Ownly, Rapido’s standalone food delivery platform, has announced its integration with the Rapido app, making its zero-commission food delivery service accessible to Rapido’s monthly active users through a unified experience.
The integration of its parent brand expands Ownly’s reach while leveraging Rapido’s logistics network to deliver a delivery experience. The ride-hailing user base is nearly twice the size of the online food ordering user base – a gap Ownly sees as an opportunity to bring food delivery to consumers who already trust Rapido for their daily mobility but have not yet used an app to order food.
Customers can now order from Ownly directly within the Rapido app alongside booking bike taxis, autos and cabs, making everyday mobility and food delivery accessible from one platform.
Commenting on the integration, Aravind Sanka, Co-Founder, Rapido and Ownly, said, “Ownly was created to solve one of the biggest structural challenges in food delivery, making the business work better for restaurants without compromising customer experience. Our zero-commission model has shown that restaurants can retain more of every order while customers enjoy honest pricing without hidden platform fees.
“Integrating with the Rapido app is an important step in taking this proposition to millions more users, while staying committed to building a food delivery ecosystem rooted in transparency, fairness and long-term sustainability,” Sanka said.
Since its launch, Ownly has challenged the conventional economics of food delivery by introducing a zero-commission model that enables restaurants to retain more of their earnings while offering customers fair menu prices free from hidden platform charges.
By leveraging Rapido’s existing rider network, Ownly operates with lower logistics costs, making the model sustainable without passing additional costs on to restaurants. This also strengthens the overall ecosystem by improving rider utilisation during off-peak mobility hours.
With Ownly now available on the Rapido app, the company is taking another step towards its vision of making food delivery transparent, affordable and equitable for restaurants and customers alike. New users can download the Ownly app via Rapido and get 50% off, up to ₹100, on their first order.
