Over the past ten years, food delivery services have expanded dramatically in India. These services, which were first concentrated in major cities, have now expanded to Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas. Thanks to improved logistics, partnerships with local eateries, and India’s growing internet penetration, food delivery apps like Zomato, Swiggy, and Uber Eats have found a sizable niche in the Indian food industry.
Nevertheless, the food delivery sector still confronts a number of difficulties in spite of its expansion. The application itself was the source of some of the issues, while the partners were responsible for others. However, the most frequent complaint about these businesses is that they handle meal delivery poorly. We frequently heard about food deliveries being delayed or containing rotting food. The most significant ones, though, are always receiving the incorrect order or having the delivery switched. A similar incident occurred earlier when a consumer ordered paneer momos rather than chicken momos. Zomato has now addressed her accusations.
A strict vegetarian receives chicken momos from Zomato in error rather than paneer momos:
Sonakshi Misra, a client, recently expressed her annoyance on X, formerly known as Twitter, after receiving the incorrect order. She suffered trauma for the rest of her life as a result of the incorrect order. She initially placed an order for paneer momos from Zomato. However, Zomato brought chicken momos in place of that. When she opened the package and saw the chunks of chicken, she understood this.
She stated that she is a strict vegetarian and that this error is an affront to her religious convictions in her X post. She also insisted that Zomato issue a formal apology and provide full compensation. She stated in her post,
In what way has Zomato addressed the grievance?
Zomato apologised to Sonakshi after her X post and made it clear that they would never purposefully upset her and that they took her dietary requirements extremely seriously. They also asked her for additional information. Zomato responded by writing,
Sonakshi eventually uploaded a new post in which she stated that even though she had been given a refund, she still desired full restitution for this distressing event. She penned,
At the same time, these kinds of situations are growing more commonplace every day. A man reported last month in April that he ordered vegetarian biryani from Zomato but ended up with chicken biryani instead. He shared a video he took of the food box with the green vegetable labelling on social media. Following this, a lot of people started criticising Zomato’s facilities after the incident’s footage went popular on social media. These kinds of errors are not new, as many people noted, and they occur someplace every minute.
