Custom Food & Delivery SaaS Development

Ujjwal Technolabs builds custom food and delivery software — branded ordering platforms and native apps that let restaurants and chains take orders directly, keep their margins, and own their customer data. Led by founder Deepak Nagar (12+ years full-stack), we apply the same multi-outlet cart, checkout and native-app playbook behind our live SaaS, FlexiCommerce.

The problem: aggregators own your customers and your margins

Delivery aggregators are great for discovery, but they charge 25-30% per order and sit between you and the people who buy from you. You never see the customer's contact details, you can't run your own loyalty or repeat-order campaigns, and every order is a tax on your already-thin food margins. For a busy outlet, that commission is often the difference between profit and break-even.

Owning your own ordering channel doesn't mean leaving aggregators — most restaurants run both. It means having a branded app and web ordering flow where repeat customers, who already know you, can order directly at full margin. The aggregator brings new faces; your own platform keeps them.

What we'd build

A complete direct-ordering platform under your brand, not a generic template:

• Menu management — categories, items, variants, add-ons, availability toggles and pricing your team controls without us.
• Cart and checkout — a fast ordering flow with delivery, pickup and dine-in options, plus integrated online payments.
• Live order status — customers track their order from placed to preparing to out-for-delivery to delivered.
• Kitchen dashboard — incoming orders, prep queue and status updates for staff on the floor.
• Branded customer app — a native mobile app carrying your name, not an aggregator's.
• Multi-outlet support — if you're a chain, manage several locations, route orders to the nearest kitchen, and report across the group.

We scope this around how you actually operate. A single cloud kitchen has different needs from a ten-outlet chain, and we'll tell you honestly which features earn their keep in your first version. See our full services for the wider picture.

The stack

We pick tools the product needs rather than forcing one framework. For a food and delivery platform we'd typically build with:

• Laravel 12 (PHP) — the backend, order engine and admin.
• Vue 3 — the web ordering interface and dashboards.
• Flutter — native customer apps for iOS and Android from one codebase.
• MySQL — reliable transactional data for orders, menus and outlets.
• Payments and notifications — online payment gateways plus push and order-status notifications.

This is the same core stack we run in production today. FlexiCommerce is a multi-tenant e-commerce SaaS we built solo in about 2.5 months — roughly 450,000 lines, Laravel 12 and Filament, Vue 3, three native Flutter apps, around 500 API endpoints, multi-country and multi-language. Cart, checkout, multi-outlet logic and native apps are proven ground for us; food ordering is that playbook applied to your menu.

Scope and honest pricing

A custom food and delivery platform starts from ₹3,50,000. We bill monthly as the product ships — you pay as it's built, not a big upfront lump sum. You own the full code from day one, you can pause anytime, and there's no platform lock-in: this is your software, not a rented seat.

Final cost depends on scope — number of outlets, delivery logistics, loyalty features and which payment providers you need. The fastest way to a real number is a free build plan, where we map your features, stack and timeline. Our pricing page explains the pay-as-it-ships model in full.

Why us

We don't just build SaaS — we run our own, so we know what holds up under real paying customers: payment edge cases, order states that fail gracefully, admin tools non-technical staff can actually use. You work directly with a senior team led by the founder, not a layer of account managers. We're remote-first and work worldwide, with deep production proof in exactly the cart, checkout, multi-outlet and native-app pieces a food platform is made of.

When an aggregator-only approach is better: if you're a brand-new outlet with no repeat base yet, the discovery aggregators provide may matter more than margin, and a custom app can wait. Build your own channel when you have customers worth keeping.
