GeraEats vs Glovo
GeraEats plans a flat 15% restaurant commission and free delivery for Prime members at launch, and is in pre-launch in the United Kingdom — not live in any of its 8 planned markets. Glovo runs 25+ countries with a deeper quick-commerce catalogue and a commission typically reported in the 20-30% range. For most restaurants GeraEats is cheaper on unit economics; Glovo wins on country reach and non-food quick-commerce. Dual-listing is standard.

Pick GeraEats if
- Your restaurant is cost-sensitive and the planned 15% vs 25-30% would move net margin at launch.
- You already have (or want to sell) Gera Prime memberships to your customers — Prime delivery benefits on GeraEats are planned for launch, not live today.
- You plan to operate in Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Nigeria, Ghana or Uganda — GeraEats planned launch markets (it is in pre-launch in the UK only and has no ground ops today).
- You want AI-agent discoverability of your menu through ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini at launch (planned, not live).
Pick Glovo if
- You need coverage in Spain, Italy, Eastern Europe, Morocco, or Kazakhstan where Glovo is market leader.
- Non-food quick-commerce (pharmacy, grocery, flowers, couriers) is central to your revenue mix.
- You value being on the platform with the largest local order volume, even at higher commission.
FAQ
- How does GeraEats restaurant commission compare to Glovo?
- GeraEats plans a flat 15% commission on completed orders at launch — it is in pre-launch and takes no orders or commission today. 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). In the markets both plan to operate, GeraEats would be materially cheaper on unit economics.
- Does GeraEats Prime free delivery actually cost the restaurant more?
- Prime free delivery on GeraEats is a planned launch feature — no delivery is free or discounted today because GeraEats delivers nothing yet. In the planned design, Gera subsidizes it, restaurants see the same planned 15% commission whether the customer is a Prime member or not, and 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?
- GeraEats is in pre-launch in the United Kingdom and is live in no country today — Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda and Kenya are only planned future launch markets. 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 has no riders today; the planned launch model is per-order with a base rate plus distance adjustment and 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 wherever delivery is live.
- Can I list on both GeraEats and Glovo?
- Glovo dual-listing is live today, but no restaurant can list on GeraEats yet — it is in pre-launch with no live onboarding. At launch, GeraEats plans CSV menu-import and POS integrations (Clover, Toast, Lightspeed) to mirror Glovo menus.
- 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 plans to focus on food delivery at launch; non-food quick-commerce is the planned territory of separate Gera products that are themselves paused. If your business is primarily non-food quick-commerce, Glovo has a more integrated experience today.
