Online food aggregator Zomato will now deliver food in 15 minutes. The company has given a new option on its app to deliver food to customers in 15 minutes. However, the delivery location should be less than 1.5 kilometers from the restaurant.
For this, customers will have to go to the ‘Deliver in 15 minutes’ tab in the Explore section of the Zomato app. Customers will be able to view the list of foods to be delivered and order here. At present this service is not available everywhere.
Earlier, the company had launched this service as a pilot project about 3 years ago. Then this service was started in cities like Delhi, Gurugram and Bangalore.
