Over the last few years, India has witnessed an unprecedented boom in online food delivery services. Food aggregators have capitalized on the trend of hyper-localization, giving customers access to a wide variety of cuisines and restaurants at their fingertips.
While these platforms have expanded customer reach, they have also created significant challenges for restaurant businesses. High commission fees continue to erode restaurant margins, and restaurants remain dependent on aggregator platforms that can de-list them at any time, putting their customer base and revenue at risk.
Food aggregators often charge substantial commissions, reducing the profitability of every order restaurants receive through their platforms.
Restaurants rarely get direct access to customer information, making it difficult to build long-term relationships and loyalty.
A restaurant's visibility and business growth can become heavily dependent on aggregator policies, algorithms, and listings.

“Shadowfax is not the conventional delivery platform, and that is how it has been a great fit for our business. The challenge we had was awkward order timings as compared to other usual food merchants. With Shadowfax, it is easy to manage/track orders, train delivery partners on how to handle sweet deliveries & large order which has helped us grow more than 100% year on year from the past 2 years by having 9 delivery-ready stores in Delhi/NCR.”— Rajnish Puri, GM, Om Sweets
