Preface
Technical study is incomplete without the practical knowledge. No doubt theory provides
the fundamental stone for the guidance of practice examines the element of truth lying in
the theory.

There is a well-known proverb “without practical knowledge no one can achieve


success”. It is like “experience is the best teacher” on that base we can say, a person
who wants to be successful in the life she has to have knowledge about theoretical as well
as practical knowledge and step into the giant world.

Practice make man prefect as it said that study with knowledge you know only theoretical
work and with experience you know that exact practical functioning and meaning.

I am obliged to represent my dissertation report on “Consumer decision making


variables on Zomato”. The dissertation report is all about a survey conducted of several
respondents who are users of Zomato and then carried out further analysis,
interpretation and prepared a detailed report.

Acknowledgement
I frequently say that “Knowledge is Power”. But this statement is true only when we
apply our knowledge in practical things. To achieve this, our college, N R Institute of
Business Management, provided us the opportunity to work with real industry. I am
declaring our humble thanks to my college for providing such opportunities to the
students.
I am thankful and obliged to Director Dr. Hitesh Ruparel and my internal guide Prof.
Jaineel Shah and all the faculty members of NRIBM for providing all the necessary
support from their side. Without their continuous guidance and support, it would have
been difficult for us to complete the project on time and in such a successful manner.

1.1 Introduction of Online Food Delivery

Online food ordering is the process of food delivery or takeout from a local restaurant or
food cooperative through a web page or app. Much like ordering consumer goods online,
many of these services allow customers to keep accounts with them in order to make
frequent ordering convenient. A customer will search for a favorite restaurant, usually
filtered via type of cuisine and choose from available items, and choose delivery or pick-
up. Payment can be amongst others either by credit card, debit card, online payment or
cash, with the restaurant returning a percentage to the online food company.

The e-services market segment Online Food Delivery contains the user and revenue
development of two different delivery service solutions for prepared meals:
(1) Restaurant-to-Consumer Delivery
(2) Platform-to-Consumer Delivery
Revenue includes the gross merchandise value (GMV) which is defined as the total sales
dollar value for merchandise/food sold through the Online Food Delivery marketplace.

Online Food Delivery comprises services which deliver prepared meals and food that was
ordered online for direct consumption. The Restaurant-to-Consumer Delivery segment
includes the delivery of meals carried out directly by the restaurants. The order may be
made via platforms or directly through a restaurant website (e.g. Domino's,).

The Platform-to-Consumer Delivery market segment focuses on online delivery services


that provide customers with meals from partner restaurants that do not necessarily have to
offer food delivery themselves. In this case, the platform (e.g. Zomato, Swiggy, Uber
eats) handles the delivery process.

1.2 Introduction of the Industry

1.2.1 History of Online Food Delivery Industry

The first online food order was a pizza from Pizza Hut in 1994. The first online food
ordering service, World Wide Waiter (now known as Waiter.com), was founded in
1995. The site originally serviced only northern California, later expanding to several
additional cities in the United States. By the late 2000s, major pizza chains had created
their own mobile applications and started doing 20-30% of their business online. With
increased smartphone penetration, and the growth of both Uber and the sharing economy,
food delivery startups started to receive more attention. Instacart was founded in 2012.] In
2013, Seamless and Grubhub merged.By 2015, online ordering began overtaking phone
ordering. As of September 2016, online delivery accounted for about 3 percent of the 61
billion U.S. restaurant transactions.

1.2.2 Online Food Service in India

A decade back eating out had not been a prominent feature in an Indian’s life but over the
years, due to changing consumption pattern, eating out has gained momentum. This
changing pattern has ensured constant growth for the Indian Food Services market.
India’s Food Services market has come a long way from early 1980’s when the number
of organized brands were countable and the market otherwise was dominated by un-
organized players. The revolution in this sector began in 1996 with the opening up of
restaurants by

3|Pag NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, and Domino’s followed by Subway, Haldiram’s, Moti Mahal
and Barbeque Nation etc. E-commerce in India is expected to grow from US $2.9 billion
in 2013 to a mammoth US $100 billion by 2020, making it the fastest growing e-
commerce market in the world! E-commerce is also witnessing a spurt in online food &
restaurant service companies, which is expected to reach $2.7 billion by 2019. This white
paper explores drivers of the growth of such online food delivery companies in India, the
current competition and how this affects the brick-and-mortar restaurant business in
India. Here’s a look at the supply and demand drivers for online quick food services.

