The company operates in 24 counties and over 10,000 cities worldwide. Zomato is not only responsible for connecting restaurants to customers. But it is also actively trying to do so while enabling a sustainable ecosystem.
In the beginning, all it took the company was an idea of enabling digital access to restaurants. The restaurant owners were tired of waiting in line. Thus, they drove around Delhi to scan menu cards and put them online.
This vision has now grown to make a team of more than 5000 employees. Now the service is available 24 hours a day in more than 10,000 cities. Zomato is committed to nurturing a neutral platform and helping food establishments maintain high-quality services.
