A few days ago, we hit 21 million monthly orders, and our food delivery services are currently present in 41 cities. This past Sunday, we crossed over a million orders — our greatest delivery milestone so far. It’s easy to surmise that the market for food delivery is only bound to increase. We also believe it’s equally important to continue looking for ways to innovate, which would ultimately help us not only enhance the user experience but also nourish the industry in the long run. With that in mind, we are excited to introduce you to our latest product feature: Zomato Pickup.

As the name suggests, you can now order food on the app like you are used to with the added flexibility of going and picking it up yourself. Now, you can get food as quick as 15 minutes while enjoying exclusive offers from restaurants. This feature combines the ease of ordering via the app, eliminates wait time in queues and allows you more flexibility when you need it – e.g. grab a quick lunch while at work or order that afternoon coffee and skip the queues or even pick up some dinner on your way home.

How does the feature work on the app?

• You click on the PICKUP YOUR ORDER option
• Select the restaurant you wish to pick up your food from
• Place the order
• Get there on time to pickup your food

It’s as simple as that.

What’s more – all the benefits that you are entitled to while ordering online for food delivery  — be it Piggybank coins or restaurant offers — can all be availed through this feature too!

Important thing to note – Zomato is the only app in the country that has the pick up option for its users. Also, we have around 20,000 restaurants where you can place your pick up orders from – out of which 18,000 are committed to offering this service exclusively with us.

This feature is available on our latest Apps across 13 cities (Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Indore, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Nagpur and Vadodara). Over the next few weeks, we will be adding more cities to the list.

We are continuing to build on this and you can expect more features that give you more convenience and flexibility to get to your food!
