1.1 ABSTRACT
Developments in technology and reliance on internet has pitched a new pathway for marketing
through mobile applications. According to worldwidewebsize.com the internet holds 15- 50
billion active websites. These websites and applications have outdated many traditional ways
of marketing and selling products. A combination of marketing intelligence and technology
has reached to the development of mobile applications which use internet as a medium to
advertise products as well as services. Customers as well as business houses now a days have
a contemporary perception of products and services available in the market. Marketing
strategies are based on online marketing which suits demands of today’s customers. Keeping
in view the online services this project aims to study the perception of customers ordering food
through online food delivery apps viz. Zomato, Swiggy. The research is focused on the people
who already use above mentioned food delivery apps. A survey was conducted for purposeful
analysis to study various attributes of all two applications to conclude that which amongst the
three applications is having the best overall satisfaction with customers of online food ordering
customer FEROZEPUR(Punjab).
1.2 INTRODUCTION
The Online Ordering System can be defined as a simple and convenient way for customers to
purchase food online, without having to go to the restaurant.
This system is enabled by the internet – it is the internet that connects the restaurant or the food
company on one hand, and the customer on other hand. Therefore, as per this system, the
customer visits the restaurant’s app or website, browses through the various food items, combos
and cuisines available there and goes ahead and selects and purchases the items he or she needs.
These items will then be delivered to the customer at his or her doorstep at the time they choose
by a delivery person. Payments for such online orders can be made through debit cards, credit
cards, cash or card on delivery, or even through digital wallets. This system for online food
delivery is completely safe, secure and is a very popular method that is revolutionizing the way
in which the food industry operates.

ZOMATO
Zomato is a restaurant search, discovery & delivery service which was founded in 2008 by
DEEPINDER GOYAL & PANKAJ CHADDAH. It operates in over 23 countries includes
India, Australia and United States. It features restaurant information which gives the customer
information about best dining places, their menus and photos uploaded by local street teams as
well as users reviews and ratings.
The company also provides a variety of services like online ordering, table reservations and so
on. It collects all the required information from every restaurant on a regular basis to ensure
their data is fresh. They have a vast community of food lovers and bloggers who share their
own photos and reviews so that customers have all that they need to make their preferred
choice.
Zomato also began grocery delivery amid the COVID-19 outbreak As of 2019, the service is
available in 24 countries and in more than 10,000 cities.
INVESTMENT
Zomato has approximately raised around USD 16.7 million in the year 2010-13 from Info Edge
India, by offering stakes of 57.9% in Zomato. It also raised USD 37 million additionally from
Sequoia Capital Info Edge India.
Zomato completed another round of funding which was jointly taken from Info Edge India &
Vy Capital in November 2014, the funding being around USD 60 million.
While in April 2015, Info Edge India, Vy Capital and Sequoia Capital led another round of
funding for US$50 million. This was followed by another US$60 million funding led
by Temasek, a Singapore government-owned investment company, along with Vy Capital in
September.
In October 2018, Zomato raised $210 million from Alibaba's payment affiliate Ant Financial.
Ant Financial received an ownership stake of over 10% of the company as part of the round,
which valued Zomato at around $2 billion. Zomato had also raised an additional $150 million
also from Ant Financial earlier in 2018.

HISTORY
Like most other start-ups, India’s pioneering foodtech unicorn Zomato has seen many peaks
and troughs in its journey. While there were some illustrious moments and accomplishments,
there were troubled times too, some that even brought the very existence of the company into
question. Zomato kicked off essentially as a rebranded version of the food directory services
Foodie bay. Goyal and Chaddah, both IIT graduates and both working as analysts at Bain and
Company back then, had started Foodie bay in 2008.
