How Zomato’s ‘Food Rescue’ will work, what’s in it for delivery workers, restaurants

Zomato has launched a new feature – called Food Rescue – that will allow customers to buy a cancelled order at a discounted rate, a fix the company says could work towards reducing food wastage.

Every month, around 4 lakh food orders on their way to the customers are cancelled on Zomato, as per the company. With the new feature, which is currently being scaled up, such cancelled orders will show up on the Zomato app of nearby users, who can purchase them at a lower value, in its original packaging, the company’s CEO Deepinder Goyal said in a post on X on Sunday.
