These ventures are changing the face of how Indians dine. With swift and seamless services, these start-ups are helping people have their meals on time amidst all the hustle-bustle of modern life. Let’s take a look at 5 promising food-tech ventures in India that have emerged as game-changers in the Indian context.

1. Dash.menu: Sample food through FIDEOS before ordering

For long, while ordering or dining out, users couldn’t really sample their food. However, entry of Dash in India’s food-tech domain disrupts that status quo. Giving a break from the traditional paper or digital menus, Dash creates bite-sized fideos, short for food-videos. It helps users ‘see’ what they are ordering, exactly how the food is prepared or how it would look. Dash, thus, takes away the dependency on a trained staff or on the ability of users to decipher a well-articulate menu. It helps restaurants and cloud kitchens to upsell while minimising the buyer’s remorse.

2.  Swiggy – Easy deliveries within 40 mins

The brand promises to fill provide exclusive cuisine in under 40-minutes. Helping customers to order food from top-rated restaurants in the vicinity, Swiggly also allows them to track the order in real-time. To ensure quicker deliveries, Swiggy has also partnered with internet-first restaurants like Brekkie and Eatongo. Swiggy has also ventured into the cloud-kitchen model, driven to provide the best experience to its customers.

3. Zomato – From ordering-in to dining-out

From ordering-in to booking a table at a restaurant, Zomato covers the full spectrum of services that a passionate foodie would need. Planning a date? Looking for bars with live-music or wish to order comfort food? Zomato will take care of it all. The home-grown brand has made its way to over 20 countries in the world, including Sri Lanka, UK, New Zealand, UAE, Qatar, and more.

4. Faasos: Scrumptious food and beverage

Faasos is a chain of restaurants and nearly 75 cloud kitchens, owning brands like Ovenstory, Behrouz Biryani, and Kettle & Eggs. Its mobile app, available on iOS and Android, helps users order scrumptious food and beverage of their choice. In addition to online deliveries, the brand has also opened offline outlets in Bengaluru.

5. FreshMenu – Freshly prepared, covering multiple cuisine

An internet-first restaurant, FreshMenu has established itself in providing freshly prepared food, covering diverse cuisine including continental, oriental, Italian, and more. There is never a dull moment with FreshMenu, as the menu is changed every day.