1.6 Market Size in India

The meaning of foodtech has evolved over the years. Earlier, it referred to food
processing and the technology used for its manufacturing. Now, it pertains to the online
food ordering and delivery services market. Adequate funding and investments in this
market space have enabled companies to provide online food delivery services that have
never been seen before.

The popularity of online food delivery service can be attributed to the several benefits it
provides, such as food delivered to the doorstep of the customer, various payment
options, attractive discounts, rewards, and cashback offers. Restaurants and cafes also
find it profitable to sell their food through online mediums since it reduces a significant
amount of operational overheads. College students, working couples and office goers are
the key target audience of foodtech companies.
More than 80% of the orders that come on these online food delivery platforms are from
the top five Indian cities, out of the 20 where they are active. The report online food
delivery market in India (2018-2023) takes a look at the current market scenario, its
segmentations, drivers and deterrents of growth, investments, the competitive landscape,
and recent developments.

 Revenue in the Online Food Delivery segment amounts to US$8,167m in 2019.


 Revenue is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2019-2023) of 9.1%,
resulting in a market volume of US$11,569m by 2023.
 The market's largest segment is Restaurant-to-Consumer Delivery with a market
volume of US$7,477m in 2019.
 In global comparison, most revenue is generated in China (US$38,411m in 2019).

1.7 Pestle Analysis:
Figure: 1.3

Political

Any business firm wishing to enter the overseas market is highly prone to political risks.
The political decisions made by a host country are likely to affect the organisational
productivity and profitability. Extreme political actions can very detrimental. The digital
India campaign that was recently launched by the country's Prime Minister Narendra
Modi is more likely to allow the company to get more internet penetration in India and
everyone can easily access from every corner of the market. Zomato can exploit this
opportunity to cover many restaurants of cities using the Digital India Campaign. The
Indian government puts more focus on ease of doing business in the country because it
encourages foreign direct investment. In this regard, Zomato can be a beneficiary with
such kinds of investment. The government puts emphasis on skill development among
the youths who will eventually help many people with skills and knowledge. Zomato
requires skilled people to enable it to penetrate and establish itself in the market. In this
case, Zomato can hire skilled people from the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana
program that develops skills of the youths.

8|Pag NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


Economic
Between the periods of 2011 and 2014, Zomato achieved an overwhelming growth by
1399%. This comes as a result of its tremendous achievements in 22 countries, thus,
contributing effectively to economies of the countries. Besides, there is a potential rise in
service prices after the country announced a service tax from 12.36% to 14%. This move
is likely to affect the economic well-being of Zomato. Furthermore, the company is
initiating cashless transaction aimed at creating jobs in different countries. As it stands,
the company has 2319 employees, and it has somehow managed to solve the
unemployment problems in the country. Lastly, the company attracts several investments
as well as funding from the government and foreign investment, all of which are good for
the country's economy.

Socio- Cultural

In the last six years, Zomato has turned out to be the country's favourite online restaurant
discovery tool. However, it has influenced the manner in which individuals select their
preferred restaurants. The changing lifestyle patterns and income levels of the Indian
working population, and this is advantageous to Zomato. This is because many young
people and new age working couples like eat out, with this category attracting about 30%
in 2012. For this reason, user engagement in its website is therefore critical for customer
participation. Finally, customer service Zomato has been amazing and going by the
friendly replies from the customers, the company has managed to maintain customer
loyalty. As a dimension of social engagement with people, Zomato stays ahead over its
competitors.

Technological

Zomato has enjoyed a greater advantage by using technology in designing a beautiful


user interface that makes it easier for the users to browse. One advantage that Zomato
continues to enjoy out of this kind of technological innovation is that the service is much
faster despite the fact that the high resolution is needed for the menus. In essence, the
technology encourages online services. For example, incorporating what the restaurant
into mobile app helps the customers to select the restaurant on the go. The restaurant
information is customised in a manner that the customer to obtain the information he or
9|Pag NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]
she needs without

10 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


necessarily making a hassle. Technology also makes the company have a good business
model that keeps the customers' information. The only thing a customer is required to do
is to log and use the service. This move exposes the company to a competitive
environment with the likes Google. However, since the product is purely made to for
Indian restaurants, it cannot serve the demands of the global market. Therefore, Zomato
has used technology effectively to achieve competitive advantage

Environmental

Achieving business sustainability is dependent on how the company addresses the


ecological requirements and in online food delivery business these days all major players
come up together to work for environmental welfare. Bengaluru-based food ordering and
delivery platform Swiggy has announced the launch of ‘Swiggy Packaging Assist’, a new
initiative that will help restaurant partners access a range of innovative packaging
solutions.. Also, Gurugram-based restaurant search and discovery service Zomato has
expressed its concern over the environmental hazards caused due to plastic packaging. It
has introduced a new feature in their app that enables customers to opt out of cutlery
when they order, thereby reducing the use of plastic.

