INTRODUCTION

1.1. INTRODUCTION
Zomato is an online discovery guide for restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs and eateries.
Registered users must submit reviews and rate (on a scale of 1-5 stars) restaurants
based on their choice, visit and experience. The website helps to identify a
restaurant/bar/club based on whether or not it has air conditioning, smoking area, Wi-
Fi internet, bachelor entrance, live shows and outdoor terrace or non-vegetarian food
and alcohol. Zomato also provides information about the food on offer, opening hours,
the approximate cost of a meal for two people, whether credit cards are accepted or
not.
"10-min Food delivery"
Zomato attracted a lot of attention with controversies after their CEO announced 10-
minute food delivery. Questions have arisen among consumers and delivery partners,
how this is possible without jeopardizing the safety of delivery teams and whether it
does not harm the quality of the delivered food.
Zomato was founded as Foodie Bay in 2008 and was renamed Zomato on January
18, 2010 as Zomato Media Pvt. Ltd. In 2011, it expanded to Delhi NCR, Mumbai,
Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad in India. In 2012, the
company expanded its operations internationally to several countries, including
the United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka, Qatar, the United Kingdom, the Philippines,
and South Africa. In 2013, it expanded to New Zealand, Turkey, Brazil and
Indonesia, and websites and apps are available in Turkish, Portuguese, Indonesian
and English. It launched in Portugal in April 2014, followed by Canada, Lebanon
and Ireland in 2015.2015. In 2010, the company acquired Seattle-based food
portal Urban spoon, which led to the company's entry into the United States and
Australia.
This US expansion put Zomato in direct competition with the likes of Yelp and
Foursquare. When Domains launched in 2011, Zomato also launched a Zomato
website dedicated to food porn.

In May 2012, it launched a print version of the "Citibank Zomato Restaurant
Guide" in partnership with Citibank, but was later discontinued.2017. In February
2018, the company announced plans to launch Zomato Infrastructure, a service
that helps restaurants expand their operations. presence without fixed costs. In
September 2017, Zomato claimed to have "turned profitable" in all 24 countries
where it operated and launched a "zero-commission model" for partner
restaurants. In late 2017, Zomato stopped accepting updates from its active users
because it did not use moderators to review and make updates. Users of the app
reported issues with the new features related to paying for orders. Zomato
narrowed its loss by 34% to ₹ 389 crore in the 2016-17 financial year, compared
to590.1 crore in the previous year in 2015- 16. Zomato became a unicorn in
February 2018.In September 2019, the company laid off nearly 10% of its
workforce (540 people), which was focused on back-end functions such as
customer service, merchants and delivery partner support functions. In April
2020, due to increased demand for online shopping during the COVID-19
pandemic, the company launched its food delivery service Zomato Market in over
80 cities across India. In April 2020, Zomato launched contactless dining to
prepare for the post. - Open world, removal of touch-sensitive elements such as
menu, order and bill payment with barcodes or application when employees wear
masks.2020. in May 2018, Zomato laid off an additional 520 employees due to
the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the fact that demand from restaurants and
takeaway food services has increased, Zomato cites the cuts as an economic
downturn following the coronavirus, which could hit orders.
In August 2020, Zomato was praised for introducing a periodic leave policy that
allows female employees to take up to 10 days of leave per year if they are unable
to work due to the health effects of menstruation. Rules also apply to transgender
employees. Zomato went public on July 23, 2021 and opened its IPO at ₹72-76
per share.

B. Geographical Coverage:
By 2011, Zomato had also reached Chennai and Hyderabad. In 2011, Zomato also
launched apps for iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry devices. In
September 2012, Zomato expanded to its first overseas location, launching the service
in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This was followed by rapid expansion into Sri Lanka,
Qatar, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, South Africa, New Zealand and more
recently Brazil, Turkey and Indonesia.
Zomato provides information, menus and user reviews about restaurants and food
delivery from partner restaurants in selected cities.

