Everything a delivery app gives you. Without the cut.
Discovery, a real order inbox, a handoff link for your own rider, a storefront with your name on it. Zolo does the ordering; you do the food, the delivery and the collecting, and you keep the customer.
Keep the whole order
Never a percentage of your sales. Zolo is a flat AED 149 a month once it has earned it: free until your first 100 delivered orders or six months, whichever comes first.
Your rider, one link
Accept an order, forward one handoff link over WhatsApp: map, navigate, call, mark delivered. No rider app, no login, no fleet between you and the door.
Customers stay yours
Your storefront, your QR on the counter and on every table, your repeat orders. You collect at the door and keep the relationship. Zolo just gets out of the way.
A menu the customer can trust
Your counter prices, your photos, sold-out toggles, cut presets for fish and meat, and a scheduled-availability switch for breakfast items. Menu photos become a draft in minutes.
Order from your street. Pay the counter price.
On a commission app the same basket costs more twice: a marked-up menu, then fees on top. On Zolo the menu is the counter price, there are no fees, and the shop’s own rider brings it.
The menu is the price
What the counter charges is what you pay: no markups, no service fee. Cash or card to the rider at your door; Zolo never touches your money.
Brought by the shop
Your order arrives with the shop’s own rider, someone who knows your building, not whoever a fleet had spare. Status in honest words, from “sent” to “delivered”.
The whole corner, one app
Restaurants, meat and fish by weight, the week’s hypermarket leaflets, mess kitchens and the table you are sitting at. Everything nearby, in English and Arabic.
More than delivery. The whole neighbourhood, honestly.
Every feature follows the same rule: informative, never a promise. Delivery times are what we have observed, an order is “sent” until a person accepts it, and prices sent over WhatsApp are marked indicative.
Dine-in, from the table
Scan the Zolo card on your table, order from your phone and your plate goes straight to the kitchen. No login, no waiter chase, pay at the table as usual.
Deals, all in one place
This week’s hypermarket leaflets, searchable across stores. Shop offers set by the kitchen. And Zolo vouchers that Zolo funds, never the shop.
Veg, marked properly
A veg filter across every nearby menu, and veg / non-veg marks on each dish, set by the kitchen that cooks it.
Schedule an order
Pick a slot from 30 minutes to three days ahead, inside the kitchen’s own hours. It is sent now, the kitchen accepts it like any order and starts it for your slot.
Fresh Market by weight
Meat, fish and poultry from the counters you already trust. Choose the cut, order by the kilo, and the shop confirms the exact total after weighing, before it leaves.
Monthly meal plans
Subscribe to a mess kitchen for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Skip before the cut-off and the day moves to the end of your plan, on a ledger you both see.
Savings on every single order.
On a commission app the same basket costs more twice: a marked-up menu, then fees on top. Slide your habits in; the difference is yours to keep.
An illustration: we assume a 25% menu markup and an AED 3 service fee on a commission app. Your own receipts will differ. On Zolo there is nothing to add, so there is nothing to assume.

On a commission app, the platform’s share comes out of the shop’s side first: commission, payment processing, promotions, fixed fees. Roughly a third of what you pay never reaches the kitchen. On Zolo, it all does.
Illustrative figures, not any one platform’s terms: commission and fees vary by platform and contract. Zolo’s entire model is a flat AED 149 a month per shop, free until it has earned it. The full accounting is in the notes below.
Skip a day. The calendar owes you one.
Subscribe to a mess kitchen for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Travelling on Thursday? Skip before the cut-off and the day quietly moves to the end of your plan, on a ledger you and the kitchen both see, so nobody argues over WhatsApp.