Legal

The company is required by the Indian law to comply with all regulations that control
technology firms in the country. This ensures that it is used effectively without being
subjected to abuse. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued
revised guidelines that directly impact online food and grocery operators such as Grofers
and BigBasket as well as food delivery platforms like Swiggy and Zomato. The national
food regulator said it's stepping up scrutiny of ecommerce food companies because there
can be no compromise on last-mile delivery and safety of food products. Food products
offered for sale are liable to sampling at any point in the supply chain. Companies will
also need to provide an indicative image of the food on their platforms so that consumers
can recognise the product. All mandatory information mentioned in the Food Safety and
Standards (FSS) Act will also have to be provided to consumers before purchase and only
fresh food should be delivered to consumers.

1.8 Porter’s Five Forces Model:
Figure: 1.4

Threat from Substitutes

Zomato is of the strong belief that their focus on restaurant discovery and facilitating a
holistic dining experience gives them an edge over competition. As Deepinder Goyal,
founder, Zomato, says, Zomato is driven to constantly improve our product within the
space with a small margin of error. Zomato realizes that it is a winner-takes-all and is
therefore focused on dominating the competition within its space.

Google Maps - Latest release of Google Maps for desktops includes listings of
restaurants in the neighborhood. It also facilitates restaurant search and provides photos,
reviews, ratings and even the floor the business is located at. Zomato’s advantage over
Maps is that Maps hasn’t started menu listings yet.

Local Competition- FoodPanda and swiggy- FoodPanda gained first mover advantage
by launching the online order facility earlier than Zomato, thus resulting in Zomato losing
relevant market share

JustDial- JustDial offers a wide range of restaurant listings; however, it loses out against
Zomato as it doesn’t have an equivalent collection of reviews, photos and user
engagement.

12 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


Also, in the minds of consumers, Zomato offers a specialized and differentiated service
thus making it a natural choice.

Global Competition- Yelp-Basic difference between Yelp and Zomato is that while
Yelp publishes crowd-sourced reviews, organizes social events and provides basic data
about businesses, Zomato provides information (photos, menus and geographic
coordinates) and allows users to create their own network of foodies for personalized
recommendations. The flipside for Zomato: Total number of unique monthly visitors to
Yelp is a staggering 139 million, amounting to four times Zomato’s existing traffic of 35
million. In terms of revenue, Zomato earned $6 million in revenue compared to Yelp’s
$232 million in 2014. Timeout- Founded in 1968, it has become a global authority on
entertainment and events all across the world. With a reach to 39 million people, it has a
huge market share, however is more known for providing information on events and
happenings than restaurant listings and reviews Since majority of users check rating and
not reviews, it is very important to maintain fair ratings on the website.

Competitive Rivalry-

Foodpanda– foodpanda who has also acquired TastyKhana and JustEat is a competitor
to Zomato in this marketspace. But, as per one of interviews with Mr. Deepinder Goyal,
Zomato doesn’t consider it as a threat because foodpanda in spite of being present in
market for 3 years has clocked only 10,000 orders a day whereas people visiting Zomato
has 1, 00,000 searches a day. Zomato’s large sales team gives an added advantage to
Zomato.

Burrp! – Burrp! is a competitor to Zomato. But due to its expansion from restaurant
listing to other divisions such as events and retail outlets, the company’s focus has been
distributed whereas Zomato has stuck to its core functions.

TinyOwl – TinyOwl is an emerging start-up with business model of food ordering


through App on smart phones. It is currently present in Bangalore, Mumbai, Gurgaon,
Hyderabad and Pune.

Swiggy- Swiggy is a food ordering and delivery company based out of Bangalore, India.
Swiggy was inspired by the thought of providing a complete food ordering and delivery
13 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]
solution from the best neighbourhood restaurants to the urban foodie. A single window
for ordering from a wide range of restaurants, they have our own exclusive fleet of
delivery personnel to pick up orders from restaurants and deliver it to customers. Having
their own fleet gives them the flexibility to offer customers a no minimum order policy
on any restaurant and accept online payments for all partner restaurants that they work
with. Our delivery personnel carry one order at a time which ensures they get reliable and
fast deliveries.

