Food delivery platform Zomato has introduced a new feature called Food Rescue to combat food wastage. The feature offers customers the opportunity to purchase discarded food items at an unbeatable price within a 3 km radius of the delivery partner. 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.
