'pls avoid ordering during peak afternoon': Zomato asks foodies amid extreme heatwave, Netizens reacts...

As India continues to experience an extreme heatwave, Deepinder Goyal-led food delivery company Zomato has asked its customers to avoid ordering food during the peak afternoon hours.

The company made this request through a post on X (formerly Twitter). However, the appeal did not go as Zomato expected, leading to divisive reactions among users.

pls avoid ordering during peak afternoon unless absolutely necessary 🙏

"Why don't instead suspend your services during peak afternoon?," a user wrote.

Bro, you are in food services and people order food when it is absolutely necessary.

If you actually care about your employees, you would be posting “Our services are unavailable during peak afternoon hours”

"Is it even real? Though I appreciate the concern, lunchtime orders cannot be postponed to dinner time. If so, Zomato needs to identify "absolutely necessary" orders and not-so-necessary orders," another wrote.

IDK if it would be suitable for Delivery guys or not.

"A food delivery app is avoiding delivery. not a good idea though; instead, you should focus on the prevention of the heat that can be taken by the delivery man," a third suggested.
