ONDC vs Zomato/Swiggy Calculator

Restaurant associations are fighting 18-25% aggregator commissions at the CCI; ONDC-network apps run closer to 10-11% and hand back the customer data. The argument settles fastest with your own numbers: enter your average order and both commission stacks, and this calculator shows the per-order gap and what it compounds to in a month, which is usually the moment ONDC listing moves up the to-do list.

Revenue & Front Office — ONDC vs Zomato/Swiggy Calculator
In short

On a typical ₹400 order, an aggregator at 22% commission plus 18% GST on that commission takes about ₹104, while an ONDC-network app at 10% takes about ₹47, roughly ₹57 more reaches you per order, or ₹51,000+ a month at 30 orders a day.

Net per order = AOV − commission − 18% GST on the commission − per-order costs you fund. The monthly gap multiplies the per-order difference by your delivery volume. ONDC listings run through buyer apps (Paytm, Magicpin and other ONDC-integrated apps) via a seller-side partner.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the commission gap this large?

Aggregators charge 18-25% (plus GST on that commission, plus ads and funded discounts) because they own discovery and delivery. ONDC unbundles the network: commissions commonly land at 8-12%, and the customer relationship comes back to you. The NRAI's public fight with the platforms is precisely about this spread.

What is the catch with ONDC?

Order volume, today. Aggregators still own the app-open habit; most restaurants treat ONDC as a growing second channel, not a replacement. The practical play: stay on aggregators for discovery, push repeat customers to ONDC or direct ordering where the margin is, and let the mix shift.

How does a restaurant actually get onto ONDC?

Through a seller network participant, several POS providers and platforms (including Paytm and Magicpin seller onboarding) list restaurants onto the network. Onboarding needs your FSSAI license, GST and menu, similar to aggregator onboarding, minus the exclusivity pressure.