In a matter of just nine months, Foodie bay became the largest restaurant directory in Delhi
NCR. After two successful years, the company was rebranded Zomato and since then there was
no looking back. With support from its investors and multiple rounds of consecutive funding,
Zomato built not only its valuation but also an interesting portfolio of investors which includes
Info Edge India, Sequoia, Vy Capital, Singapore-based investment firm Temasek, and
Alibaba’s Ant Financial. Ant Financials’ $200 Mn investment earlier this year led Zomato to
cross the $1 Bn valuation. Zomato’s quick growth can also be attributed to its rapid expansion
to countries other than India. Soon after its success in Delhi-NCR, the company started
branching out to cities like Pune, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad.
By 2012, Zomato had started expanding overseas by extending its services to Sri Lanka, UAE,
Qatar, South Africa, UK, and the Philippines. The year 2013 saw New Zealand, Turkey, and
Brazil get added to its list. During this time, Zomato also kept working on its tech backbone to
match the boom in the smartphone trend and launched its app. It was also in 2015 that Zomato,
struggling with falling revenues, carried out its massive layoff. After a slow 2016, in which
Zomato saw further loss in revenues, the company decided to roll back operations in nine of
the countries it had expanded to, handling them remotely to ensure it did not lose out on the
markets. In terms of numbers, Zomato recorded a 225% rise in revenue in the first half of
FY2020. According to the company’s biannual report, it has registered $205 Mn in revenue,
compared to $63 Mn in the first half of last year. Zomato claimed to have registered an increase
of 177% of restaurant partners after getting an additional 73K restaurant on board. In the
H1FY20, the food aggregator and delivery start-up has around 119K restaurants, compared to
43K last year. Zomato Gold service has registered a 180% increase with 1.4 Mn users. With an
eventful FY20, Zomato’s rival Swiggy has also been out on the block seeking fresh funds. The
12
Bengaluru-based food delivery unicorn is also in talks to raise $500 Mn fresh funds led by
Naspers at a valuation of $3.3 Bn.

SWOT ANALYSIS
# Strengths:
#Weakness:
1. The major concern was related to the privacy and security issues for the app.
2. Zomato still requires a lot of expansion.
3. Word of mouth and Facebook check-ins have lessened the number of people using
Zomato.
#Opportunities:
1. Further expansion.
2. More acquisitions.
3. Cloud Restaurant-where the restaurants need not have a physical existence to sell their
food, instead they can sell their food through Zomato.
4. Creating a forum and a community out of the users already following Zomato can be a
huge benefit for the brand.
#Threats
1. Major threat would be from the new entrants, many new food deliveries start ups have
been emerging in the recent years.
2. Not all the customers will be loyal towards one aggregator, if there is a better one
providing more offers and discounts the existing customers may move on.
3. Uncertain Research & Development outcomes, sometimes if the prediction of R&D
may not work as thought it might lead to failure.

SWIGGY
Swiggy is an online food delivery business founded in 2014 by Sriharsha Majety and Nandan
Reddy.
Swiggy is an online Food Ordering & Delivery Company whose Headquarter is located in
Bangalore. The idea was induced into their heads noticing the vast gap between the food
ordering and delivery space, where in a lot of restaurants faced the issue of not having sufficient
delivery boys, so this sparked a thought and they started a small setup on August 2014 with a
team of six delivery boys and covering 25 restaurants which soon became a hit and now it
operates around13 cities and it offers a single window for ordering from a large range of
restaurants, they have their own exclusive fleet of delivery personnel to pick up orders from
restaurants and deliver it to customers.
Swiggy is India's largest and most valuable online food ordering and delivery platform.
Founded in 2014, Swiggy is based out of Bangalore, India and, as of March 2019, was
operating out of 100 Indian cities. In early 2019, Swiggy expanded into general product
deliveries, under the brand name Swiggy Stores.
In September 2019, Swiggy launched instant pick up and drop service Swiggy Go. The service
is used to pick up and drop off a diverse array of items, including laundry and document or
parcel deliveries to business clients and retail customers.

INVESTMENT
By 2015, the company began attracting external investments. The first was a $2 million
investment from Accel and Saif Partners, along with an additional investment from Norwest
Venture Partners. The next year, Swiggy raised $15 million from new and existing investors,
including Bessemer Venture Partners and Harmony Partners.
