Now Zomato started charging 18 percent GST

Only way to get profitable. 😊

18% on the bill amount?
so 36rs for 200 bill amount? 

Lena  hain  toh  lo  , nahi  toh   aage  badho  , hawa  aane  do ,  india  mein  bahut  hain  unse  kharidne  wale  and  convinenece   bolne  wale

Write " on platform fee " in title... Felt like a YouTube clickbait

A certain commission — usually ranging between 24%-28% of the order value — from the restaurants that are receiving the orders. This is just the commission for generating business for the restaurant partner, and excludes charges for enabling delivery which is the delivery charges that are also paid by the customers

Zomato typically charges a 15%-22% commission per order exclusive of payment gateway charges and GST. Swiggy's charges, on the other hand, range between 9%-22% per order depending on the average order value (AOV) with a higher AOV attracting lower commission

Food Delivery Aggregators surcharge including Taxes averages between 41.55% in Metro Cities and Tier 1 Cities. 😂

The popular narrative currently seems to be that lower prices imply Zomato/Swiggy are over-charging but the reality is, despite significant scale, steady rise in take-rates and acute cost focus, both are barely making any profits

food delivery apps are ‘looting‘ the customers, as many accuse them of so readily But how difficult the business model of food aggregators is, it’s to show that customers are paying a hefty premium ranging from 10 per cent to 50 per cent depending on the outlet they are ordering from.

AND NOW WITH ALL THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES TOPPING UP EVERY NOW & THEN just like the multiple top-ups on Ice cream 

So what exactly should be done?

Best Is Home Cooked Meals & others times the below feasible alternate options

Simple. Just don't use these Apps except when there is a loot

You have restaurants near your house - visit the Restaurants and get your own Take Away

Visit Restaurants and Have a Dine in Experience

Use the Chains own Delivery service

😌

My prediction for Zomato stock: It will go down by 18% by end of this month  😉

Swiggy will be following soon. Anyways, GST on food, Double GST on food online ordering, swach bharat tax + extra monthly charges by garbage collectors again on top of various municipality taxes (and garbage and cow poops still all over the roads) increasing monthly price tags on electricity, gas , etc etc. All these goes to govt's pockets.

It was hard to not get tempted by their Gold offering at Rs 149 for 3 months and I uninstalled their app already.
Finally Good Riddance. 
Swiggy One seems better option now at Rs 249 for 3 months.

most of the times, their delivery charges more than market rate per KM, even if hotel near by they levy as far distance

Time to uninstall zomato.

It's too much now. 

Tax on food Is 5% and on platform fee 18%😳

Now it's the time yo eat healthy home cooked food

In addition to this, they are such an unethical company. They sold Gold for ₹349, then next day for ₹249 and then suddenly at ₹49. No word on how they will compensate people who purchased at the higher prices!
