The Problem

Food-delivery shoppers see attractive menu prices or promotions but discover substantial markups, delivery fees, packaging charges, and platform fees only after assembling an order. Comparing alternatives currently requires rebuilding the same basket across several services, and promotional labels can obscure whether an offer is genuinely cheaper.

Potential Solution

Build a comparison product that takes a restaurant, delivery address, and basket, then shows the estimated payable total across supported delivery services and the restaurant's direct channel. Begin with a tightly scoped city and manual verification of popular restaurants, combining menu collection with checkout screenshots submitted by paid testers or users. Display item markups, mandatory fees, promotion conditions, and confidence timestamps separately.

Why Now?

The same complaint appears across multiple delivery brands and countries, indicating a category-wide pricing-transparency problem rather than one product defect. Increasingly layered fees and platform-specific promotions make the value of an independent comparison more visible.
