Zomato shut down 15 minutes of food delivery service “fast” four months after launch.
Zomato announced its results for the January-March fiscal year 2024-25 (Q4FY25) on Thursday, May 1, and informed its shareholders that the leading grain delivery giant will shut down its 15-minute daily catering service “fast” and Zomato. Zomato “Quick” was launched four months ago.
In response to questions about Zomato’s “fast” and Zomato’s daily service, Deepinder Goyal today said: “We are actually closing both initiatives because we don’t see the profitable pathways in these planned without compromise on restaurant density and kitchen infrastructure.
Zomato “Quick”, “Daily” Close
As a result, Zomato did not see any increments of demand when it ran rapidly over several months of experiments. Every day, food delivery giants realize that for OCE locations in metropolitan areas, the demand for home restaurants is primarily limited use cases. “We are not seeing enough ROI,” Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal confirmed.
Zomato Davere is a fast food delivery option that appears on the Zomato Explore page on the app, offering ready-to-eat, home-cooked meals at selected restaurants within a radius of two kilometers. However, this option is no longer visible.
This is Zomato’s second attempt to break down the fast delivery market. Its earlier service – Zomato Intert launched in 2022 – promised 10 minutes of delivery in Bengaluru and Delhi NCR, but was closed by January 2023.
