KhaoDao

What KhaoDao does

KhaoDao is a Bangladesh-based food ordering marketplace operating from Dhaka, founded in 2019 and serving individual consumers and restaurant partners across three order types: doorstep delivery, takeout, and in-restaurant dine-in. The platform's distinguishing technical component is a QR Code (QRC) dine-in system that lets seated customers scan a code at their table to access menus, place orders, and track status in real time, alongside a separate order-tracking module that surfaces accepting, preparation, pickup, and delivery states. KhaoDao is delivered as a mobile app on Google Play and the App Store plus a responsive web application, and accepts cash on delivery, credit/debit cards via SSLCommerz, and bKash mobile wallet payments. The company operates as a private, bootstrapped entity with 5 employees, holding a Dhaka North City Corporation trade license (TRAD/DNCC/133743/2022), and relies on Graaho as an outsourced development partner.

KhaoDao's business model is a transaction-fee marketplace: it earns commission from restaurant partners on orders routed through the platform, with restaurants setting their own menu prices and KhaoDao generating incremental revenue via promo-code marketing arrangements in which merchants absorb the discount cost. Go-to-market is product-led and self-serve — discovery flows through app store listings, an @khaodaoapp presence on Facebook and YouTube, and a newsletter — with no enterprise sales motion and no disclosed advertising or subscription layer. A reward points loyalty system incentivizes repeat consumer usage, but the company has not raised external funding, has no management team publicly disclosed, and provides no revenue, GMV, or active-restaurant metrics in the public record, leaving scale and unit economics unverified.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Glovo: Glovo is a European and emerging-market food delivery aggregator (owned by Delivery Hero) that pioneered multi-category (food, grocery, pharmacy) on-demand delivery. It is a broad incumbent comparable because of its marketplace-plus-QR-ordering product surface and emerging-market playbook relevant to Bangladesh.
• foodpanda (regional): Already listed as a direct peer in Bangladesh; included here as a regional incumbent reference to Delivery Hero's broader APAC food delivery portfolio (Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Pakistan) for product and unit-economics benchmarking.
• GrabFood: GrabFood is the food delivery vertical of Grab, Southeast Asia's super-app. It is a broad incumbent comparable because of its marketplace model, integration with the super-app's mobile wallet (GrabPay), and loyalty rewards, mirroring KhaoDao's bKash and reward-points approach.
• Zomato: Zomato is an India-headquartered global restaurant aggregator and dining platform (also operating in UAE, etc.). It is a broad incumbent comparable because of its marketplace model, dine-in / table booking features, and loyalty (Zomato Gold) that parallel KhaoDao's delivery-plus-dine-in positioning.
• Swiggy: Swiggy is India's largest food delivery aggregator with a comparable restaurant-marketplace model, real-time order tracking, and loyalty program (Swiggy Super). It is a broad incumbent reference for KhaoDao's product scope, even though it does not operate in Bangladesh.

Emerging players

• Chaldal: Chaldal is Bangladesh's leading online grocery and quick-commerce platform. While its core is grocery rather than restaurant meals, it has expanded into prepared-food delivery and competes for the same mobile-first urban Bangladesh consumer with on-demand logistics.
• Shohoz Food: Shohoz, primarily a ticketing and ride super-app in Bangladesh, has expanded into on-demand food delivery. It overlaps with KhaoDao as a restaurant-aggregator marketplace targeting Bangladesh's urban smartphone users.

Direct peers

• HungryNaki: HungryNaki is a Bangladesh-based food delivery aggregator with restaurant-on-demand delivery and dine-in features. It directly competes with KhaoDao in Dhaka and other cities using a similar restaurant marketplace model.
• Pathao Food: Pathao Food is the food delivery vertical of Pathao, Bangladesh's largest ride-hailing super-app. It is a direct peer because it operates the same restaurant-aggregator marketplace model in the same Bangladesh cities, leveraging Pathao's captive rider fleet.
• Foodpanda: Foodpanda, operated by Delivery Hero, is the dominant food delivery aggregator in Bangladesh. It is a direct peer because it serves the same urban Bangladesh consumer with the same restaurant-on-demand delivery / takeout model and competes for the same restaurant supply and rider network.
