Zomato to use new ‘large order fleet’ to deliver food for groups of up to 50 people

The food delivery company Zomato is increasing the capability of delivering large orders, which could be for a group of up to 50 people, for events and parties, the company’s CEO said on X on April 16.

“Such large orders were earlier served by multiple regular fleet delivery partners, and the customer experience wasn’t what we really aspired for. These new vehicles should solve most of the problems our customers face while placing large orders on Zomato,” Zomato founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal posted on X.

“Having said that, these vehicles are still “work in progress”, and we are in the process of adding important enhancements to them – like cooling compartments, and hot boxes with temperature control – to ensure everything arrives just the way you like,” he added.

The decision comes at a time when the food delivery company’s stock price has been surging on the back of rising profitability in its core business and the fast growth of its quick commerce arm, Blinkit.
