On-Demand Apps
RafayLabs is the independent studio of Abdul Rafay. I build on-demand apps like Foodpanda, Uber and home-service marketplaces: a customer app, an app for riders or service providers, and an admin panel, all connected in real time. You work directly with me, the developer who builds it.
An on-demand app is really several apps that talk to each other in real time. This is what I build for each side.
Browse, order or book, pay, track the order live and rate the service, on iOS and Android.
New jobs arrive instantly, with accept, navigate and complete steps and the route on Google Maps.
A web dashboard to manage orders, providers, pricing and payouts, and to step in when something goes wrong.
Order status, rider location and notifications update live through sockets and push notifications.
Stripe, PayPal or M-Pesa, plus cash on delivery recorded against the rider who collected it.
GharTak runs in Urdu and English, with orders by voice note or photo for shops without a product list.
A 15-minute call about who orders, who delivers and how money moves, then a written scope and fixed quote.
Within two weeks you can install the customer app and place a test order or booking.
The rider or provider app, the admin panel, payments and live tracking, tested end to end.
Release on the App Store and Google Play under your business name, then support after launch.
GharTak is my own on-demand delivery marketplace. GlanzGo is an on-demand beauty services marketplace I built as a Software Engineer at Mercury Sols, and Spirit Agro Hub is freelance client work.

RafayLabs is my independent studio rather than an agency. I build the full on-demand app, from the customer app and provider app to the admin panel, payments and store release, and you work directly with me instead of through an account manager.
Yes. The core is the same: customers request something, a nearby rider or provider accepts it, and everyone sees the status live. GharTak and GlanzGo are both built this way. My guide on building a delivery app like Foodpanda walks through the parts.
A marketplace with customer, provider and admin sides usually costs US$4,000 to US$6,000 at RafayLabs and takes 8 to 12 weeks. A smaller first version with fewer features costs less. You get a fixed written quote before any work starts.
Usually yes, or one app with two modes. Customers and providers need very different screens, so separate apps are simpler for both and easier to review in the app stores.
Yes. Cash orders are recorded against the rider or provider who collected the money, so you can settle with them at the end of the day.
Yes. The code, the app store listings and the servers are in your name, and you can take the project to any developer later.
