Appears to be flop show. Zomato seems to be going down. Restros are leaving the platform after finding out it's not worth it considering Zomato commissions and without restro Zomato would be dud as awareness amongst restro spreads. Only way to survive for Zomato or similar platforms is to keep commissions to minimal. Freaking 30% cut is like hitting hammer on one's own toe. Zomato pro plus or whatever membership also is left hanging for quite a few months. Most restro can do business independent of Zomato and swiggy and still survive, flourish. But Zomato , swiggy can't survive without restro. It's plain and simple logic which top mba grads don't seem to understand.

Then where are restros going? They have to go somewhere to get orders.

Few Restros i know which get 100s of order and hugely popular started delivering orders directly bypassing apps. They take order on call.

Also there is new platform, may be that exploits restros less, which restros have started using.

All aggregators, including ola and uber, world over unless they reduce their commission... They have no future. They burnt money like stupid for getting delivery guys or cab drivers and customers onboard their platform as a part of promotion but if they start taking undue benefits...

their death is certain. It's writing on the wall.

Analytics was their cherry on the cake but with orders analysis would be a joke.

Only governments have power to exploit common citizens without limits and still survive . Though people leave countries too .

Food delivery is awesome concept and need of the hour but that doesn't mean companies eat half or less food (metaphorically speaking) from every order.

So basically one is donating 499/999 to zomato

I've managed more than 50 restaurants in NCR, and you know each penny of commission is paid by the customer. Nothing is being paid by owners. 

A burger that costs ₹20 and easily is sold at ₹50 through an outlet is listed as ₹150 on Zomato.

After the discount, it gets to us ₹90 (40% discount, the average discount on Zomato is usually 40% and 40% of ₹150 is ₹90)

Disposable charge:- ₹10

Total in-cash:- ₹100

Zomato commission:- -₹27 (30%) out-cash

Total Income:- ₹73 (This is ~50% more margin from the outlet sale)

This 50% is the space where an outlet place game, when he finds the outlet sale is down he pulls up the discount rate on the Zomato app and when he finds the outlet is crowded and the chefs are busy catering to them he either of the Zomato ordering or reduce the discount. 

Zomato & swiggy are blessings to the new-age restaurant owners who are smart and know how to benefit between customer's pocket & Zomato commission.

So you mean, 50 bucks burger listed on Zomato for 150 is worth it? And do all customers get it for 100 bucks after discounts?

It depends on restro how much to mark up prices online on app. Not all mark up to such an extent. And neither all over India would find customers going for so much jacked up prices.

My opinion is based on talking with restro owners only. And i get sms from restro i normally get food from to order directly on call instead of using app. It's obvious, if restro find better and cheaper means to deal with customers, they obviously gonna go with it.

Btw i have 3 relatives working with Zomato too . Two left. One moved to blinkit. All were working in offices, engg grads. Not delivery executives.

Are u with Zomato as well?

There's is atleast 2× price difference.

I'm not particularly with any of Zomato or swiggy however my connections have their restaurant listed on Zomato and Swiggy.

Funny how a post about an event by a company turned into bashing and insights of that company. 

I have attended Zomaland twice in Delhi (JLN stadium), I believe in year 2018 and 2019. It is similar to other food fests like Grubfest. You have live performances by various artists, shows (comedy, magic, etc) food and booze. DJ party and carnival too at times. I think I never paid more than 200-250 as I had Zomato gold membership then which gave 50% discount. 

These year entry charges for most events have been increased, doubled mostly. Might be due to increased interest of public in outdoor events after 2 years along with inflation. Even at these prices there will be a big crowd at the event.

Unless you are so particular about VIP treatment, I think 499 is enough just to get in and find what is what. I personally think, reasonable price is 299 regular and 499 VIP. If any one have previous experience, kindly share. Also, Zomato food pricing is neither great nor bad. I do have rbl zomato card and with that I got Pro Plus. So, for me it's ok including various offers. But main concern is quantity, in most cases food is hardly sufficient. But without Pro Plus and other offers, it's surely bad deal. 


I generally see the prices listed in Zomato are higher than outlet prices which should not be the case and I also don't like that way but it's their strategy!
