Zomato pilots food vending machines at workplaces in new attempt at quick delivery
Zomato is piloting food vending machines in Gurugram corporate offices. This new initiative, Zomato Now, aims for rapid food delivery access. Zomato Now comes alongside sister company Blinkit’s 10-minute food delivery service Bistro, which operates through its own cloud kitchens.
Zomato, the foodtech company, is testing food vending machines in corporate offices in Gurugram as a means to provide quick and convenient food delivery to employees. This initiative, named Zomato Now, is a partnership between Zomato and various food and restaurant brands. One of the test pods has been photographed and shared on social media by a LinkedIn user named Daksh Jain.
However, Zomato has not provided any comment on the trial. This comes alongside Blinkit, Zomato's sister company, which already offers a 10-minute food delivery service called Bistro. Bistro operates through its own cloud kitchens. In May, Zomato decided to discontinue its 15-minute food delivery experiment and consolidate its efforts under Blinkit's Bistro. This decision came as other companies like Swiggy were expanding their own rapid delivery services.
