Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal stated that over 400,000 orders are cancelled every month, leading to significant food wastage. The cancelled orders will be made available for a limited time in their original packaging, with restaurant partners receiving compensation for the cancelled order and a portion of the amount paid by the new customer.

X will allow blocked users to see your posts, Elon Musk reacts

Elon Musk-owned social media platform X (formerly Twitter) will now allow blocked users to see the posts from the person who blocked them, without the ability to engage. Previously, blocked users could not view any content or details of the person who blocked them. Musk has been critical of the block feature in the past, expressing the need for a stronger mute button instead. The change allows blocked users to see public posts but does not enable them to interact with them. The motive behind the adjustment is unclear.

Zomato’s ‘Book Now, Sell Anytime’ feature explained | Mint

Zomato has introduced a new feature called "Book Now, Sell Anytime" that allows customers to easily book and resell event tickets. The feature aims to address concerns about changed plans and uncertainties when booking in advance. Customers can buy tickets for listed events on the Zomato app and, if their plans change, list their ticket on the app at their chosen price. Once another customer purchases the listed ticket, the original ticket is cancelled and a new ticket is issued. Zomato monitors the platform to prevent misuse, and the feature will be available for the upcoming Zomato Feeding India Concert featuring Dua Lipa.

Uber Eats' new live location sharing feature helps couriers deliver food to users in hard-to-find locations

Uber Eats is introducing a live location sharing feature to aid couriers in finding customers in hard-to-find areas such as parks and campuses. This new capability will be available in all marketplaces except Quebec and helps address the challenge couriers face in delivering orders to locations that are difficult to navigate. Users will be notified when their location is being shared with the courier, with sharing stopping once the order is delivered. Uber hopes this feature will improve reliability and customer satisfaction. The company has already implemented live location sharing in its ride-hailing app since 2017.

Zomato halts 15-min food delivery service 'Quick' just four months after launch

Zomato halts 15-min food delivery service 'Quick' just four months after launch

Food tech giant Zomato has reportedly removed its 15-minute food delivery tab, Quick, from its main app just four months after its launch, hinting at a possible strategic reset in its approach to ultra-fast meal deliveries. Moneycontrol was the first to report this development. The feature, also available as part of Zomato Everyday, was advertised on the landing page of the main app but is now unavailable in several cities such as Bengaluru, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and more. It is also possible that the company will not entirely phase out the feature and may release another version later. The service offered ready-to-eat dishes from select restaurants located within a two-kilometre radius. However, the option is no longer visible. Zomato Quick accounted for nearly 8% of the total order volume on the app around March. This was Zomato’s second attempt to crack the quick food delivery market under its main app. Its earlier effort – Zomato Instant, launched in 2022 – promised 10-minute deliveries in Bengaluru and Delhi-NCR but was shut down by January 2023. It was later replaced by Zomato Everyday, a home-style meal service with similar delivery timelines. While Zomato no longer offers a quick food delivery option on its main app, it has launched Bistro by Blinkit – a separate service offering fast-moving, ready-to-eat dishes made in Blinkit's network of dark stores. The app focuses on snacks, small meals, and bakery items that can be dispatched rapidly, blending Blinkit’s quick-commerce infrastructure with Zomato’s food delivery know-how. Zomato appears to be shifting its quick-food plans away from its core app and into a more focused play powered by Blinkit's dark store network. The company may be looking to separate rapid-fire snacking from full-fledged restaurant orders. The move comes at a time when the 15-minute food delivery space is flooded with new entrants, such as Zepto, which led the category with Zepto Café in 2022 and now fulfills over 100,000 daily orders through its standalone app – translating to a $100 million annualised GMV.

X is testing NSFW adult communities, according to screenshots

Twitter, now known as X, is reportedly working on a new feature called NSFW Communities that would allow users to create groups for explicit content. This feature was discovered by app researchers who shared screenshots with TechCrunch. While X already has a lenient policy on adult content, this new feature could provide a more direct way for adult creators to reach their audience. However, it is unclear if the feature will actually be implemented, as previous potential features for monetizing adult content on X have not come to fruition. X has recently been working on addressing issues related to child sexual exploitation on the platform.
