Overview
Building the Operating System for Restaurants & Urban Commerce Delever is creating the digital backbone for food-tech, delivery and retail in emerging markets. We unify all channels, operations, couriers, payments and customer interactions into a single platform — powering thousands of restaurants and millions of orders across Central Asia and GCC. One infrastructure for all restaurant operations. We are building a platform that unifies POS, delivery, website, app, couriers, payments, marketing and analytics into a single digital flow. Unify POS, delivery, website, apps, couriers, payments, marketing & analytics Create new last-mile standard in high-growth markets Become the infrastructure for online sales & delivery in MENA + Central Asia Build marketplace on top of infrastructure (superapp integrations) Restaurants in emerging markets face systemic fragmentation Owners can't see everything in one place, chase employees and kitchen, beg couriers to work. No data chain and transparency between systems → forced to compromise with customers POS ≠ website ≠ delivery ≠ aggregators ≠ couriers ≠ CRM Aggregators take 25-40% of revenue, making business unprofitable Restaurants lack tech to build their own direct channels Delever solves these problems comprehensively. The All-in-One Operating System for Restaurants Delever unifies all components into a single platform Website, mini-app, mobile app, QR, call-center Online payments via website, app, Telegram, QR and other sales channels Online payment acceptance across all sales channels With $85M GMV in 2025, processing 20% volume at 2% commission = $340K additional MRR Anonymized market analytics, consumption trends, demand forecasts for suppliers and investors More restaurants → more data → better product → more restaurants. Positive feedback loop 50+ integrations create switching costs: harder to move to competitor Unique direct order data that aggregators don't have. Complete customer behavior picture Delever is the ONLY platform that gives restaurants FULL control: their customers, their data, their business.

The perfect moment to build a unified platform Multiple different systems create chaos and reduce business transparency Restaurants need to understand their strengths and weaknesses to survive Critical need to reduce aggregator commissions and operational costs Healthy unit economics — the foundation of a scalable business Upon achieving round goals, we expect $50-100M valuation in Series A (2026-2027) Delever represents strategic value for global players seeking presence in emerging MENA and Central Asia markets Global expansion, restaurant technology, emerging markets MENA presence, B2B solutions, operational infrastructure Uber Eats expansion, technology platform, new markets Sales team expansion, marketing in new regions, partner programs New market integrations, platform stability and scaling Licenses, compliance, legal expenses for new markets Technical specialists, regional managers, support Direct B2B sales, demos, pilots with large clients Rev share model with integrators, POS vendors, consultants UAE → KSA → rest of GCC through partner network Current revenue churn 1%/month. With LTV/CAC of 2.3, unit economics improvement needed for sustainable growth Mitigation: AI Suite for retention, improved onboarding, proactive support, focus on high-value clients With current $50K MRR and growth plans, $1M+ needed for GCC scaling. Burn rate is manageable but requires monitoring Mitigation: Managed burn rate, focus on unit economics, staged capital raising, partner model to reduce CAC In new markets (KSA, Kuwait, Qatar) aggregators may block APIs or change terms, making integration impossible Mitigation: Multiple integrations, own channels (website, app), POS vendor partnerships, legal protection, pilots before scaling System may fail under load when scaling from 200 to 3,500 clients, leading to churn Mitigation: Cloud-first architecture, experienced team (Ex-Express24, MaxWay), load testing, 24/7 monitoring Recession may lead to mass restaurant closures or IT budget reductions Mitigation: Proven ROI, flexible pricing, focus on client savings, regional diversification
