Zomato Launches 'Food Rescue' to Combat Food Waste from Cancelled Orders

The new feature allows nearby customers to purchase cancelled orders at discounted prices, aiming to reduce wastage of over 4 lakh orders daily.

Zomato's 'Food Rescue' feature targets the significant food waste resulting from order cancellations on its platform.
Cancelled orders will be offered to nearby customers at competitive prices, ensuring the food remains in its original, untampered packaging.
The initiative is designed to benefit restaurants, customers, and the environment by reducing food waste and providing affordable meal options.
Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal has stated that the company will not profit from these sales, aside from necessary government taxes.
The feature is currently being scaled for a broader rollout, with safeguards to prevent misuse and ensure safety.
