Zomato intercity

Zomato has launched ‘Intercity Legends’ service to allow customers to order prominent regional dishes like baked rosogollas from Kolkata, biryani from Hyderabad, mysore pak from Bengaluru, kebabs from Lucknow, butter chicken from Old Delhi, or pyaaz kachori from Jaipur, irrespective of where they live. To begin with, the offering will be launched for select customers in Gurugram and South Delhi. The company plans to rapidly scale this to other cities in the next few weeks. “We put together some of the best problem solvers and product builders at Zomato to find a way to bring popular dishes from cities across India to your doorstep,” CEO Deepinder Goyal said in a company post. Goyal noted that all types of dishes have undergone lab testing to ensure that the aroma, texture, and taste remain of high quality. Food is freshly prepared by the restaurant and packed in reusable and tamper-proof containers to keep it safe during air transit. State-of-the-art mobile refrigeration technology preserves food without the need to freeze it or add any kind of preservatives, said the company.

Food aggregator Zomato is planning to stretch its Intercity Legends service to top cities in the upcoming few months. It will be adding more iconic restaurants on its platform to expand its food delivery service. Zomato launched Intercity Legends service as a pilot in late August in Delhi. The service offered 24-hour food delivery from premium restaurant brands in different parts of India. The delivered food included sandesh and rosogollas from Kolkata, biryani from Hyderabad, and chole bhature from Delhi. The service has been now made available to people based in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru. A total of 120 restaurants from 10 cities have been on-boarded by Zomato so far. Siddharth Jhawar, head of Intercity Legends, told IANS, “We have a lot of clarity. Over the next three months, we want to be in all top cities.” However, he didn’t tell the name of the cities where the services would be offered. According to Jhawar, this is a very interesting time for people as Diwali and New Year is around the corner, and the service is intended to be made available in top cities by the festival time. The company is focused on getting all the fundamental and user-experience metrics right as claimed by Jhawar.

So, what if the food goes stale during delivery? • Since the food is coming from a different state, the service might be slightly costly. • Also, who is going to be responsible if I don't get my food on time and in the way I want it? • Also, can I return the food? What happens if Im not home when this delivery guy comes in?

If you are sitting in Delhi and craving a plate full of biriyani from Hyderabad, you can now easily get it flown from the city of nizam - courtesy Zomato. In its latest endeavour, the food delivery app introduced intercity food delivery under the Intercity Legends branding that allows one to avail of the service. Unfortunately, the services are not available for all users yet. A Zomato spokesperson told How successful the venture can be? Zomato is infamous for launching such initiatives in style and then wrapping up unceremoniously. Such experiments include grocery delivery and nutraceuticals, which have bombed in the past. Given its history, it is yet to be seen whether the company can actually deliver what it has promised considering the fact that it is quite an ambitious project. On the upside, the services are to be launched next month, and considering that it is the festive season, the experiment might draw some traction. But there is a downside to it too. The inc42 report cited it had ordered 1 kg Biriyani from Hyderabad to check how the initiative works. It said, our order was priced at INR 700 including taxes, the cost of the dish (INR 280) and the cost of delivery and shipping (INR 350).

(For first-time customers, company is also offering a discount of INR 200 for a customer’s first intercity o...
