply their PO Box/Tax address).

So aye, it's a struggle having a viable model to compete with but no tangible options to build or launch. Is the link your outfit or an example of availability?

There's the turn of phrase "hiring a load of Indian monkeys" but JungleWorks?! Bit on the nose.

It's nothing to do with me.

There's no shortage of ready to go justeat / deliveroo / ubereats clones for people to buy as it's a popular idea.

I can't see how you could compete with those three as their business model for delivering stuff seems to break every rule in the book.