UberEATS- On-demand cab hailing services firm Uber on Tuesday launched a new food
delivery service named UberEATS to rival services offered by Zomato, foodpanda and
Swiggy. Food prices are set by restaurant partners according to their own menu and
there’s a delivery fee of Rs 15, inclusive of taxes. There is no minimum order size.
Barriers to Entry – Barriers to entry are very high as there are already major players
established in market. Zomato is very well established and market leader. There are other
players such as foodpanda, TinyOwl and ubereats, which have already having decent
market share.

Bargaining power of buyers

 Presence of various competitor apps in the market means that it is easy for the
buyers to switch to other apps like food panda, swiggy, ubereats.
 With improving features, and upgrades such as food ordering, people may switch
to other apps offering better features.
 Since it is easy-to-use online platform, constraints related to distribution is
eliminated. This removes a potential factor for bargaining of buyers

Bargaining power of suppliers

 For Zomato the suppliers are the restaurants with which the company makes a
collaboration and deliver the food of that particular restaurant to the end
customer.
 As these days there are many online food delivery businesses available in the
market thus, restaurants have the ability to partner with any of the major food

14 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


delivery services with fairly low switching cost hence it makes the bargaining
power of supplier strong.

Threat of new entrants

Advanced technologies:

This is another area where Zomato has taken huge strides. As mentioned earlier in the
technological analysis, the app and website are aesthetically beautiful and the whole
experience is enriching! Thus new entrants will have to come up with an overhaul of the
whole strategy as far as application and technological advancements are concerned.
Innovation in technology positively affects Zomato.

Industry affects economies of Scale:

Economies of scale positively affects large producer by lowering the cost of the next unit
of output at lower cost. Thus it is relatively easier and economical for Zomato to expand
at a faster pace. Any new entrant will have to pump in a lot of investment to challenge
Zomato because they will have smaller economies of scale. However, this is one area
where if the new entrant can generate enough capital they can challenge Zomato on the
ground level even though economies of scale are tilted towards Zomato.

Strong Brand Name:

A brand name is a must to survive in the industry. Zomato has been very effective in the
past few years. However, they have been late in entering the ordering segment and Food
Panda has taken effective strides in the same. Any new competitors will need to work
extensively on their brand value in order to effectively compete. Thus this threat is low
for Zomato however they need to constantly innovate in different verticals to ensure that
they build on the advantage that they have created.

15 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


Geographical Factors affecting Competition:

Food Panda is present in 200 Indian cities and has made huge strides in the recent past
however it is still considerably lagging Zomato in terms of territory covered as Zomato
has presence not only in huge number of Indian cities but also in different countries and
they are taking strides very fast. Tying up with restaurants and getting the information
organized in the way Zomato has done is a huge challenge for any new entrant. However,
seeing the pace at which Zomato has reached out and expanded it seems possible and
thus Zomato will have to constantly maintain that advantage and keep coming out with
new and innovative models.

CHAPTER 2

COMPANY PROFILE

17 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


2.1 Introduction of company

Zomato is a restaurant search and discovery app and website, providing in-depth
information about restaurants. Zomato is used by consumers globally to discover, rate
and review restaurants, as well as create their own personal network of foodies for trusted
recommendations. In addition to restaurant search and discovery, it has expanded its
offering to include Online Ordering, Table Reservations, a Whitelabel Platform and a
Point-of-Sale system, creating the technology to connect restaurant businesses and
customers.

2.2 History of Brand Zomato

Zomato, which started as Foodiebay, was established in July 2008 by two IIT Delhi
alumnus, Deepinder Goyal, and Pankaj Chaddah. The idea struck Deepinder when his
colleagues consistently had a demand for paper menu leaflets of different restaurants, to
order food. That's when he thought of converting these restaurant paper menus into a
digital app, which is far more accessible and easier to use. The online food delivery space
in India is dominated by two big players- Zomato and Swiggy. There are other players
like Foodpanda, JustEat, TastyKhana and FoodMingo but the competition for the No 1
position is majorly confined between Zomato and Swiggy, backed by big global investors
and a large user base.