17
In 2017, Naspers led an $80 million funding round into Swiggy. Swiggy received $100 million
from China-based Meituan-Dianping and Naspers in 2018 and then later a string of investments
took the company's valuation to over a $1 billion.
In April 2020, Swiggy received around $43 million funding which valued the company at $3.6
billion.
Swiggy acquired Bangalore-based Asian food start-up 48East in 2017. Swiggy later acquired
Mumbai-based Scootsy Logistics, a struggling food and fashion delivery service. It also went
on to acquire a milk delivery start-up in Mumbai called SuprDaily in an all cash deal. In 2019,
the company invested Rs 31 crore in Mumbai-based ready-to-eat food brand Fingerlix. Swiggy
plans to transition Scootsy’s partners, fleet and nudge consumers to its app and shut Scootsy
by June-end 2020.
HISTORY
In 2013 two founders, Sriharsha Majety and Nandan Reddy, designed an e-commerce website
called "Bundl" to facilitate courier service and ship goods within India. Bundl was quickly
paused, and they moved into the food delivery market. At the time, the food delivery sector
was in turmoil as several notable start-ups, such as Food Panda (later acquired by Ola Cabs),
TinyOwl (later acquired by Zomato) and Ola Cafe (later closed) were struggling. Majety and
Reddy approached Rahul Jaimini, formerly with Myntra, and founded Swiggy and parent
holding company Bundl Technologies in 2014. The company built out a dedicated delivery
network and grew rapidly, primarily driven by the focus on logistics and locking in key
resources. In May 2020, Swiggy laid off 1100 employees during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In August 2020 the company launched their groceries delivery platform called InstaMart.
Swiggy was founded by Nandan Reddy, Rahul Jaimini and Sriharsha Majesty in August 2014.
Three of them were from different field. Nandan and Sriharsha were both alumni of Birla
Institute of Technology and Science in Pilani, and in 2013 they had a logistic company named
Bundl Technologies that used to connect small and medium companies. After about a year and
half years they thought of building an online food delivering logistic company with the concept
of “hyperlocal food delivery” and entered the restaurant industry. They asked one of their
friends, Rahul Jaimini, who was an IIT Kharagpur alumnus and was working as a software
18
engineer for online fashion store Myntra to join and when he agreed, they created and began
the food chain delivery service called “Swiggy”.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
22
Serhat Murat Alagoz & Haluk Hekimoglu (2012) determined a noticeable growth in
ecommerce with a substantial speed worldwide, similarly food industry has been noticed to
grow by the time. Researchers have used Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) model to
study the online food ordering system. Ease and usefulness of the online ordering and delivery
services has been emphasized as a major factor towards the acceptance and growth of these
services.
Ansar Z. & Jain S. (2016) specified the growth in the ecommerce industry as prime factor for
the success of online food ordering and delivery services. Research has mentioned that more
than 400 food delivery apps are nurturing in India with a funding of about $120 million from
venture capital firms and other such investors. Considering the fact that a minimum 3 meals
are consumed by each individual in a day the food industry is called as a repetitive business
industry which attracts the interest of investors and entrepreneurs towards this growing
business segment.
H.S. Sethu & Bhavya Saini (2016) have wonderfully investigated the perception, behaviour
and satisfaction of students towards online food ordering and delivery services. The study
emphasized the online food ordering and delivery services helping students in time
management and having their favourite food at any time of the day. Researchers have also
revealed that easy access to internet as one of the supporting factors to the use of such services
by the students.
Jyotishman Das (2018) in his study titled “consumer perception towards ‘online food ordering
and delivery services’: an empirical study” aims to discuss the consumer’s perception towards
the online food ordering and delivery services in Pune. The survey was conducted around 153
respondents who are already using the online food delivery services. The purpose was to know
the influencing factors, buyer’s perceptions, needs, positioning of various attributes of different
online portals in their mind and overall satisfaction towards online food delivery services. The
factors that encourages consumers to use online food ordering is doorstep delivery followed by
ease and convenience. Consumers are mostly influenced when they receive any cashbacks and
rewards. Their most preferred online food delivery service provider is Zomato followed by
Swiggy. The factors that prevent consumers to use the online food delivery services are bad
past experience followed by influence from friends/family.
