Zomato Introduces Group Ordering Feature Following Swiggy's Lead
Zomato has launched a new 'Group Ordering' feature, allowing users to place orders in groups by sharing a link with friends.
The feature is live on the Zomato app and will be rolled out to all customers in phases, according to cofounder Deepinder Goyal.
This launch follows Swiggy's introduction of a similar feature, which accounted for 6% of all orders during its first weekend.
Zomato has been diversifying its offerings with new features like an all-electric large order fleet, 'Pure Veg' fleet, and last-mile delivery for office goers.
The company also recently introduced features like removing past orders from history and enabling cash payments with instant credit to Zomato Money accounts.
Zomato announced the launch of 'District,' a new app consolidating dining, ticketing, and other lifestyle services, marking an ambitious expansion beyond its core food delivery services.
