1. McD doesn’t pay 37% commission to Z/S - It’s probably 20% which means the restaurant gets to keep the additional 66 Rs - (some of it is being spent on discretionary ads on Z/S - but are you telling me rapido won’t charge for ads?) 2. Restaurant decides packaging cost and keeps it - so 29 is direct loss of revenue. And McD will package it - so their costs will increase on Rapido or they will have to add it on Rapido as well 3. Platform fee - Fair point 4. Delivery cost - Will probably settle around 30 Rs, so midway between Z and R. F*** swiggy! 5. GST - Why the f*** is Rapido charging 40% GST (10/25) - because it is artificially lowering delivery cost right now - It’s listing it at 55 Rs (18% is 10) and charging 25 | Or, or - It is paying 4.5 and keeping 5.5 with itself as platform fee (FML, Zepto tu wapas idhar)
