🚨Zomato is reportedly testing something new, and it’s got everyone talking! Recently, user Param Sharma shared a screenshot of a “Flash Sale” pop-up on his app. Here’s how it works: if someone cancels their order, it goes up for grabs in a flash sale—so you can swoop in and claim a freshly prepared, sealed meal at half the price! 💥 In Param’s case, that meant a meal originally priced at Rs. 260 was offered at just Rs. 130, with delivery promised in only 5 minutes. This sounds like a smart way to reduce food waste and score some tasty deals, but it does raise some interesting questions. Will this encourage more people to cancel their orders, knowing their food might just be “rescued” by someone else? Or is this an innovative way to make quality food affordable and sustainable? What’s your take? Is this true? Has anyone else been offered this too-good-to-be-true deal? Also, is Zomato onto something brilliant here, or is this a potential slippery slope?

Resold orders will be pure profit for Zomato. As for those who canceled the original order, they will have to pay the full cancellation fee for the order. It's a great way to reduce waste and also benefit from it at the same time.

Aware of this. But the thing is that there's no official announcement about it from Zomato or Deepinder sir. Just one user shared this screenshot on X and everyone's covering this. Even if Zomato is just testing this feature, atleast more than 1 people would receive such offer. Anyways, it's an fantastic thing if it's true! 🔥
