Zride for restaurants, in one paragraph
Zride is a Tamil Nadu platform, built by Asli One Global Private Limited, where restaurants and stores sell through the Zride Vendor app without paying commission. A restaurant pays a one-time ₹499 sign-up (GST included; 50% off ₹999) that covers its first 6 months from approval, then ₹999 a month; if a Zride team member registers it, the first 6 months are free (intro offer). On each online order the only deduction is a 3% online payment & settlement charge, so a ₹300 order pays the restaurant ₹291 the next day. Zride delivery riders can pick up and deliver the food. Customers order on Zfood, in the Zride app on Android, in Tamil Nadu.

Questions restaurant owners ask
Is there a zero-commission food delivery app for restaurants in Tamil Nadu?
Yes — Zride. Restaurants and stores list on Zride through the Zride Vendor app and pay 0% commission on their food. The only charge on an order is a 3% online payment & settlement charge (GST included) on online orders, which covers bank, payment-gateway and payout costs. Customers order on Zfood, Zride's food ordering, in the Zride app on Android.
How much does it cost to list my restaurant on Zride?
A one-time sign-up payment of ₹499 (GST included; 50% off ₹999) covers your first 6 months from approval — or the first 6 months are free if a Zride team member registers your store (intro offer). After that it is ₹999 a month, GST included. If your store is not approved, the sign-up payment is refunded in full. Reach 100 orders in your first 6 months and you get a month free.
What is the 3% online payment & settlement charge? Is it a commission?
No, it is not a commission. It is 3% (GST included) of the food amount on orders paid online, and it pays for the bank, payment-gateway and next-day payout costs of moving the customer's money to your account. It is not charged on the delivery fee, the platform fee or tips. On a ₹300 order paid online you receive ₹291.
Do I have to raise my menu prices on Zride?
That is your choice — you set your own menu prices in the Zride Vendor app. Because Zride takes no commission, you do not need a mark-up to cover one. The customer pays Zride's platform fee (₹10 when the item total is up to ₹250, ₹20 above that, GST included) on top of the bill; it never comes out of your money.
When and how do I get paid?
The next day, straight to your bank account, for orders with no open complaint or dispute. An order under a complaint or dispute is paid once it is resolved. Every payout shows each order and each line.
Who delivers the food?
Zride delivery riders can pick up from your counter and deliver to the customer, so you do not need delivery staff of your own. The customer pays the delivery fee, and it goes to the rider. You can also choose to offer free delivery; the delivery fee then comes from your payout.
Can I add a packing charge?
Yes. You can set your own packing charge, up to ₹50 per order (GST included). It is shown to the customer as your packing charge and paid to you in full.
Can I run offers and discounts?
Yes. Offers are yours to set, and the discount is funded from your own payout. Zride does not run platform-funded discounts that change your prices.
