MRC Performance
I have been in business for over 10 Years and recently moved to AGR Technology for all our IT needs. They are able to fix nearly anything remotely and always very helpful in recommending appropriate hardware upgrades that do the job as required but not costing more than needed.
Alessio provided an excellent service. He was very dedicated in his method of finding solutions to problems. He continued to try different avenues until he found the reason as to why a particular application was not working. He was very knowledgeable in his understanding of the internet and of applications and how they work, and he was able to apply this knowledge in understanding how to resolve the obstacles that continued to appear. He is understanding towards his client's needs and goals and he is willing to work with his client in achieving those goals. He is a very polite and well mannered person and very calm and gentle in his approach. I would highly recommend Alessio's services to anyone.

Alessio from AGR Technology has recently helped me create a website for my business.
Throughout the whole process from start to finish Alessio made the process easy for me, by calling me and explaining each step of the way. I'm not very computer savvy, but with Alessio taking the time to explain in detail everything I needed to know from putting inventory in to having it shipped. He even remotely joined my computer to help guide me through everything.
He's very knowledgeable and is experienced in everything I needed and if there was anything else I needed to know that wasn't something he was familiar with, he researched it.
I would HIGHLY recommend Alessio to anyone. He has not only helped me for now but I know that if I ever needed help with anything else he would definitely go above and beyond to help. Thank you so much for everything you have done. It's been a long process but well worth it 🙂

Very fast, value for money and a comprehensive service
AGR is professional, organised and very skilled at what they do. They take the initiative, looking after all the details that you would not have thought of to enhance your website presence, marketing funnel and automated appointment bookings.

Why work with us?
What Is a Zomato Clone App and Why Does It Matter?
A Zomato clone app is a pre-engineered food delivery application built to replicate the core functionality of Zomato, real-time ordering, restaurant discovery, delivery tracking, reviews, and payment processing. But “clone” doesn’t mean a carbon copy. It means we use a proven framework as a starting point, then customize it to fit your brand, your market, and your specific business model.
Why does this approach matter? Because building a food delivery app from scratch can take 12–18 months and cost well into six figures. A clone app compresses that timeline significantly while still giving you:
- Full white-label branding, your name, your colors, your identity
- Customizable features tailored to your niche (groceries, meal kits, cloud kitchens, or traditional restaurant delivery)
- Faster time to market, launch in weeks rather than months
- Lower upfront investment compared to ground-up development
For businesses looking to enter the food delivery space, whether you’re a restaurant chain, a startup, or an enterprise expanding into new verticals, a Zomato clone app is the most practical path to a competitive, scalable platform.
Essential Features Every Zomato Clone App Needs
Getting the feature set right is what separates a functional food delivery app from one that actually retains users. We’ve built enough of these to know what matters, and what’s just noise.
Customer App Features
Your end users expect a seamless experience from the moment they open the app. At minimum, your customer-facing app needs:
- Smart search and filters, by cuisine, restaurant, rating, delivery time, and dietary preference
- Real-time order tracking with GPS-enabled delivery updates
- Multiple payment gateways, credit/debit cards, digital wallets, buy-now-pay-later, and cash on delivery
- Ratings and reviews to build trust and drive repeat orders
- Push notifications for order updates, promotions, and personalized recommendations
- Scheduled ordering so customers can plan meals ahead
- In-app chat or support for quick issue resolution
These aren’t optional extras. They’re baseline expectations.
Restaurant and Delivery Partner Panels
The customer app is only one piece. You also need robust dashboards for restaurants and drivers.
Restaurant Panel:
- Menu management (add, edit, toggle availability)
- Order acceptance and preparation tracking
- Revenue reports and analytics
- Promotion and discount tools
Delivery Partner Panel:
- Real-time order assignment with route optimization
- Earnings dashboard and payout history
- Availability toggle and shift scheduling
- In-app navigation integration
We also build a centralized admin panel that gives you full oversight, user management, commission settings, analytics, and content control. This is where you run the business.
How the Zomato Clone App Development Process Works
We keep the process straightforward. No jargon-heavy discovery phases that drag on for months. Here’s how we work at AGR Technology:
- Consultation and scoping, We sit down with you (virtually or in person) to understand your market, your audience, and your goals. This shapes everything that follows.
- UI/UX design, Our designers create wireframes and prototypes that prioritize usability. You’ll see and approve the look and feel before a single line of code is written.
- Development and customization, We build on our proven clone framework, then layer in your custom features, integrations, and branding.
- Testing and QA, Rigorous testing across devices, operating systems, and real-world scenarios. We test payment flows, GPS accuracy, load handling, and edge cases.
- Deployment and launch, We handle app store submissions (Google Play and Apple App Store) and server configuration.
- Post-launch support, Bug fixes, performance monitoring, feature updates, and scaling support as your user base grows.
Most projects move from scoping to launch within 8–14 weeks, depending on the level of customization required.
Technology Stack and Architecture Considerations
The tech behind your food delivery app determines how fast it runs, how well it scales, and how much it costs to maintain. We’re transparent about what we use and why.
Frontend (Mobile):
- React Native or Flutter for cross-platform development, one codebase, two platforms (iOS and Android)
Backend:
- Node.js or Python (Django/FastAPI) for high-performance server-side logic
- RESTful APIs or GraphQL for efficient data handling
Database:
- PostgreSQL or MongoDB, depending on data structure and scalability needs
Real-Time Features:
- Socket.IO or Firebase for live order tracking and push notifications
Cloud Infrastructure:
- AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure for hosting, storage, and CDN
Third-Party Integrations:
- Stripe, PayPal, or local payment providers
- Google Maps or Mapbox for geolocation and routing
- Twilio or Firebase for SMS and notification services
We design with a microservices architecture where possible. This means individual components (ordering, payments, delivery tracking) operate independently. If one service needs updating or scaling, it doesn’t bring down the whole system. It’s the standard for modern food delivery platforms, and it’s what we recommend for any business planning to grow.

Whether you’re a startup entering the food delivery space or an established business expanding your digital offering, we’ve got the experience and the tech stack to make it happen.
