Zomato legends

Don't know why this is being posted now since this has existed for a long time. I checked the prices of the items and they are nearly 2-3 times of the local menu price.

Food delivery company Zomato quietly introduced a new service, which allows customers to buy food from not just their city but also from a different city in another corner of India. Branded Intercity Legends, the service currently offers limited options for order origins and destinations. A DH test of the service confirmed that the service was not available in Bengaluru as of the time of publishing. "It’s an experimentation basis customer requests we had garnered in recent times," a Zomato spokesperson inc42. "We are glad to be connecting Indians all over to the most legendary food, synonymous with the cities onboarded as a part of the Intercity Legends offering. It's too early for us to share details."

“What I’m more worried about is who is the next capable guy to lead the business, especially as a partner who is dependent on them. What brought them to the leading position was their execution. Now, what will allow them to stay on top is execution—if you do not have the right people for the right kind of execution, it is worrying," said the owner of a mid-sized restaurant chain that works with multiple food aggregators. While such changes are “temporary", “I think somebody or the other will step up to tackle it, but this temporary pain is what I’m worried about", he added.
