Food

Order from restaurants near you and follow it from the kitchen to your door. The whole price — food, delivery and any fee — before you order rather than after.

Documents, keys, a part for the workshop. Book a courier, and the person receiving it reads out a code before it changes hands.

Before you acceptYou see what it pays

Earn with DERSA

Your own hours. A fare you knew first.

Drive passengers, deliver orders, or bring a fleet. Your own hours, the fare shown before you accept, and support when you need it.

  • Every offer shows where from, where to, how far and what it pays — before you accept it.
  • No vehicle of your own? Drive a fleet's, on terms agreed before you start.
  • Earnings are recorded the moment a job completes, and a delayed payout does not change what you are owed.
  • Deliver by bicycle or on foot and you are never asked for a driving licence.

Your journey, protected

A code read out before the trip starts, a trip you can share with somebody you trust, and phone numbers neither side ever sees. Calls go through DERSA.

Once a monthOne statement

DERSA for Business

No receipts. No month-end argument.

Employee rides and deliveries on one account, with spending limits, central billing and monthly invoices.

Limits that hold

One per employee and one for the company, both applying at once, enforced at the moment of payment.

Central billing

Every ride and delivery on one monthly account, each charge on its own line.

Nothing for a cancelled ride

A charge is recorded when a journey is paid for, so the statement holds no trips nobody took.

A control, not a tracker

You see what was charged to the company. You do not see an employee's private travel.

Built for Ethiopia

Each of these is a decision a service built elsewhere and shipped here gets wrong.

Cash is a first-class payment

You do not need a bank account or a card to use DERSA. Pay the driver in cash, or from a DERSA Pay balance, and the app treats both the same.

Amharic first, then three more

Amharic, English, Afaan Oromoo and Tigrinya, throughout the app rather than on the welcome screen.

Built for Ethiopian businesses

Nothing to pay to list a shop or to start driving, and settlement in birr to an account you already have.

Safety that is built in

A code read out before a trip starts, a trip you can share, and phone numbers that stay private on both sides.
