Mumbai: Food delivery platform Zomato on Wednesday said the company has now made its takeaway service available to restaurant partners at zero commission, to help the industry get back to normal.
Even as the food ordering business is making a strong comeback after the initial setback of the ongoing pandemic, the growth has not been uniform, Zomato said in a blogpost.
“In our previous mid-COVID-19 report, we wrote about how the food ordering business is making a strong comeback after the initial setback of the ongoing pandemic. As of today, we are at 110 per cent of pre-COVID-19 GMV (gross merchandise value) run rate in our food delivery business,” the blogpost stated.
While the above signs have been more than encouraging, this growth has not been uniform and the overall food service industry is still far from full recovery, it added.
“Therefore, for restaurants to be able to tap into this demand immediately, we are making our takeaway service available for free to our restaurant partners,” it added.
The company said it will not charge any commission and will also forego the payment gateway charges it incurs on all takeaway orders.
“This is another step we are taking towards helping the restaurant ecosystem get back on its feet quickly,” added the blog. PTI
