Tech Stack

Key Challenges We Handle

Inventory sync

Real-time stock counts require either manual admin updates or POS integration. Start manual, automate in v2.

Delivery logistics

Slot-based delivery is simpler than on-demand driver dispatch. MVP uses fixed delivery windows.

Unit economics

Grocery margins are thin — validate demand in one zip code before building multi-store infrastructure.

Cost Breakdown

Rough estimates per feature. Our fixed-price MVP bundles all of these — see the full Grocery Delivery App cost guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a grocery delivery app cost?

Single-store MVP with catalog and scheduled delivery: $5,800–$12,000. Multi-store with driver dispatch: $25K–$55K.

Instacart vs building your own?

Instacart charges 15–30% commission. Own app makes sense at $50K+ monthly GMV or for niche/local grocery brands.
