Gurugram
Nextline Creative is a food delivery app development company in Gurugram that builds the full Swiggy or Zomato-style system, not just one screen of it. That means a customer app, a delivery-partner app, a restaurant dashboard and an admin panel that work together, with live GPS tracking, menus, carts, UPI and cash-on-delivery, and order routing. We work from our Gurugram HQ in Delhi NCR, scope every feature in INR before work starts, and app builds begin at Rs 50,000. You own the source code, the store logins and the backend at handover.
A food delivery build is really four products, so we scope it that way. The customer app handles browsing restaurants, menu and catalogue, cart, checkout with UPI, Razorpay or cash-on-delivery, and order tracking. The delivery-partner app manages pickups, navigation and earnings. The restaurant app takes and updates orders. The admin panel ties it together with order routing, commissions and reporting. Before quoting, we map which of these you actually need on day one, because an MVP for one neighbourhood costs very differently from a full multi-restaurant marketplace.
We build the apps cross-platform in React Native or Flutter, so one codebase ships to both Android and iOS and keeps your cost well below two native builds. Live GPS tracking uses map and routing APIs with location updates pushed over sockets, so the customer sees the rider move in real time. Payments run through Razorpay or Cashfree with UPI and cash-on-delivery, and the backend handles order state, driver matching and ratings. We test on real mid-range Android phones on patchy 4G, because that is what most of your users will actually order on.
At handover you own everything: the source code, the backend, the Play Store and App Store listings, and every login. There is no lock-in and no monthly licence to us. Because our HQ is in Gurugram, we can run the kickoff and key reviews in person across Delhi NCR, then deliver remotely with weekly demos and WhatsApp access so you always see progress. This suits cloud-kitchen owners, restaurant chains and founders testing a local delivery idea. If a full marketplace is premature, we will tell you to start with an MVP. See /pricing for the tiers.
App builds at Nextline Creative start at Rs 50,000, but a full food delivery system with customer, delivery-partner and restaurant apps plus an admin panel sits well above that, because it is four products, not one. The honest way to control cost is to start with an MVP for a single area or a few restaurants, then expand. We quote a fixed scope in INR before work begins. See /pricing for how the tiers work.
As a food delivery app development company, we usually steer founders to an MVP first. An MVP is a working first version: a customer app, one or a handful of restaurants, basic ordering and payments, and simple delivery tracking, so you can test real demand without building everything. A full marketplace adds multi-restaurant onboarding, commissions, surge logic, driver fleets and heavier admin. Most founders are better off launching the MVP, proving orders are real, then funding the rest from traction.
Yes. We integrate UPI and cards through Razorpay or Cashfree, and we build cash-on-delivery into the order flow because a large share of Indian food orders still pay on delivery. The delivery-partner app can mark cash collected, and the admin panel reconciles it. We set up each gateway with your own merchant account, so settlements and refunds go directly to you, not through us.
The delivery partner's app shares location continuously once a pickup starts, and those updates stream to the customer app over a live connection, so the map shows the rider moving rather than a fixed status. We use standard map and routing APIs for directions and estimated times. On patchy networks the app degrades gracefully, holding the last known position instead of freezing, which matters on real Indian mobile data.
Yes. The admin panel is built for onboarding, so you can add restaurants, menus, delivery partners and service areas yourself without coming back to us for routine changes. For bigger additions, like a new city or a loyalty programme, we scope a phase two. Because you own the code and backend, you can also bring in another developer later if you ever want to. Contact us to talk through a phased plan.
