FAQ
- How does GeraEats restaurant commission compare to Glovo?
- GeraEats charges a flat 15% commission on completed orders. Glovo commissions vary by market but are commonly reported in the 20-30% range on restaurant marketplace orders (per restaurant owner disclosures and European competition-authority filings 2022-2024). For most restaurants in the markets both operate, GeraEats is materially cheaper on unit economics.
- Does GeraEats Prime free delivery actually cost the restaurant more?
- No. Prime free delivery is subsidized by Gera — restaurants see the same 15% commission whether the customer is a Prime member or not. The Prime fee is a meta-subscription paid directly by consumers (£9.99/mo individual, £19.99/mo family). Glovo Prime (where available) works similarly: consumer-paid subscription, no restaurant impact.
- In which countries is GeraEats live?
- UK, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya (roll-out). Glovo is larger with 25+ countries across Europe, Africa, and Central Asia — a clear coverage advantage in Spain, Italy, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Morocco, and Kenya where Glovo is entrenched.
- How does rider / courier pay compare?
- GeraEats pays per-order with a base rate plus distance adjustment, no customer tip deduction. Glovo uses a multi-factor algorithm (distance, time, demand) that has attracted criticism in European regulatory filings for opacity. Rider earnings vary meaningfully by city in both models.
- Can I list on both GeraEats and Glovo?
- Yes. Dual-listing is standard for most mid-size restaurants. GeraEats offers CSV menu-import and POS integrations (Clover, Toast, Lightspeed) to mirror Glovo menus. Both platforms accept stock-sync via the restaurant's POS.
- What about non-food "quick commerce" like Glovo offers?
- Glovo has a pronounced quick-commerce strategy (pharmacies, supermarkets, flowers, couriers) that is central to its 2024-2025 roadmap. GeraEats is currently focused on food delivery; non-food categories are routed to sibling products like GeraMarket (goods) and GeraRide (courier). If your business is primarily non-food quick-commerce, Glovo has a more integrated experience today.
