Delivery zones on a map: a fee per zone, orders to the nearest branch
Draw a polygon on the map, set a fee, switch it on. When a guest enters an address, the site finds the zone, shows the fee and sends the order to the nearest branch.
What a zone is and how you draw it
The admin panel opens a map: Google, Yandex or OSM. You draw a polygon with the mouse: Chilanzar, Yunusabad, downtown. Each zone has a name, a delivery fee and an on/off switch. Polygons, not a radius, so you can cut out the far side of a river or the district beyond the highway.
- Zone to branch is many-to-many: two branches on one zone, three zones on one branch, both fine
- Minimum order amount and a free-from threshold
- Address outside every zone: the site refuses the order and tells the guest
A plov chain with three branches and one website
Branches: Chilanzar, Yunusabad, Sergeli. Sunday, 1 pm. A guest in Yunusabad block 4 orders plov for three. The site checks the address: zone Yunusabad, fee UZS 15,000, waived because the order is over 120,000. The server picks the nearest of the three branches, Yunusabad. The order lands on that branch's register; Chilanzar never sees it.
Couriers and dispatch
Once the order is at the register, a courier is called. TaxiMillenium is live: one button in the admin panel or the iiko plugin, courier status stays visible. Yandex Delivery, Uzum Delivery and Noor take credentials. Dispatcher settings (auto-assignment, queueing) are coming soon; for now it is connection only.
Price and limits
Zones are part of your laCafe package (packages from UZS 600,000 a month, see /pricing) and unlimited. They work on the laGuest website and app. Yandex Eats and Uzum Tezkor orders bypass zones: those platforms deliver themselves, laCafe only passes the menu and order.
Questions & answers
Can I draw zones as polygons instead of a radius?
Yes, polygons only. You place points on the map and the zone closes. Easy to leave out a neighbourhood you do not serve.
Can each zone have its own delivery fee?
Yes. Name, fee, minimum order and free-from threshold are all per zone. You can also switch a zone off temporarily.
With several branches, which one gets the order?
Among the branches attached to the zone, the one closest to the address is picked automatically. No operator picks by hand.
What if the guest is outside every zone?
The site refuses the order and tells the guest the address is not served. You can offer pickup instead.
Which courier services can I connect?
TaxiMillenium is live with visible status. Yandex Delivery, Uzum Delivery and Noor connect via credentials. Dispatcher settings are coming soon.
Which map providers are supported?
Google, Yandex or OpenStreetMap. You choose which one the site shows.

Aggregator Commission or Your Own Delivery: Run the Numbers
An aggregator brings orders but takes a fifth of the bill. Your own site is cheap, but you have to bring the guest to it yourself. The right answer is not either/or — each has its place. Below, an exact calculation for a 1 000-order month.

An aggregator takes a cut of every order. A guest orders 120 000 UZS of plov and you receive less.

How to launch one (domain, zones, courier, payments) is what this guide covers.
