We are currently working with a few delivery platforms to get affiliate fee. Just to give you some numbers, delivery platforms typically get ~20% of the order value and ~15% of the courier fees. At the beginning, we expect to only get a tiny percentage of their net revenue, but we anticipate us getting more negotiating power over time. Totally agree with your point that users might not like it if we a series of dishes or restaurants disappear.
What’s the end game though? How would you deal with one or more of these companies refusing to give you an affiliate / referral fee?
I ask because something like this has value in aggregate but once you achieve some level of traction it’s user hostile to have a series of dishes or restaurants “disappear”.
