Custom built delivery apps for South African restaurants and retail
A custom built delivery app is software made for your brand: customer ordering, driver dispatch and a merchant/admin console, not a slot on Uber Eats or Mr D. doorbell designs and ships that stack in South Africa — WhatsApp commerce, branded iOS/Android/web, Paystack, routing and live tracking — so you own the app and the customer.
Custom vs white-label vs marketplace
- Marketplace (Uber Eats / Mr D): they own the customer; you pay commission.
- White-label: your skin on a shared product; faster, less unique.
- Custom built: your flows, your brand, your data. doorbell does this when a chain, grocery or ghost kitchen needs more than a template.
The homepage is the ops and platform story. This page is the app studio / custom build offer — customer, driver, merchant and admin as one stack.

It is a branded ordering and dispatch system built for one operator: customer app or site, drivers, and admin. doorbell builds that in South Africa and connects WhatsApp, payments and tracking.
How is this different from Uber Eats?
Uber Eats is a marketplace. A custom app is yours. Customers order from you; you keep the data and do not pay a marketplace commission on those orders.
Custom build or white-label?
White-label is a shared product with your branding. Custom is when you need your own UX, stack or operations. doorbell can start from our platform and customise —
Do we get iOS and Android?
