“No more passing the phone around awkwardly to collect everyone’s order We’re gradually rolling it out to all customers as we speak. In case the feature is available to you, please use it for your house party tonight, and tell us how it goes,” he added.
How It Works?
Once you create a group order, Zomato generates a link that you can share with your friends or family. Each person clicks on the link, reviews the menu, and adds their items to the cart. No more passing phones around or dealing with confusion about who ordered what. It’s all handled in one streamlined process.
Netizens Reaction
An X user responded, “Keep one day as a holiday. Let everyone cook at home. India is already in a health emergency.”
Another user added, “I see that your PM is solving 1 problem each week. Aisa PM Har startup ko mile.”
And payment ??
One will do or each one can do at self end for self order

“@deepigoyal Can the upto 10km free delivery on Zomato Gold be bought back? It’s now upto 7km which significantly reduced my food orderings as many of my fav resturants has a distance of more than 7km,” added another user.
A feature where I can order from 2 restaurants in ONE order. For instance, biryani from Meghana Foods and ice cream from Corner House. In Jayanagar, Bangalore they are within 300 meters. Geo locate all possible restaurant options in the route and suggest.
