Restaurant ordering app Bucharest — complete guide 2026

If you pay thousands monthly to Glovo or Bolt Food, the question isn't whether you need your own restaurant ordering platform in Bucharest — it's how to build it without losing a season and without a pretty demo that fails at Friday peak hour.

Quick ROI math

Monthly Glovo cost = orders/month × average order × commission %

Example: 1,500 × €40 × 25% = €15,000/month (€180k/year). An €18k platform can pay back in ~14 months.