Zomato started as the website Foodiebay.com, by Deepinder Goyal, a post-graduate from


IIT Delhi. Foodiebay officially started in July 2008 with a list of 1,200 restaurants in the
Delhi NCR region. This database expanded to 2,000 restaurants by end 2008. Expanded
its reach to Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore and Pune within the next six months That is
when Info Edge (India), the parent company of the Naukri.com group, invested 4.7 crore
(US$1 million) in the business. In November 2010, Foodiebay.com was renamed
Zomato.com. The brand name was changed due to a possible move outside of the food
vertical and also to avoid a possible conflict with eBay, because the earlier brand name
Foodiebay contained ‘ebay’ in it.

Between 2010 and 2013, Zomato received its biggest funding of approximately USD 16.7
million (INR 167, 000, 00) from “Info Edge India”. This gave them a 57.9% stake in the
company. In the November 2013, another lucky round of funding got a new investor to
pitch in- Sequoia Capital. They with Info Edge took the total sum of that round to USD
37 million.
In a fresh round a year later, Info Edge, Sequoia, and a new investor- Vy Capital raised
USD 60 million for the company. The total funding of Zomato by the beginning of 2015,
was a promising USD 113 million. In 2015, along with the 3 initial investors, Temasek- a
Singapore based investment company, also pitched in, bringing in USD 110 million for
that year.
2016 was a slow year for the company in terms of funding, but 2017 picked the pace up
again with WhatsApp’s Neeraj Arora adding to the list of investors and raising a
conservative USD 20 million. This racked up the total funding of Zomato to USD 223.8
million since its founding in 2008.
With the most recent rounds of funding, things started looking peachy for the company in
March 2018, especially with Alibaba’s Ant Financial coming into the picture with a
whopping USD 150 million.

Acquisitions:

Zomato has acquired 12 startups globally. In July 2014, Zomato made its first acquisition
by buying Menu-mania for an undisclosed sum. The company pursued other acquisitions
such as lunchtime.cz and obedovat.sk for a combined US$3.25 million. In September
2014, Zomato acquired Poland-based restaurant search service Gastronauci for an
undisclosed sum. Three months later, it acquired Italian restaurant search service
Cibando.

Zomato acquired Seattle-based food portal Urbanspoon for an estimated $60 million in
2015. Other acquisitions of 2015 include Mekanist in an all-cash deal, the Delhi based
startup MapleGraph that built MaplePOS (renamed as Zomato Base, and NexTable, a
US- based table reservation and restaurant management platform.

19 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


In 2016, the company acquired Sparse Labs, a logistics technology startup and the food
delivery startup, Runnr, in 2017.

In September 2018, Zomato acquired Bengaluru-based food e-marketplace TongueStun


Food for about $18 million in a cash and stock deal.

Growth:

As funding started picking up the pace in 2010, Zomato’s presence across India did too.
By 2011 the company after establishing a monopoly in Delhi NCR moved to cities like
Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Ahmadabad.

It kept pace with the smartphone boom too, by introducing its mobile app at this point in
time. The company in order to keep up with its hip brand image and humor its audiences
launched a .xxx domain which had pictures strictly dedicated to food porn.

By 2012, overseas operations of Zomato started operating in full gear with the UAE, Sri
Lanka, Qatar, United Kingdom, Philippines, and South Africa becoming a part of its user
base. In 2013, countries like Turkey, Brazil, and New Zealand were also added to the list.
While its expansion was happening in full force, Zomato also started acquiring foreign-
based companies to maximize its business. In 2013 it acquired Portuguese company
Gastronauci and the Italian service Cibando. A big acquisition came in when they got a
hold of the American service called NexTable which catapulted Zomato into the US
market’s competition.

About the Founders:

Zomato was founded by Deepinder Goyal and Pankaj Chaddah, both of whom are from
IIT, Delhi. Deepinder Goyal currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at

2.3 SWOT ANALYSIS
Figure: 2.1

Strength:

First mover advantage – One of the best competitive advantages of Zomato is that it is
the first mover in many of the nations where it is establishing itself. Directories and other
forms of restaurant ratings might exist. But as an app Zomato is excellent and many
countries (like India) have loved the usability of the Zomato app.

Evergreen industry – The restaurant industry is an evergreen industry. Sure, there may
be recessions and other downturns which might affect the industry. But overall, this
industry is going to stick around at all times and is only going to grow with rising
disposable income.

Fast Expansion – It is appreciative that Zomato has expanded so fast. It is already in 24


countries and is expanding year on year.

