What is the right business model for your on-demand taxi app business?
In recent years, the aggregator business model has shown to be the most appropriate and profitable.
An aggregator business model is creating an online marketplace that connects the service providers and the end-users under one roof.
In this case, the riders and the drivers are connected to the on-demand taxi platform.
The rider can book their rides from the given category managed by the admin of the on-demand platform (which is you!) and the driver can accept the ride request and carry on with the ride.
Managing the riders and the drivers, providing offers through promo codes, and other managerial-related activities are performed by the admin of the on-demand platform.
“But can I monetize this business model?” - is the next question any entrepreneur would ask. Read further to uncover the revenue model!
3 Reasons why you should use a commission-based revenue model for your taxi business:
The commission-based revenue model is one the most complementing revenue generators for the aggregator business model.
A booking fee is charged to the rider based on the flat fee or distance-based concept. The admin will be receiving the ride fare, then the driver will be paid his earnings.
This is how the commission-based revenue system works. Let’s get into the reasons why this is one of the best choices that you can make for your business!
- The admin has the power to fix the commission, in two methods - percentage or a flat fee.
- The service providers (drivers) don’t risk any losses by registering into your marketplace platform, you (the admin) will be paying them once their services are availed by the customers (riders).
- The admin can get a steady stream of revenue as the business grows (collection of small amounts shows a big difference).
