If you run a restaurant, karyana store or pharmacy in Pakistan, the platform you list on decides how much of every order you keep. Commission rates in this market range from under 10% to well over 30%, and payout cycles range from weekly to monthly. Here is an honest look at the landscape in 2026 and where each option fits.

1. Delivero.pk — a multi-category marketplace covering restaurants, pharmacies, grocery and retail stores in one storefront. Free to register; commission is shown before you go live. Best for vendors who sell more than just food, and for anyone who wants their own SEO-indexed product pages rather than a listing buried in an app.

2. Foodpanda — the largest food-only player with the biggest customer base in major cities. Strong demand, but commissions sit at the high end and the restaurant has little control over customer data or discounting. Best for high-volume fast food in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

3. Cheetay — Lahore-focused with a loyal base and grocery coverage. 4. Airlift-style quick commerce apps — fast but inventory-heavy and typically stock their own goods rather than listing yours. 5. Krave Mart and similar dark-store models — they buy from you wholesale instead of listing you, which suits suppliers more than retailers.

6. Daraz — unmatched reach for packaged and non-perishable goods, but not built for hot food or same-day local delivery. 7. Facebook and Instagram shops — free to start and good for discovery, but you handle every order, every message and every rider yourself. 8. WhatsApp Business — excellent for repeat customers, useless for finding new ones.

9. Your own website — full control and zero commission, but you pay for the site, the hosting, the payment gateway, the SEO and the riders. Most small vendors underestimate this. 10. Local aggregator groups — cheap, informal, and impossible to scale.

The practical answer for most Pakistani vendors is to be on more than one. Use a marketplace for discovery and new customers, and WhatsApp for repeat orders. If you want product pages that rank on Google under your own brand name, list on Delivero.pk — registration is free at delivero.pk/sign-up and approval usually takes under 24 hours.