1.4: SWOT ANALYSIS:
• Strength
• Weakness
• Opportunities
• Threats
Strengths
1. First mover advantage: One of the most upper hands of Zomato is that it is
course, there is likewise retreats and elective downturns which may impact the
business. Be that as it may, generally speaking, this industry is going to remain
around consistently and is basically going to develop with rising discretionary
cash flow.
3. Fast expansion: It's thankful that Zomato has turned out to be progressively
for its application plan and for its easy-to-understand nature. The App
configuration is shocking and it causes you find eateries close by just as in the
region which you are going to visit.
application. Simultaneously, the site additionally has ninety million guests every
month approx. With such a significant number of clients utilizing the application
11
and site, there are more inputs and thus greater likelihood of discovering better
eateries.
Weakness
1. Security issues for the application: A noteworthy issue for Zomato in the
past has been some wellbeing issues because of which the application was
hacked and in ay event 17 million client’s information was replicated. Such
wellbeing issues are a bad dream for web ventures.
2. Still a ton of extension required: Considering that the application has set-up
in 24 nations, there is great development. And yet, the application has been set up
7 years back and with the measure of financing available for Zomato, the
extension can be much brisk. It is enabling different administrations to create
themselves in this specialty before it arrives at their region.
3. Word of mouth and Facebook registration: Besides such applications, in
Opportunities
2. More acquisitions: There are and were numerous little open in this
space. Zomato can obtain a significant number of its rivals and
simultaneously, it needs to keep a look on the tech organization and
12
addition any tech development it can get its hands on to continue
developing.
Threats
1. Google's blueprint module: One of the significant dangers Zomato faces right
presently is the Schema module of Google wherein google areas itself is getting
in café counsel. Indeed, even google landing page demonstrates the google maps
pagewhere you can chase for eateries inside your territory. Google being such a
major association, Zomato faces enormous challenge from them.
13
1.5: STATEMENT OF PROBLEM:
In this growing world of technology, online food delivery has become an essential part
of people's lives. The concept of food system has changed and made people
conveniently order food anytime with a few clicks. This system will revolutionize the
current restaurant. Consumer preference is the main motivating factor that encourages
entrepreneurs to enjoy online delivery services. In the case of intensive urbanization,
large quantities of food pass through the systems. As India's population is changing,
the industry is growing in different cities to study and work, the busyness of both
spouses in the family is feeding the demand for online food ordering to continue to
evolve and grow. It's a growing trend, especially in urban areas and college campuses,
that allows you to order at restaurants. The purpose of this study is to measure
customer expectations and satisfaction with college students' food delivery application
Zomato. This study also analyzes the factors that attract consumers to Zomato.
14
1.2. NEED FOR THE STUDY:
A successful product and brand strategy develops brand awareness and an identity that
differentiates your product from countless others based on the brand name alone. A
well-planned strategy will repeatedly remind potential and current customers why they
should buy your product over others with similar features.
A sound branding strategy will help you communicate more clearly with your
customers. The more consistently you communicate, the more likely you are to attract
and retain loyal customers. This not only ensures continuity for your customers, but
also focuses on employees.
Brokers recommend investors to join Zomato Ltd. With the IPO, the company hopes
to capitalize on a strong brand name, further expansion in India's burgeoning food
delivery market and growing adoption of smartphones to facilitate online ordering. ,
among others.
Brand Scope or Brand Framework: The set of products, services,
communications and actions that stakeholders expect from an organization. People
limit what they expect from a brand.
A brand is a set of perceptions rooted in reality but reflecting consumer perceptions
and perhaps even quirks. Ultimately, a brand is something that lives in the minds of
consumers. Consequently, the scope of branding expands across borders.
Consumer expectations and satisfaction may vary in different situations. Based on
this research, we will have a better understanding of the online food delivery market.

CONCLUSION
Foods have now become a big sensation in India. There are many grocery stores in
India that can be easily downloaded from home using a smartphone to order food on
the go. The study helped identify the factors that influenced customers to choose
Zomato. It has been observed that the social media platform is not being used properly.
The Facebook page should be more active in communicating with consumers.
Zomato also needs to keep innovating. New features should be added, such as a virtual
tour of restaurants. You can add live videos of cafes/bars when a famous band plays
there. A brand should build on its most used features.
This is to ensure that the authenticity of the reviews is maintained. The company
should focus on providing food products with respectable quality and quantity, and
should also focus on increasing promotional activities through more advertisements
and social media. Paid reviews should not be encouraged as it dilutes the brand.
Zomato produced 2,000,000 online eateries in one month with an advertising spend of
less than$50,000 per month.
The online survey has enormous obligations to the Zomato fund, because the normal
referral percentage is almost 8.5% (according to requests forwarded by restaurants)
and as of now, the organization estimates that the unit's finances are terribly positive
and the net request advantage is about 55. %.