Fantastic design of the app – Zomato has regularly won awards for its app design and
for its user-friendliness. The App design is fantastic and it helps you discover restaurants
nearby as well as in an area you are going to visit.

21 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


Number of users – Zomato has a huge number of users using their app. At the same
time, the site also has 90 million visitors a month approximately. With so many users
following the app and site, there are more reviews and hence more chances to find better
restaurants.

Focused approach – The brand has a much focused approach and has always tried to
bring the most of out of its unique offering. It is well connected with restaurants and
regularly takes feedback from customers as well as restaurants. This focused approach
has also helped the brand image and reputation of the firm.

Excellent funding available – Zomato has picked multiple rounds of funding over the
years and because it is now so well established in many countries, there is a lot of funding
available for the app.

Multiple acquisitions – Zomato has acquired multiple companies most of which are
software or technology related.

Fantastic marketing – You can find Zomato working for its own marketing offline as
well as online. Its print ads are hilarious and make an immediate connect with the
audience. It is strong on Social media marketing and uses a combination of ATL and
BTL strategies to attract and retain customers.

Weaknesses:

Security issues for the app – A major issue for Zomato in the past has been some
security issues due to which the app was hacked and at least 17 million users’ data was
copied. Such security issues are a nightmare for internet companies.

Still a lot of expansion required – Considering that the app has established in 24
countries, there is good expansion. But at the same time, the app has been started 7 years
back and with the amount of funding available for Zomato, the expansion can be much
faster. It is allowing other services to establish themselves in this niche before it reaches
their country.

22 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


Word of mouth and Facebook check-ins – Besides such apps, in many places word of
mouth still trumps apps and at the same time, Facebook check-ins are a strong competitor
wherein people might not need Zomato. Thus, it is an app for early adopters but
definitely not for laggards.

Opportunities:

Further expansion – The number 1 opportunity for Zomato is to expand to more


countries and establish its base faster. Service industry has a major problem that services
can be copied very fast and very easily. As a result, it is critical for Zomato to establish
and expand itself faster.

More acquisitions – There are and were many small players in this space. Zomato can
acquire several of its competitors and at the same time, it has to keep an eye on the tech
industry and acquire any tech innovation it can get its hands on to keep on rising.

Cloud restaurants – Zomato is coming up with the concept of Cloud restaurants wherein
restaurants will not have to get a physical space to actually sell their food products.
Instead, they can sell from Zomato.

Creating a community – Zomato does have a huge following but the users do not
interact with each other. Creating a forum and a community out of the users already
following Zomato can be a huge benefit for the brand.

Adoption of the internet and Smartphones – There is a huge increase in the adoption
of Internet across developing and underdeveloped countries as well. Similarly, adoption
of smartphone has also increased. Thus more and more orders and research about
restaurants can happen online instead of through physical visits.

Threats:

Google’s schema module – One of the major threats Zomato faces right now is the
Schema module of Google wherein google locations itself is getting in restaurant
recommendations. Even google homepage shows the google maps page where you can
search for restaurants
23 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]
within your locality. Google being such a big brand, zomato faces huge competition from
them.

Market followers and challengers – In the service industry, it is very easy to replicate
the success of another service product or offering. Similarly, marketing followers and
challengers can slowly take away the market share of Zomato. Intense competition from
National and international brands - With expansion to various countries, it now has
competitors like Yelp (revenue $377.5 million) which are much older and bigger than
Zomato. On the other hand, we have small players which are slowly covering ground in
domestic area.

data and information. They have an in-built analytics platform that run a lot of queries
and get valuable information out. Say if a person wants to open a new restaurant, they can

ordering from their Zomato page so users can get a tasty meal delivered at their doorsteps
via Zomato.

Zomato Gold:

Zomato says that Zomato Gold, its loyalty program that gives users discounts when they
visit selected restaurants, now contributes to 12% of its monthly revenue. Given Zomato
Gold was only launched in November last year, its contribution to the company’s overall
FY18 revenues is likely to be lower. But a current 12% monthly revenue contribution
means that going forward, Zomato Gold will likely become a major revenue contributor
for the company. Zomato says that Gold currently has ~160k subscribers, and a 500k
long waiting list.

Zomato Whitelabel:

The Zomato Whitelabel is platform that lets restaurants create their own custom native
apps that are plug and play. This application from the restaurant lets users book a table
through the mobile application. This way the restaurants directly send a notification to the
user. Zomato is looking to expand its power over the restaurants and keep control.

