Zomato, a food delivery platform, has released a new feature ‘Order Scheduling’ that lets users plan their meals up to two days in advance. This service represents a substantial improvement to the company’s offerings as it is currently offered in several major Indian cities.
The CEO and founder of Zomato, Deepinder Goyal, announced the introduction of this functionality on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. Goyal said that initially over 13,000 restaurants in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Lucknow and Jaipur will be offering the service for orders over Rs 1,000. “These restaurants historically, have high quantities of dishes in stock and have shown kitchen-preparation-time consistency. More restaurants and cities are being added. We will soon extend this for all orders,” Goyal tweeted.
The CEO also indicated plans to expand this feature, mentioning that it will eventually be available for all orders, regardless of value. Furthermore, the company has plans to increase the number of participating restaurants and cities in the future.
Shortly after Zomato terminated its Legends intercity delivery service, a new scheduling option was introduced. The use of order scheduling is indicative of the company’s continuous endeavours to enhance and reinvent its service provisions within the fiercely competitive meal delivery industry.
Prior to this, the company also unveiled a new ‘Group Ordering’ feature earlier this month, which is designed to simplify the process of ordering food for groups. With ‘Group Ordering,’ users can create a shared cart without the need to exchange phones or manually consolidate orders.
