Synopsis
With night curfews in place in both Delhi and Mumbai, Swiggy and Zomato have stopped taking orders at 7:30 pm, missing out on peak time for dinner orders.
Mumbai:Food delivery platforms Zomato and Swiggy and the restaurants they work with are already feeling the brunt of the latest round of restrictions imposed by governments in two of their biggest markets.
With night curfews in place in both Delhi (10 pm to 5 am) and all of Maharashtra, including Mumbai (8 pm to 7 am), several large chains have announced closure of their restaurants.
Operations of Zomato and Swiggyhad rebounded to pre-pandemic levels a couple of months ago. But the impact of the latest round of restrictions became evident on Monday itself, when both platforms stopped taking orders at 7:30 pm and missed out on peak time for dinner orders.
