Glovo Alternative
The commission-free Glovo alternative
Stop handing a delivery app up to ~30% of every order. With RestApp you get your own branded site, native apps, EPOS and 0% commission.
The catch with Glovo
A marketplace that owns your customers and takes up to ~30% per order
Glovo (owned by Delivery Hero) is a third-party delivery marketplace, so every order it sends carries a commission of roughly 25-35% when Glovo delivers (around 15% for self-delivery or pickup), and to stay visible against nearby rivals you're nudged toward paid Glovo Ads on a pay-per-click basis. Crucially, the diner is Glovo's customer, not yours, Glovo controls the customer relationship and data, and restaurants receive only the limited details needed to fulfil an order, so you can't freely build loyalty or remarket without paying the platform again. It's a useful discovery channel, but you're effectively renting your own customers rather than owning them.
The cost of Glovo
Glovo charges restaurants no fixed subscription but takes a per-order commission of roughly 25-35% when Glovo handles delivery (commonly cited as up to 30%) and around 15% for self-delivery or pickup, varying by market and category, plus a possible activation fee in some countries and optional pay-per-click Glovo Ads on top.

Questions & Answers
How much commission does Glovo take from restaurants? +
Glovo charges a per-order commission rather than a flat fee. For restaurants it's typically around 25-35% when Glovo provides the delivery (commonly described as up to about 30%), and roughly 15% if you do your own delivery or offer pickup only, the exact rate varies by country, category and your negotiating power. Some markets also charge an activation fee, and visibility add-ons like Glovo Ads cost extra. RestApp charges 0% commission on your orders, so you keep the full order value and pay a simple monthly plan instead.
With Glovo, do I own my customers and their data? +
No. Glovo, which is owned by Delivery Hero, controls the customer relationship and the customer data, diners order inside the Glovo app, where they also see your competitors, and you receive only the limited information needed to fulfil each order. That makes it hard to build loyalty or remarket without paying the platform again. With RestApp, customers order through your own branded website and iOS/Android apps, so you own the customer data and have a direct relationship with every diner.
Does Glovo give my restaurant its own website, apps and a cloud EPOS like RestApp? +
No. On Glovo, customers order under the Glovo brand in the Glovo app, you don't get a branded ordering website or native iOS/Android apps of your own. Glovo also isn't a point-of-sale system; it provides a Manager Portal for accepting orders and integrates with third-party POS providers. RestApp includes your own branded website plus iOS and Android apps, a full cloud EPOS, e-menu/QR table ordering, loyalty, KDS and inventory in one platform.
Do I have to pay extra on Glovo to get seen, and what does RestApp cost? +
Often, yes. Beyond commission, Glovo sells sponsored placements through Glovo Ads (Partner Ads) on a pay-per-click basis to help you rank higher and get visibility in its app, so being seen can become a recurring extra cost. RestApp has no pay-to-rank fees and uses simple monthly plans, and because customers order directly from your own site and apps, you aren't bidding against other restaurants for attention.
Can I switch from Glovo to RestApp and keep taking orders? +
Yes. Many restaurants keep Glovo on as one discovery channel while moving their repeat and direct customers onto RestApp's commission-free branded ordering. Our team helps you set up your menu, website, apps and EPOS, and provides 24/7 support, so you can drive loyal customers to your own 0% channel and stop paying up to ~30% commission on every one of those orders.
