Kiko Live launches Tabe: India's first food-only buyer app on ONDC for affordable delivery

Kiko Live, a quick commerce firm supporting kirana stores, has launched Tabe, a food-only buyer app on ONDC to replicate the usability and convenience of mainstream food delivery apps. It leverages ONDC’s underlying infrastructure to make food more affordable, transparent, and accessible.

The company said it is India’s first and only buyer-side app on ONDC fully dedicated to food and beverage ordering, unlike existing buyer apps that span across multiple retail categories.

“With Tabe, our goal was simple — bring the affordability and transparency promised by ONDC directly to food lovers, without compromising on the experience they’ve come to expect. By focusing exclusively on food, we’ve simplified discovery, and created a value-first platform that helps both customers and restaurants win,” said Alok Chawla, Co-Founder Kiko.


Brands like McDonald’s, KFC, Subway, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Wow! Momo, FreshMenu, EatFit,, Baskin Robbins, among others are listed on Tabe.

The company was launched in 2020 to help small retailers build, manage, and grow their home delivery businesses. The platform allows small shops to go online and reach a broader customer base without the need for significant investment in technology or infrastructure.

Tabe eliminates category clutter by focusing on food and beverage with lower pricing than traditional platforms. Due to ONDC’s low platform commissions, as low as 3-8% versus as high as 45% elsewhere, restaurants can pass cost savings and ensure combined savings up to 60%. The cost advantage from ONDC is further boosted via in-app launch discounts.
