Orderzy vs Zomato
A founder's honest comparison. If Zomato is the right answer for your restaurant, you will see it on this page.
Zomato, in one paragraph. Orderzy, in another.
First, the product in one line: Orderzy is a complete dine-in system. Guests order by QR at the table, at the counter, or through your staff. That is the product. Everything below is how it is priced or where it fits.
Zomato's engine is delivery. Zomato Dineout exists and works fine, but it is a discovery and reservation layer running alongside a delivery business.
Orderzy's whole product is dine-in. Not a feature on the side. The whole thing.
If most of your orders are delivery, you should be on Zomato. Pay the commission, keep the volume. If most of your meals happen at your tables, Orderzy is built for that, and you keep the order amount.

If you remember three things from this page.
You keep the order amount on Orderzy. On Zomato you give up a commission.
Aggregator commissions in India typically run between 18 and 25 percent per order. On a ₹1,000 order placed through Zomato, the restaurant nets roughly ₹750 to ₹820 before its own food and staff costs. Over a year that adds up to real money.
On Orderzy the diner's order amount flows directly to the restaurant through Cashfree. The platform fee is paid by the diner separately at checkout, and it is small. We make our money from that diner fee, not from a cut of your revenue. Your margin stays your margin.
Your brand stays your brand.
On Zomato the restaurant is one tile in a list of dozens. The visual experience belongs to Zomato. The diner is comparing you against the place next door before they even open your menu.
With Orderzy the diner is physically in your restaurant. The brand experience is the menu you designed, the table you set, the QR card you printed. We do not bury your brand under our logo, and we do not rank you against the restaurant down the lane.
No public rating, no discount treadmill.
On Zomato the restaurant has to keep offering discounts to rank well, and is at the mercy of a public rating that can sink overnight from a single bad week. That is the system working as designed for an aggregator. It is not always the system you want.
Orderzy does not have a public rating system that pits restaurants against each other. The diner has already chosen the restaurant. They are at the table. There is no attention auction to win, no rank to defend, no permanent discount cycle to maintain.

Orderzy vs Zomato: the questions we get.
Is Orderzy an alternative to Zomato for restaurants?
For delivery, no. Zomato is a delivery aggregator with a nationwide fleet. Orderzy has no fleet. For dine-in, yes. Orderzy is built for the meal that happens at your table. Zomato Dineout exists but runs as a discovery layer alongside the delivery business, not as the main product.
Do I still need to be on Zomato if I use Orderzy?
Only if you want the delivery revenue. Many dine-in-first restaurants stay off delivery entirely and grow through their table experience and repeat visits. Orderzy supports that path. If you want delivery orders too, keep Zomato for delivery and use Orderzy for the on-table experience.
How much does Orderzy charge per order?
The restaurant pays Orderzy nothing per order. There is no commission. Diners pay a small platform fee at checkout, sized to the bill. Zomato commissions in India typically run 18 to 25 percent per delivery order, deducted before you receive the money.
Do my diners see the Orderzy brand or my restaurant brand?
They see your restaurant. Your brand name, your menu, your table QR card. Orderzy is the ordering surface, not the identity. On Zomato your restaurant is one tile in a scrollable list.
