The Zomato seven-year law took the Internet to nostalgia and reminded users a time when food supply did not come up with other fees for all-delivery partners after packaging and platform fees.
Since 2019, the user has shared a picture of the old Zomato order that showed how affordable food delivery was once. The user who published a picture on Reddit wrote: “He just went to move the history of the order to see this order today. That was the time Zomato was really affordable to order.”
Viral return
The viral screen shows that the user has ordered Mr. Malai Tikka from a restaurant located almost 9.6 km away. Food originally stands £160, but after using the coupon code, the user ended up paying a fair £92 Total.
What the most excelled people was the absence of any delivery fee, a platform fee, or the cost of packaging – now the normal part of each online food account.
“No delivery fees … These were the days of affordable meals,” the user said, adding that the same order would stand around £300 today.
From any fees to many
Most of the food supply accounts to Zomato or swiggs today include several supplements-like platform fees, packaging fees in restaurants, GST and occasionally delivery fees or rain surcharge. What was once a quick and affordable experience has now become much more expensive, users pointed out.
The post quickly became viral at Reddit, gathered over 700 UPVotes, and evoked a lively discussion among nostalgic users who shared their own experience from the first days of food delivery applications.
Netizens React
Many users have joined the conversation and remembered when the delivery of food felt as if the luxury was affordable.
“Skra, 2019 still feels as if it were 2 years ago,” one user wrote.
“I remember around 2019, my order to order was 150rs Max … now has changed to 300/350,” wrote another user.
Several others have pointed out how the platform’s business models developed and noted that the prices’ shift reflects inflation and increasing operating costs for delivery applications.
“Well, every platform was affordable at the time, but compare it to life costs and wages. You can’t get everything for less. Always remember that there are costs everywhere. If you get Mr. Chili at 150, then who even earns.
While food supply remains for millions of Indians with everyday comfort, this old Zomato account reminded Internet users easier (and cheaper) times – when and £92 The order could travel 9 km without any “additional fees”.
