Recently, Zomato rolled out a new feature called "Food Rescue," allowing nearby customers to snap up cancelled orders at discounted prices.
Zomato co-founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal highlighted the gravity of the problem in a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), noting that the goal is to minimize waste and redirect food to those who can use it.
"Cancelled orders will now pop up for nearby customers, who can grab them at an unbeatable price, in their original untampered packaging, and receive them in just minutes," Goyal wrote.
