Zomato to deliver food in 10 minutes

Zomato, which also once touted using deliveries by drones, said today starting next month it will begin delivering food in 10 minutes in its home city of Gurugram in what appears to be a first by any food delivery firm across the globe. The company is calling this new service Zomato Instant.

In a blog, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal said customers are increasingly demanding “quicker answers to their needs”, and that sorting restaurants by fastest delivery time is one of the most used features on the Zomato app.

“Nobody in the world has so far delivered hot and fresh food in under 10 minutes at scale, and we were eager to be the first to create this category, globally!” he said.

Goyal said the fulfilment of Zomato’s quick delivery promise will rely on its dense finishing stations’ network, located in close proximity to high-demand customer neighbourhoods.