CHAPTER- 3
LITERATURE REVIEW

29 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


(Tran, 14 May 2018): The recent development of the Internet has boosted the extension
of online food services by enabling people to search, compare prices and conveniently
access these services. As of 2016, approximately 95% of the United States population
searched for online food service information at least once, and while in 2015 more than
one-third of Asia-Pacific participants, especially in developing countries, answered that
they looked for and ordered products via the Internet. However, such business raises food
safety and hygiene considerations, particularly in low and middle—income countries
where food systems are heterogeneous and fragmented, with a predominance of small
informal food retailers. Specifically, uncontrolled food processing, packaging and
transferring among small online food retailers can elevate the risk of food contamination
and contribute to food poisoning outbreaks due to the development of several pathogenic
bacteria.

(Nguyen, 2018): The research is based on Consumer Preference and Attitude Regarding
Online and the study emphasized that using the Internet in seeking food service
information was a common practice among people living in Hanoi, Vietnam and online
interpersonal influences took a fundamental part. A high percentage of consumers were
unconcerned about accurate evidence regarding food safety in selecting food products on
the Internet. The conclusion of our findings produces practical pieces of advice to
consumers buying online food, to food retailers selling food over the Internet and to the
Government of Vietnam to implement appropriate legislation regarding online food
product information.

(Gupta, November 29, 2018): The online food delivery market is segmented into fixed
online food delivery and movable online food delivery. On the basis of cuisine-wise, the
market is segmented into Indian food, fast food, Italian food, and others. On the basis of
the business model, the market is segmented into logistics focused food delivery system,
order focused food delivery system and full-service food delivery system. Full-service
food service is useful for small-scale & independent restaurants. On the basis of food
sources, the market is segmented into grocery stores, restaurants & food outlets and
supermarkets etc. In addition, on the basis of the platform, the market is segmented into
the application based and platform based. The market for online food delivery is mainly
driven by rising disposable income. Changing demographics, increasing penetration of
30 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]
internet & smart-

31 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


phones, favorable lifestyle changes, young population, consumption levels, a greater
share of women in the workforce, aggressive marketing strategies adopted by food
startups and the convenience of ordering is increasing significantly which led to the
growth of the market. Apart from the advantages some of the challenges include
unpredictable demand patterns, inability to influence external circumstances (traffic,
weather & changing demand on a daily basis), high delivery cost, highly concentrated
peaks in ordering during meal- times, limited delivery times and kitchen operations etc.

(Das, 2018): According to this research, Zomato has gained positive opinion of majority
of the consumers in comparison to other service providers. It is mainly because of their
better on time delivery and better discounts. Zomato has been in the first position in
online food delivery service provider and if it includes the minor improvements, it will
sustain its upper hand in forthcoming future.The factors that encourages consumers the
most is Doorstep Delivery followed by Ease & Convenience. Consumers are mostly
influenced when they receive any Rewards & Cashbacks followed by Location. Most
preferred online food delivery service provider is Zomato followed by Swiggy, The
factors that prevent consumers to use the online food delivery services are Bad Past
Experience followed by Influence from friends/family.

(Pathan, December 2017): According to the proposed system is based on user’s need
and is user centered. The system is developed in considering all issues related to all user
which are included in this system. Wide range of people can use this if they know how to
operate android smart phone. Various issues related to Mess/Tiffin Service will be solved
by providing them a fullfledged system. Thus, implementation of Online Food Ordering
system is done to help and solve one of the important problems of people. Based on the
result of this research, it can be concluded: It helps customer in making order easily; it
gives information needed in making order to customer. The Food website application
made for restaurant and mess can help restaurant and mess in receiving orders and
modifying its data and it is also made for admin so that it helps admin in controlling all
the Food system. With online food ordering system, a restaurant and mess menu online
can be set up and the customers can easily place order. Also with a food menu online,
tracking the orders is done easily, it maintain customer’s database and improve the food
delivery service. The restaurants and mess can even customize online restaurant menu
and upload images easily. Having a restaurant menu on internet, potential customers can
easily access it and place
32 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]
order at their convenience. Thus, an automated food ordering system is presented with
features of feedback and wireless communication.

