Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rydra?
Rydra is a pre-launch, multi-vertical logistics platform built to replace outdated delivery and gig systems. It offers six core services at the start across delivery, rideshare, courier, shopping, and contract work — all within one intelligent system.
When will Rydra launch?
Rydra is currently in pre-launch, with the first rollout expected soon. You can register interest as a driver, business, or user to be notified the moment we go live.
How is Rydra different from other platforms?
Unlike traditional gig platforms, Rydra gives full control back to the user. Drivers set their own prices, businesses hire directly, and consumers can post jobs on their terms. It’s not just a marketplace — it’s a movement engine.
What cities will Rydra launch in first?
Rydra’s first launch will be in Canberra, Australia, with national expansion to follow.
Can I sign up early?
Yes, you can register your interest now and be among the first to access the platform once we launch.
What kind of jobs can I do on Rydra?
You’ll be able to drive across six services: Eats (food), Market (groceries), Ride (rideshare), Dash (parcel courier), Drop (retail/hardware delivery), and Contracts (shift-based work).
Can I drive for multiple services?
Yes. Rydra allows drivers to work across all services, giving you more flexibility, more jobs, and more earning potential.
How do Rydra contracts work?
Businesses can offer direct contracts to drivers — think scheduled shifts, consistent hours, and weekly earnings. Contracts may include base pay and commission for completed deliveries.
Will I earn more than on other platforms?
Drivers could earn significantly more. With service fees over 10% lower than industry averages and control over pricing, Rydra empowers drivers to earn what they’re truly worth.
Do I have to accept every job?
No. You choose which jobs to accept, when to work, and how much to charge (per minute or per metre for Rideshare).
What is the DPI (Driver Prestige Index)?
DPI is our transparent performance system. It rewards drivers for efficiency, reliability, and service quality — unlocking better job visibility and higher-value opportunities.
Will Rydra offer insurance?
Yes — RydraShield, our optional driver protection program, is coming soon post-launch.
How can my business use Rydra?
You’ll be able to post jobs, schedule delivery shifts, or offer contracts to drivers. You choose the terms, rates, and schedule — and build your own team of consistent, reliable drivers.
What kinds of businesses can use Rydra?
Rydra is built for restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, hardware retailers, boutique shops, couriers, and any business needing smart, local logistics.
How do Rydra’s fees compare to other platforms?
Our fees are well over 10% lower than the industry average — putting more margin back in your business from day one.
Can I use Rydra instead of hiring full-time staff?
Yes. Rydra lets you contract high-performing drivers directly, reducing overhead while improving delivery consistency and quality.
How does Rydra improve customer satisfaction?
By working with the same drivers regularly, businesses can prep more effectively, reduce delays, and ensure the customer experience stays sharp and consistent.
Do I have to commit to long-term contracts?
No. You can post one-off jobs, schedule shifts, or create recurring contracts. It’s completely flexible.
Can I use Rydra like a regular delivery app?
Yes — and more. You can request rides, order deliveries, or post any job from groceries to parcels. But unlike other apps, you set the price, choose the driver, and control the service.
What if I don’t want to choose a driver manually?
Use Auto-Assign. We’ll match you with a top-rated driver within seconds for a frictionless experience.
Can I save money using Rydra?
Absolutely. You could save over $130 a year in hidden fees — and potentially the full $376 per year some users pay in surcharges on other platforms, especially through loyalty programs.
What services can I use as a consumer?
Rideshare, food and grocery delivery, parcel delivery, retail pickup, hardware runs, and more. One app — over six services.
How does driver selection work?
You can filter drivers by cost, location, rating, or DPI score to find the perfect fit — no blind assignments.
Will I be able to track my deliveries in real time?
Yes. Rydra offers full transparency from pickup to drop-off so you always know what’s happening.
