Controversy on Zomato's 10-minute food delivery: People raised questions on the safety of the delivery boy, Founder Deepinder said - will give training, will also have insurance

Online food delivery service company Zomato will now deliver food to you in 10 minutes. The company's founder Deepinder Goyal has given this information through a blog. However, many controversies have also started regarding this move of the company. Lok Sabha member Karti Chidambaram has said that this is absolutely absurd service. This will put unnecessary pressure on the deliverers.

Deepinder Goyal wrote on the blog – We have to innovate

Goyal said – I was starting to feel that Zomato's average delivery time of 30 minutes is very slow. It will soon go out of business. If we don't change it then someone will do this work. The only way to stay in the tech industry is to innovate and grow. So now we have come up with our 10 minute food delivery offer - Zomato Insta.

Food delivery preparation completed in 10 minutes

Goyal said the promise of quicker deliveries will depend on a network of large finishing stations, which will be located close to areas with high demand customers. The company will also rely heavily on dish-level demand prediction algorithms and in-station robotics to ensure this. This will ensure that the food is fresh and hot when selected by the delivery partner.

Told 10 minute delivery safe

Goyal also told on social media that his 10 minute delivery service will be as safe as 30 minute delivery service. All delivery boys will be given training on road safety. They will also be given road safety and life insurance.

These questions arose on Zomato's 10 minute delivery service

Delivery boy's life at risk: Karti Chidambaram

Zomato wants to please the customers with this new service, but there is also opposition to it. The Restaurant Federation is also not accepting this new facility of Zomato as right. MP Karti Chidambaram has said that this is absolutely absurd service. This will put unnecessary pressure on the deliverymen, who are neither employees of the company nor do they get any benefit or security. They don't even have the power to bargain with Zomato. He clearly said that by keeping the delivery time of 10 minutes, the life of the delivery boy would also be in danger.

Danger for road users too: Suhel Seth

Actor and writer Suhail Seth wrote on social media that the 10-minute delivery offer from Zomato is dangerous and unnecessary. This can increase the risk to both the rider and the people on the road. As such it can be avoided. It is not too early and there will be no such fool who thinks 10 minutes before what he has to eat after 10 minutes.

No problem waiting for 30 minutes: Priyanka Chaturvedi

Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi also raised the issue of safety of delivery agents. He wrote that this pressure can be dangerous. He said that I am sure that no one will have any problem in waiting for 30 minutes for food delivery. Anyway, if the food is not delivered in this time then the world is not going to end. People around the world will not be happy with the 10-minute delivery.
