Food, retail and supermarkets run as modules on one platform — the same customer accounts, the same dispatch, the same reporting. Here a vertical is configuration, not a rebuild.
A module is a vertical's worth of behavior configured on top of layers every vertical already shares. It is
not a second app, a second tenant or a second deployment.
The distinction decides what expansion costs you. Bolt a second vertical onto a food-only system and you
inherit two merchant onboarding flows, two dispatch systems, two apps for a customer to install and two sets
of numbers that never quite reconcile. Keep the shared layers shared, and the module only has to supply the
part that genuinely differs.

The customer layer
One account, one address book, one saved payment method, one wallet and loyalty balance, one app on the phone. A new vertical shows up as a section of the app your customers already have — not a second download and a second signup.
One onboarding flow, one merchant dashboard, one settlement and payout run — whether the merchant is a restaurant, a corner shop or a supermarket chain.

The reporting layer
One analytics stack reading across verticals, so a customer who orders dinner on Friday and groceries on Sunday shows up as one customer in one report.
Because those four are shared, the marginal cost of a vertical is configuration rather than construction —
which is why "can we add groceries later?" has a boring answer here. The layers themselves are documented
capability by capability on the
platform features page, and the team
that builds and runs them is described on
the about page.
The module catalog
Six Verticals,
One Shared Core
Everything a module adds sits on top of the four shared layers above. What follows is what each one contributes — the catalog, the ordering flow and the merchant tooling that vertical actually needs.

Shared vs vertical-specific
What Carries Over to
Your Next Vertical
The first list is what you stop paying for twice. The second is what each vertical genuinely needs of its own — knowing it up front is what makes a second launch smooth.
Shared by every module
Customer accounts, addresses, saved cards, wallet balance and loyalty points
The app install itself — a vertical is a section of it, never a second download
Dispatch, driver management, live order tracking and customer notifications
Merchant onboarding, the merchant dashboard, payouts and settlement reports
Payments, promotions, vouchers, refunds and dispute handling
Reporting that spans every vertical in a single view
Your per-order price — the rate is the same whether the order is food, retail or grocery
Supplied by the module itself
Catalog structure
A restaurant menu is dozens of items with modifiers. A supermarket is thousands of SKUs with categories, brands and stock levels. One cannot be a relabeled version of the other.
Fulfillment expectations
Food is a 30-minute promise. Groceries are often scheduled — a delivery window rather than a countdown, and recurring orders that matter. Retail sits in between, and pickup weighs more heavily.
Merchant-side tooling
A restaurant works from a kitchen screen and a printer. A supermarket needs picking workflows against live stock. The order pipeline underneath is the same one either way.
Merchandising and discovery
People browse a food marketplace by cuisine, dish and restaurant, and a grocery marketplace by category, brand and past purchases. Search and the home screen need per-vertical treatment.
You can start on any single module and add the others as the business grows. This is the order the additions tend to work in.
01
Switch the module on
No second tenant, no parallel install, no migration. Your customers, merchants, drivers and order history stay exactly where they are, and the new vertical appears beside the one you already run.
02
Shape the catalog
This is the real work of a second vertical, and it is worth doing narrowly: ten well-run stores with clean catalogs beat fifty half-onboarded ones. Catalog quality is the make-or-break variable in grocery and retail.
03
Launch to the customers you already have
An announcement inside an app you already own beats any acquisition campaign. The account, the address and the payment method are already there — which is the single biggest asset the second vertical inherits.
04
Watch the mix, and pay by the order
Shared couriers are an advantage right up until scheduled grocery windows collide with the dinner rush, so monitor cross-vertical load early. Because the platform bills per order, a slow-starting vertical stays a small line item that grows only as it earns.
None of that renegotiates your economics. A second vertical adds order volume to the plan you are already on
rather than a second subscription, and the per-order rate falls at every step up the
plan ladder — so more verticals push your
unit cost down, not up.
Roadmap
What “Upcoming” and “Planned”
Mean Here
Three verticals are live. Three are not, and the labels on them are the whole of what we promise about them.
Ride-HailingUpcoming
Parcel & DeliveryUpcoming
Bookings & AppointmentsPlanned
2 of them are marked “Upcoming” and 1 is marked “Planned”. Those labels are the entire commitment: no ship dates are published for them, no price is
quoted against them, and nothing anywhere on this site counts an unreleased vertical as something you are
buying today. Choose the platform for the 3 modules that are live.
When one does ship, it arrives the way any module does. Existing customers get priority access, the vertical
integrates into the platform you are already running, and there is no rebuild and no data migration — the
shared layers it needs are the ones your marketplace is already using. If a roadmap vertical is the reason you
are evaluating us, say so when you
book the demo and we will tell you where
it actually stands rather than where we would like it to be.