Mr. Vashu Panwar & Ms. Madhu Singh (2019) have investigated that mostly students those
who are on the verge of completing their studies using online food delivery services. The
23
consumers are satisfied with the services of both online food provider. The perception of the
consumer varies according to various similarities & difference based on their personal
opinions. In their study, it reveals that the price of the products, discounts and special offers
have the most influencing factor on online food delivery system.
Nitiwanakul W (2014) this study was to examine the relationship between customers’
perceived value and its drivers which influence fine dining restaurant selection. The results
indicated that perceived value and monetary cost were the key factors that influence
consumers’ intention to select a fine dining restaurant. Food quality, service quality, monetary
cost and non-monetary cost were found to be the essential factors which directly affect the
overall customer perceived value of fine dining restaurants, in a positive way for quality and a
negative way for cost.
Jabir Tribhuvan (2015) The study resulted in that the majority of the respondents reported
eating out once in a month. They primarily dined out with friends or family members on
holidays or special occasions. By using chi- square analysis the difference in consumers
preferences for eating out has been analysed for family and fast-food style restaurants. The
study also identified that the preference for eating out was significantly more prominent among
those who were younger (<30 years), more educated (preferably graduate in any discipline),
employed, and having more than one income earners in their family and belonging to higher
income groups of households (>`. 15,000 per month).
Krishna Kumari (2019) invested that on-line ordering system was a simple and convenient way
for customers to purchase food online, without wasting the time in restaurant. This method was
convenient, safe, reliable and it is revolutionizing the present restaurant industry. Structured
questionnaire was employed to identify the factors influencing the buying behaviour and
relationship between the on-line food service and the facilities provided. The study concludes
that the social
media helps the on-line service provider of food, by advertising in their media and websites.
S. Manju (2019), in her study on Customer Preference and Impact of Online Food Service
Apps tells about the impact of various food ordering apps in our day to day life and what factors
have contributed to this great deal of food service app usage.
24
Mrs. A. Mohanapriya, Mrs. P. Geetha & Mr. A. Prasathkumar(2020) The consumer behaviour
has become an emerging area of research within the business discipline here various factors
has an influence on consumer behaviour. The research investigates the consumer’s preference
on dining in a restaurant and ordering food online. Even online food delivery service is an
emerging market in India the consumer prefers the traditional way of dining in the restaurant.
Restaurants is the place where people can sit and relax and spend their time with their family
by having their favourite food. Most of the people prefers the restaurant with good ambience
and provide hygiene food. Most of the consumers have online food delivery apps in their
mobiles but they place orders only once in a while. From this research paper we had identified
that the main problem for the consumers not preferring online food delivery service is lack of
trust. Consumers afraid of the quality of the packed food, so the online food aggregators should
gain the trust of the consumers to improve their business.

CHAPTER 3
RESEARCH METHODOGY
26
❖ Results are just an indication of the Present scenario & may be not applicable
in future.
❖ As the study was conducted in Ferozepur (Punjab), so it can be said that
the study was conducted on regional basis.
28
❖ Since, sampling was done under convenience sampling method, where easily
approachable respondents were picked up, so it will not justify the whole
universe.
❖ Lack of time on the part of respondents for filling up the questionnaire.
❖ Respondents may fill partially correct information in the questionnaire.
❖ The sampling size was so small for conducting the study.
❖ A sample size of 50 respondents is enough to gauze the reviews and satisfaction
of customers living in Ferozepur.
❖ Keeping in view social and cultural variations amongst the population, the results
of the study cannot be generalized to each and every past of Ferozepur or its
adjacent locations.
❖ As the situation of Pandemic arises, actual Summer Training is not conducted,
which effects the result of study.
