Zride for Chennai restaurants, in one paragraph
Zride is a Tamil Nadu food ordering and ride app, built by Asli One Global Private Limited, where restaurants in Chennai sell through the Zride Vendor app without paying commission. A restaurant pays a one-time ₹499 sign-up (50% off ₹999; free for the first 6 months if a Zride team member registers it), then ₹999 a month, and a 3% online payment & settlement charge on online orders. A Zride delivery rider collects each order, and the restaurant is paid the next day.
Chennai is where Zride launched, and Zfood — Zride's food ordering — is open in the pilot neighbourhoods the site names: T. Nagar, Velachery, Adyar, Chromepet and Tambaram. Restaurants, messes, cafés and bakeries anywhere in Chennai can sign up now.
- Customers order in the Zride app on Android; a Zride delivery rider collects from your counter, so you need no delivery staff.
- Because delivery is priced by distance, a nearby customer pays a small delivery fee — up to 3 km costs the customer ₹25.
- A Zride team member can register your restaurant for you, with the first 6 months free; ask on WhatsApp whether a visit is possible in your area.

|---|---|
| 2 km | ₹25 |
| 3 km | ₹25 |

₹25 up to 3 km, then ₹8 a km. The customer also pays Zride's platform fee (₹10 up to a ₹250 item total, ₹20 above). Neither comes out of your money.

Questions from Chennai restaurant owners
Is there a zero-commission food delivery app for restaurants in Chennai?
Yes — Zride. Restaurants in Chennai list on Zride through the Zride Vendor app and pay 0% commission on their food; the only deduction is a 3% online payment & settlement charge (GST included) on online orders. Customers order on Zfood, in the Zride app on Android.
How do I list my restaurant on Zride in Chennai?
Download the Zride Vendor app from Google Play and sign up with your mobile number, store name, address and location, and your bank account or UPI ID. Signing up yourself costs ₹499 (50% off ₹999) and covers your first 6 months; if a Zride team member registers your store, the first 6 months are free. If your store is not approved, the sign-up payment is refunded in full.
Who delivers the food in Chennai, and what does delivery cost?
A Zride delivery rider collects the order from your counter. The customer pays the delivery fee — ₹25 up to 3 km, then ₹8 for each km after (₹41 for 5 km) — and the whole fee goes to the rider. It never comes out of your payout unless you choose to offer free delivery.
