Zomato food delivery 10-minute is being planned
21 March 2022
According to Goyal, the fulfillment of his quick delivery guarantee is dependent on a dense network of finishing stations located near high-demand customer neighborhoods.
Zomato food delivery, which is similar to Zepto, plans to deliver food in 10 minutes.
According to Goyal, the fulfillment of his quick delivery guarantee is dependent on a dense network of finishing stations located near high-demand customer neighborhoods.
To ensure that the food is sterile, fresh, and hot when the delivery partner picks it up, the company will also rely heavily on dish-level demand prediction algorithms and in-station robotics.
Throughout its finishing stations, Zomato will display bestseller items – roughly 20-30 dishes from partner restaurants.
Deepinder Goyal, the founder of online meal delivery service Zomato, stated in a blog on March 21 that the company wants to deliver food to consumers in a record time of 10 minutes, similar to grocery delivery companies.
“I began to suspect that Zomato’s 30-minute average delivery time is too slow and will soon become obsolete; if we don’t, someone else will,” Goyal said.
“In the technology industry, the only way to survive (and thus grow) is to innovate and lead from the front, and here we are… with Zomato Instant, our 10-minute meal delivery service,” Goyal explained.

Zomato food delivery will display bestseller items – roughly 20-30 dishes from partner restaurants – throughout its finishing stations based on predictability.
“Because of the predictability of demand at the hyperlocal level, we estimate that pricing for the client will be greatly reduced, while the absolute rupees margin/income for our restaurant partners and delivery partners will remain the same,” Goyal explained.
In April, Zomato Instant, as it will be known, will launch a pilot program with four outlets in Gurugram.
This move comes at a time when Zomato food delivery is aggressively investing in food-tech and robotics companies. Last week, it invested $5 million in Mukunda Foods, a robotics startup that designs and manufactures smart robotic equipment to automate food preparation in restaurants.
Previously, it invested in ad-tech company Adonmo and B2B software platform UrbanPiper Technology as part of a $1 billion investment strategy in startups.
