If you are Zomato user, you can now schedule your food delivery order up to two days in advance. The food delivery platform has rolled out the feature only in select major cities.
"Plan your meals better by placing an order up to 2 days in advance, and we’ll deliver right on time," said Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal on X.
However, you can schedule only orders above Rs 1,000. And the feature will be available initially across 13,000 outlets in cities like Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Lucknow and Jaipur.
Goyal clarified that these restaurants have high quantities of dishes in stock historically and have shown kitchen-preparation-time consistency.
He assured customers that more restaurants and cities are being added. "We will soon extend this for all orders," added Goyal.
On August 22, Zomato discontinued its Legends intercity delivery service, which allowed customers to order food from across 10 cities. Goyal said the service was shut down after two years of trying and not finding product market fit. It was launched in 2022.
Zomato recently came to an agreement with Paytm to acquire the fintech firm's movie and events ticketing business for a Rs 2,034 crore all-cash deal. Zomato is expected to convert the business into an app called District.
