Online food delivery platform Swiggy has announced the integration of its dineout offerings on the platform, making it available to all of its users. Previously, the service was only available to subscribers to Swiggy’s membership program – Swiggy One.
With this integration, the company says, customers can take advantage of up to 40 percent unlimited discounts at over 18,000 restaurants in 24 cities. Users can get exclusive benefits and save Rs on average. 600 on every transaction at Dineout restaurants.
This service is currently available in 24 cities including Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Indore, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Nagpur, Goa (North and South), Kochi, Surat , Agra, Udaipur and Vadodara.
“With this integration, Dineout’s offering will be more accessible than ever and available to a larger Swiggy user base across the 24 cities. We are confident that our combined efforts will help create a seamless experience for all Swiggy users and deliver significant savings on their meal-out costs,” said Ankit Mehrotra, co-founder of Dineout.
Swiggy One subscribers can take advantage of all the company’s offerings, including Dineout, Meal Delivery, Instamart and Genie.
The company’s Quick Commerce arm, Instamart, is currently operational in over 25 cities, and Genie — its pickup and drop-off service — is available in 68 cities.
Swiggy, which is planning an initial public offering (IPO), announced that it reached a definitive agreement with Times Internet to acquire Dineout — a leading restaurant and restaurant tech platform — in May last year. According to sources, it was a $120 million deal.
After the acquisition, Dineout will continue as an independent app. Founders Ankit Mehrotra, Nikhil Bakshi, Sahil Jain and Vivek Kapoor joined Swiggy upon completion of the acquisition.
In October last year, Swiggy was in hot water when reports surfaced of hundreds of restaurants being scrapped by Swiggy Dineout. However, sources said only 20 brands with nearly 400 outlets have been dropped from its restaurant platform, Business Standard had previously reported.
Bangalore-based decacorn also laid off 380 workers out of its 6,000 workforce last month, citing difficult macroeconomic conditions and a slowdown in growth at its grocery delivery business. “Our overstaffing is a case of poor judgment and I should have done better here,” said the company’s CEO, Sriharsha Majety.