(Mohit kumar, 1 may 2017): Online reviews have an important role in consumer
decisions for purchasing products with one survey reporting that 90 percent of individuals
indicated that positive reviews affected their purchase decisions and 80 percent indicated
that negative reviews affected their purchase decisions (Dimensional Research, 2013).
Restaurant reviews are the most commonly searched topic in online reviews with 67
percent of consumers searching for reviews about restaurants (BrightLocal, 2013) and 15
percent indicating that they use online review Web sites every time to search for
restaurant reviews (Ghiselli and Ma, 2015). Although online restaurant reviews are
important to consumers, there appears to be limited research on the topic of how
restaurant reviews influence consumers to choose to purchase at restaurants. One study of
an anonymous Chinese restaurant review Web site found that positive reviews and
greater number of reviews were associated with increased restaurant sales while negative
reviews were associated with decreased restaurant sales (Lu, et al., 2013).

(Ghadiyali, 2017): With continuous influx of professionals in cities and rapid


urbanization of India the food delivery and restaurant segment is now thriving at a
blistering pace. The present study found a significant relationship between factors
considered important while selecting a food delivery app. And from the analysis it was
also found that the facilities offered play a major role in making a purchase from an app.

(Saini, 2016): This study is based on Customer Perception and Satisfaction on Ordering
Food via Internet, It is found from the study that almost all the respondents have easy
access to the Internet, a major percentage of the respondents buy twice or at least once a
week. Most of the respondents are familiar with ordering food online over 3 years.
Overall satisfaction level on the scale of 5 is 3.69 which mean it is somewhat high on
reliability assurance and responsiveness. The study reveals that penetration of online food
ordering services is high. The student users of these services are well versed with the
information available on these websites and also use help services available online.
Raising the service levels could delight the customer but at the same time create more
expectations in the minds of the consumers. This would require more investment from the
company to ensure the desired service level.

.
(Ismail, December 2015): The research is all about Key Success Factors of Online Food
Ordering Services, In this study, attempt was made to identify the key success factors that
lead to loyalty in an online ordering environment. Results suggest that online food
ordering companies have to emphasise on information quality, website design, security,
privacy and payment system towards their customers in order to increase the level of web
trust and satisfaction. The service providers could also enjoy continuous recurring
revenues from the loyal customers if they provide efficient delivery, reliable customer
service and food quality. The results of the empirical study provide support for the
positive relationships between website quality and web trust, service quality and
satisfaction, web trust and loyalty, and satisfaction and loyalty.

(Ahmed, December 2015): In this study, attempt was made to identify the key success
factors that lead to loyalty in an online ordering environment. Results suggest that online
food ordering companies have to emphasise on information quality, website design, and
security/privacy and payment system towards their customers in order to increase the
level of web trust and satisfaction. The service providers could also enjoy continuous
recurring revenues from the loyal customers if they provide efficient delivery, reliable
customer service and food quality. The results of the empirical study provide support for
the positive relationships between website quality and web trust, service quality and
satisfaction, web trust and loyalty, and satisfaction and loyalty.

(Jenvild, 2014): According to the research Indian consumers are demanding more take-
away and home-delivery services. There is much unpenetrated scope in this market, and
successful operators should apply the new preferences and trends in an innovative
manner when developing their home-delivery services. Indians are extremely active
online, and social media marketing is very effective for this market. Consumers from all
social groups are identifying with each other under the umbrella of nationalism,
Operators have a golden chance to exploit this phenomenon when attempting a strategy to
appeal cross-segments. Indian tastes call for more experimentation. Consumers
experience little difference of outlets, and thus will not develop brand loyalty without
more differentiation in the market. India wants more health and hygiene. Higher
education and increased lifestyles diseases has created awareness of importance of health.
The demands and supplies of “healthy” products will continue to grow at a fast rate.

34 | P a g NRIB [BATCH 2 017 - 19]


(Hult K. K., December 2005): The results of this study provide good support for the
relationships between customer perceptions of service/Product quality, Product freshness,
Site easiness, Time saving, and their continued loyalty to both the channel and the
particular brand. The evidence clearly shows a longitudinal relationship between higher
perceptions and increased loyalty. The data provide important insights for researchers and
managers interested in developing and perfecting methods for retaining customers in the
dynamic arena of Internet retailing. The application of behavioural models of this type is
generalizable, given that most Internet retailers have some type of ongoing data-
collection system for surveying customers regarding their satisfaction with various
aspects of the transaction. While the models developed in this article are specific to the
two companies and the online grocery industry, the general approach should generalize
fairly easily because companies generally have substantial investments in information
technology of the type necessary to support such behavioural modeling.
