Swiggy, an on-demand food delivery platform that brings food from neighborhood restaurants directly to users’ doors, announced that it is offering affordable lending products, training tools, discounted ad spots, and economical food packaging material to help its restaurant partners to resume operations.
Swiggy has also activated bi-weekly payment options to enable smooth cash flows for partners, it said.
Swiggy said its ‘Jumpstart Package’ will be maximized for restaurants with higher hygiene ratings to incentivize strict adherence to safety and hygiene protocols. A push towards enabling visual assurances for customers through photos and videos of hygiene protocols in play has been integrated into the package.
“Building on these efforts, ensuring business revival, continuity, and growth for restaurant partners will be absolutely crucial to enabling Swiggy and the industry to overcome this challenging phase,” said Paul Varghese, vice-president of Supply at Swiggy.
“To revive our business to pre-Covid days, Swiggy is also offering discounts from their end for the outlet, ensuring the highest safety standards as this is a new normal,” said Kanwaljit Singh from Amrit Sweets in Chandigarh. “This has helped us to reduce the cost of doing a business indirectly and better our bottom line.”
Recently, Zomato waived all fees from its contactless dining product including payment gateway charge. Also, the company raised money to support restaurant partners to disburse employee salaries amid lockdown.
