Zomato hikes platform fee on food delivery to Rs 10 during festive season

Gurgaon-based food delivery platform, Zomato, has increased its platform fee for food delivery transactions to Rs 10 per order during the festive season, up from Rs 7. The fee helps cover operational costs and is aimed at maintaining services during the busy period. Zomato's rival, Swiggy, also charges a platform fee and has progressively increased it to Rs 7. These fees are additional charges applied to each food order and contribute to the companies' revenue. The platform fee increase is expected to boost the take rates for Zomato and Swiggy as they handle millions of daily food delivery orders.
