Zomato ₹2 Platform Fee Introduced

Zomato has started levying ₹2 as platform fee on every order to select customers as it is currently in the testing phase. Select Zomato Gold users also compulsorily paid this platform fee irrespective of restaurant, order value, etc.

Few months back, Swiggy came up with a similar ₹2 platform fee to boost revenue and overcome losses. Zomato said, “This is in an experiment phase right now, and we may or may not scale.” Thus, it is possible that this platform fee may be eradicated because for frequent Zomato users it might be a point of concern.

Zomato started this ₹2 platform fee soon after its 1st ever quarterly profit of ₹2 crore (revenue up by 64%) for the June quarter. However, Zomato’s CFO Akshant Goyal said, “So, it’s a business call. We are aware of that and I think we’ll take a call when we think it’s right for business. At this point, we haven’t done that. There is no platform fee on our platform.”
