Waayu, India’s first 0% commission food delivery platform, has officially expanded its operations to Chennai - a city currently at the forefront of a major shift in the food delivery ecosystem. As Chennai’s restaurant community voices its protest against the unsustainable commission models of traditional delivery platforms, Waayu’s entry offers a timely, tech-driven, and sustainable alternative.
Already operational in five major cities, Waayu’s arrival in Chennai is a strategic decision aimed at addressing the growing demand for commission-free delivery solutions. The brand empowers restaurants through a subscription-based model with a one-time setup cost and no per-order commission - enabling restaurants to retain a larger share of their earnings and serve their customers more efficiently.
“Chennai’s restaurant industry is actively pushing back against delivery aggregators charging exorbitant commissions,” said Mandar Lande, Co-Founder & CEO of Waayu. “Our entry into this market is not just timely, it’s essential. We’re here to offer restaurants the tools and delivery infrastructure they need to grow, without losing their margins to third-party platforms. Our technology and transparent pricing model put control back into the hands of restaurant owners.”
N.Rubinath, Restaurant Partner from Chennai, said, "The conversation in Chennai isn’t just about saving costs - it’s about reclaiming autonomy. For years, we've watched customer data, brand equity, and hard-earned profits get redirected through aggregators. Waayu’s arrival is not just a solution - it's a signal that restaurants can now operate on their own terms, with the tech muscle to match."
Waayu currently powers deliveries for over 5,000 restaurants and has ambitious plans to grow this number to 100,000 by the end of 2025. With the Chennai launch, Waayu reinforces its mission to build a delivery model that works for restaurants - not against them.
