What Delicity does

Delicity operates a commission-free restaurant delivery, Click & Collect, and table reservation platform serving the French market. The company runs a three-sided marketplace connecting independent restaurants (2,500+ partners), independent delivery couriers (10,000+ partners), and end consumers, eliminating the 15-30% commission typically charged by incumbent food delivery platforms and positioning its offering at 2.5x lower cost to restaurant partners.

The product portfolio consists of three interconnected mobile applications: the Delicity consumer app (iOS and Android) for ordering delivery, Click & Collect, and table reservations; Delicity Pro, a restaurant-facing dashboard for managing orders, deliveries, and reservations; and Delicity Livreurs, a dedicated courier application for independent drivers. The platform integrates with payment infrastructure (Stripe, Apple Pay), POS and order management systems (HubRise, Zelty), delivery logistics (Rushour), meal-voucher networks (Edenred), and cloud hosting (OVH). Headquartered in Nice, France and founded in 2020, Delicity has expanded availability across France. CEO Raphaël Pousse leads a team of 1-10 employees.

The business model centers on transaction-based fees replacing traditional restaurant commissions, with pay-as-you-go pricing and undisclosed take rates. Delicity has raised approximately $1.7 million across two disclosed rounds led by Rise Partners (2022) and SideAngels (2024). Distribution relies on organic social media presence (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn), QR-code-driven app downloads, and word-of-mouth among local restaurant communities. The value proposition emphasizes fairer economics for restaurants and couriers, local business support, and affordable pricing for consumers, with restaurant testimonials citing a 25% increase in online sales within three months of onboarding.

Core offering

Delicity operates a commission-free online marketplace that connects independent restaurants with consumers across France for food delivery, Click & Collect, and table reservations. The platform consists of three mobile apps (a consumer app for foodies, Delicity Pro for restaurants, and Delicity Livreurs for independent delivery drivers) and replaces the 15-30% restaurant commissions charged by traditional food delivery platforms with lower transaction/delivery fees.

Product overview

Delicity operates as a commission-free food delivery and restaurant discovery platform connecting consumers with local restaurants. The portfolio consists of three interconnected products: the consumer-facing Delicity mobile app (available on iOS and Android) for ordering food via delivery, click & collect, or table reservations; Delicity Pro, a restaurant partner dashboard for managing orders and operations; and Delicity Livreurs, a dedicated courier app for independent delivery drivers. The platform emphasizes no-commission pricing for restaurants and fair compensation for delivery partners, creating a marketplace that supports local food businesses across France.

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Popchef: French restaurant delivery platform founded with a similar independent-restaurant-friendly positioning. Competes directly for restaurant supply and consumer demand in France, making it a closely comparable regional peer despite its smaller scale.
• Stuart: European on-demand courier and delivery platform headquartered in France. While more focused on same-day package delivery than restaurants, it overlaps in courier logistics infrastructure that could power restaurant delivery, making it an adjacent/partial peer.
• Frichti: French meal delivery and prepared food brand (owned by Gorillas/Mealhero group history) competing in the same French market. While Frichti historically ran its own kitchen model, it has pivoted toward broader marketplace dynamics, making it a partial competitor for both consumer demand and restaurant partnerships in France.

Broad incumbents

• DoorDash: Largest US restaurant delivery platform; while not currently operating in France, it serves as the global reference for the category and the dominant share-taker in adjacent geographies. Highly comparable business model and competitive dynamics inform Delicity's market.
• Deliveroo: Major European restaurant delivery platform with significant presence in France. Operates a similar three-sided model with commission-based restaurant pricing. A direct competitor for both restaurant supply and consumer demand.
• Uber Eats: Global restaurant meal delivery leader and the dominant incumbent in France. Operates a three-sided marketplace (consumers, restaurants, couriers) with a high-commission model that Delicity directly positions against. Most directly comparable in product category but with vastly greater scale and capital.
• Glovo: Multi-category delivery platform (food, groceries, retail) operating across Europe including France, owned by Delivery Hero. Competes in restaurant delivery with similar marketplace mechanics, though with broader category focus than Delicity.
• Just Eat Takeaway: One of the largest restaurant meal delivery platforms globally with established French operations. Competes for the same restaurants and consumers; while its model historically involved lower commissions than Uber Eats/Deliveroo, Delicity's 0% commission positioning is even more aggressive.

Emerging players

• The Fork (Tripadvisor): European leader in online restaurant reservations, owned by Tripadvisor, with strong French market presence. Overlaps with Delicity on the reservations feature of the platform — both target restaurant owners and dining consumers — though The Fork's core product is reservation rather than delivery.
• Nestor: French restaurant delivery startup operating in Paris and select French cities. Competes directly with Delicity for restaurant supply and consumer demand in overlapping geographies, and shares the challenger / no-commission ethos in some marketing.
