Zride delivery riders, in one paragraph

Zride delivery riders pick up food and groceries from local stores and deliver them to customers, using the Zride Partner app. The rider keeps the whole delivery fee — ₹25 for the first 3 km, then ₹8 a km — plus 100% of tips, paid to their bank account the next day. Riders on a bicycle or a low-speed e-scooter can join without a driving licence and get nearby food orders. Zfood, Zride's food ordering, is open in Tamil Nadu.

Delivery rider questions

How much does a Zride delivery rider earn per order?

The whole delivery fee: ₹25 for the first 3 km, then ₹8 for each km after that — a 5 km delivery pays ₹41 — plus 100% of any tip. Zride takes no cut. Your earnings are paid to your bank account the next day.

Can I deliver food without a driving licence?

Yes, on a bicycle or a low-speed electric scooter (top speed 25 km/h or less, motor 250 W or less, no number plate) — the vehicles that need no licence. These riders get food orders only, from stores within 3 km, to customers within 5 km of the store. A petrol bike or a faster scooter needs a driving licence.

Can I carry two orders at once?

Sometimes. If you are already heading to a store and a second customer near the first orders from the same store, Zride may offer you that order too. You are paid both delivery fees.

Which documents do I need?

Aadhaar or PAN, a selfie and a bank account for payouts. Motorbike and scooter riders also need a driving licence; delivery bikes need no RC or permit.

Can I start delivering now?

In Tamil Nadu, yes: Zfood, Zride's food ordering, is open there. Sign up in the Zride Partner app and you can take delivery orders once your documents are checked. Delivery sign-up for other states opens state by state.

What does Zride charge delivery riders?

Nothing until 31 December 2026. Any fee after that is shown in the Partner app before you finish sign-up.

Do I get cash for referring a restaurant to Zride?

Yes — ₹250 for every restaurant you refer. No limit on how many. The ₹250 is paid once the restaurant you refer is approved and pays its Zride sign-up — or, if it joined free, its first paid month. Zride Partner drivers are paid to their UPI ID. Stores that refer a store get 7 free service days instead of cash.
