Glovo Alternative for Restaurants in Latin America
Restaurant owners across Latin America are rethinking their delivery partnerships. With commission fees ranging from 15-30% and platform exclusivity requirements, many are searching for Glovo alternatives that offer better economics and more control.
If you're operating in Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, or other LatAm markets, this guide compares the top options for restaurant delivery aggregation, including how Klikit stacks up against Glovo and other regional platforms.
Why Restaurants Are Looking for Glovo Alternatives
Glovo has grown significantly across Latin America, but restaurant owners increasingly report frustrations with:
- High commission rates — Glovo charges 15-30% per order, eating into already thin margins
- Exclusive partnerships — Some markets require exclusivity, limiting your ability to list on multiple platforms
- Limited analytics — Basic reporting that doesn't integrate with your POS
- Platform fees — Additional charges for advertising, featured listings, and premium placement
- Payment delays — Settlement terms that can strain cash flow

What Restaurants in Latin America Are Saying
Based on reviews and restaurant owner feedback across Colombia and Mexico:
Glovo Pain Points:
- "The 25% commission on orders really adds up. For a restaurant making $10K/month in delivery, that's $2,500 gone."
- "We couldn't list on Uber Eats at the same time because of their exclusivity clause."
- "The app is great for customers but we get almost no data about who's ordering or their preferences."
Klikit Advantages:
- "Managing Grab, Foodpanda, and Gojek from one tablet changed how we operate."
- "The 2% commission on payments is a fraction of what we were paying before."
- "We can see all our orders in one place and even predict what to stock based on historical data."
Other Glovo Alternatives to Consider
1. Uber Eats
Strong presence in Mexico City, Bogota, and São Paulo. Higher brand recognition but similar commission structure to Glovo (15-30%).
2. Rappi (Colombia)
Colombia-born super app with strong local presence. Similar commission structure but offers additional services like quick commerce.
3. Delivery Hero Platforms
Parent company of Foodpanda in Asia, now expanding LatAm operations. Commission rates vary by market.
4. Domino's (Pizza-focused)
If you specialize in pizza, Domino's delivery network can be an alternative with potentially better economics.

Conclusion
While Glovo has made food delivery accessible across Latin America, the economics don't always work for restaurant owners. With commission rates eating 15-30% of each order and potential exclusivity requirements, exploring alternatives like Klikit makes financial sense.
Klikit's order aggregation model lets you list on multiple platforms with lower commissions, better analytics, and zero exclusivity — giving you the flexibility to optimize for your specific business.
