Zomato adds another meaningless fee! You can see in the picture that the fee is charged for priority fee for priority delivery! Even to the premium customers. First platform fee and now this. The founders are trying really hard to make it more profitable any how where I don't think zepto has such fee ( not sure ), Even tho it delivers fast! This isn't a good sign for customers coz previously the platform fee was 1 digited and now this priority fee of 2 digits. If they deliver in 10-20min with this delivery then it makes sense or else Its just a way to earn or and nothing else. Let me know what you think

Even i saw this while ordering yesterday and tbh it's a good decision. See Zomato is aldredy profitable so profitability isn't the main reason. Second those who don't mind paying or need it fast, will use it. Even Zepto charges 10₹ in name of handling fees and platform fees for all orders. So this isn't a useless fees.

I can't see this in my app maybe it's applicable only in few cities, yeah something funny happened when I didn't see the priority option I updated my app and my delivery distance increased from 5 km to 6km 😂 although it's still fine I can order a 160 pizza for 174 and that's fair I think..

There's this crazy pattern about Zomato’s platform fees. And this might be the single most profit-making strategy for its food delivery vertical. Consider this chronology: .. Q2FY24- Platform fee of Rs 2 introduced in August. Q3FY24- Platform fe
