Delivery agents strongly react to Zomato’s plea against afternoon orders: ‘Humara target poora kaise hoga?’

In a bid to seemingly give their delivery partners a respite from the heatwave, food aggregator Zomato recently urged customers to avoid ordering during “peak afternoon” hours. The delivery partners’ uniforms are made from 100% breathable dry-fit mesh fabric, and they have been provided with summer sleeves for added UV protection.” A Zomato delivery agent quenches his thirst before going on his delivery rounds ‘Hum yeh paise ke liye karte hai’ Delivery agents from both the food delivery apps also vocalised that this move would be more cumbersome than helpful. “Haan bahut garmi hai lekin hum yeh paise ke liye karte hain,” says Mumbai's Mahesh Kumar Prajapati, a delivery agent, adding: “Maybe Zomato could increase the amount of money we get during lunch hours.” The said hour is also when the food app pays executives extra. Agar dopahar mein delivery nahin hone ka rule aa gaya toh humara target poora kaise hoga?” says Ashwin Telgote, another delivery agent. I do end up ordering pretty often as I sometimes have no other option and going to a restaurant isn’t always possible.” Chef Prachi Agarkar, a resident of Pune Cantonment, says, “I do order a lot of food from food delivery apps like Swiggy and Zomato as I’m always in need of last-minute groceries for my content creation.
