Zomato, the popular online food delivery platform, has unveiled the country's first-ever large order fleet. This fleet is tailored to cater to orders for gatherings of up to 50 people, such as parties and events.
The announcement came from Zomato's CEO, Deepinder Goyal, who took to the microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter) to share the news. Goyal highlighted that the new fleet marks a significant shift from the previous practice of relying on multiple regular fleet delivery partners, which often led to subpar customer experiences.
"Today, we are thrilled to introduce India’s first large order fleet, designed to handle all your large (group/party/event) orders with ease. This is an all-electric fleet, designed specifically to serve orders for a gathering of up to 50 people," Goyal announced.
Customer Experience Top Concern
He acknowledged the challenges faced by customers in the past due to the use of conventional delivery methods for large orders. Goyal affirmed the company's commitment to addressing these issues, stating, "Such large orders were earlier served by multiple regular fleet delivery partners, and the customer experience wasn’t what we really aspired for."
Goyal also reassured customers that the new fleet is a work in progress, with ongoing enhancements aimed at further improving service quality. "These new vehicles should solve most of the problems our customers face while placing large orders on Zomato," he added.
