1.1 INTRODUCTION TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Customer satisfaction refers to the extent to which customers are happy with the
products and services provided by a business. Customer satisfaction levels can be
measured using survey techniques and questionnaires.
Definition 1:
Customer satisfaction is equivalent to making sure that product and service
performance meets customer expectations.
Definition 2:
Customer satisfaction is the perception of the customer that the outcome of a business
transaction is equal to or greater than his/her expectation.
Definition 3:
Customer satisfaction occurs when acquisition of products and/or services provides a
minimum negative departure from expectations when compared with other
acquisitions. Gaining high levels of customer satisfaction is very important too
business because satisfaction customers are most likely to be loyal and to make repeat
orders and to use a wide range of services offered by a business .There are many
factors which lead in high levels of customer satisfaction including. Products and
services which are customer focused and hence provide high levels of value for
money.
What is clear about customer satisfaction is that customers are most likely to
appreciate the goods and services that they buy if they’re made to feel special. This
occurs when they feel that the products and services that they buy have been specially
produced for them or for people like them.

1.1.1 Benefits of Customer Satisfaction

The importance of customer satisfaction and support is increasingly becoming a vital
business issue as organization realize the benefits of Customer Relationship
Management (CRM)for providing effective customer service. Professionals working
within customer-focused business or those running call centers or help desks, need to
keep informed about the latest customer satisfaction techniques for running a valuable
customer service function. From small customer service departments to large call
centers, the importance of developing a valued relationship with customers using
CRM is essential to support customer and long-term business growth.

2
1.1.2 What Do Customers Want?
Before we begin to create tools to measure the level of satisfaction, it’s important to
develop a clear understanding of what exactly the customer wants. We need to know
what our customers expect from the products and services we provide. Customer
expectations have two types –
 Expressed.
 Implied.
 Customer Expectations are those requirements that are written down n the contract
and agreed upon by both parties for example, product specifications and delivery
requirements. Supplier’s performance against these requirements is most of the
items directly measurable.

Customer Expectations are not written or spoken but are the ones the customer would
‘expect’ the supplier to meet nevertheless. For example, a customer would expect the
service representative who calls on him to be knowledgeable and competent to solve a
problem on the spot. There are many reasons why customer expectations are likely to
change overtime. Process improvements, advent of new technology, changes in
customer’s priorities, improved quality of service provided by competitors are just a
few examples. The customer is always right. Supplier’s job is to provide the customer
what he/she wants, when he/she wants it. Customer satisfaction is customer’s
perception that a supplier has met or exceeded their expectations.

1.1.3 What Constitutes Satisfaction?

We cannot create customer satisfaction just by meeting customer’s requirements fully
because these have to be met in any case. However failing short is certain to create
dissatisfaction
Major Attributes of customer satisfaction in banking industry can be summarized as:
 Product quality
 Premium Outflow
 Return on Investment
 Services
 Responsiveness and ability to resolve complaints and reject reports.
 Overall communication, accessibility and attitude.

3
1.1.4 What Are The Tools?
Customer expectations can be identified using various methods such as:
Periodic contract reviews.
Market Research.
Telephonic Interviews.
Personal visits.
Warranty records.
Informal discussions.
Satisfaction surveys depending upon the customer base and available resources, we
can choose a method that is most effective in measuring the customer’s perceptions.
The purpose of the exercise is to identify priorities for improvements. We must
develop a method or combination of methods that helps to continually improve
service.

Here are the top six reasons why customer satisfaction is so important:
 It’s a leading indicator of consumer repurchase intentions and loyalty
 It’s a point of differentiation
 It reduces customer churn
 It increases customer lifetime value
 It reduces negative word of mouth
 It’s cheaper to retain customers than acquire new ones

1. It’s a leading indicator of consumer repurchase intentions and loyalty

Customer satisfaction is the best indicator of how likely a customer will make a
purchase in the future. Asking customers to rate their satisfaction on a scale of 1-10 is
a good way to see if they will become repeat customers or even advocates.
Any customers that give you a rating of 7 and above, can be considered satisfied, and
you can safely expect them to come back and make repeat purchases. Customers who
give you a rating of 9 or 10 are your potential customer advocates who you can
leverage to become evangelists for your company.
Scores of 6 and below are warning signs that a customer is unhappy and at risk of
leaving. These customers need to be put on a customer watch list and followed up so
you can determine why their satisfaction is low.
See how satisfaction provides so much insight into your customers?

4
That’s why it’s one of the leading metrics businesses use to measure consumer
repurchase and customer loyalty.

2. It’s a point of differentiation

In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers; customer
satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator. Businesses who succeed in these cut-throat
environments are the ones that make customer satisfaction a key element of their
business strategy.
Picture two businesses that offer the exact same product. What will make you choose
one over the other?
If you had a recommendation for one business would that sway your opinion?
Probably. So how does that recommendation originally start? More than likely it’s on
the back of a good customer experience. Companies who offer amazing customer
experiences create environments where satisfaction is high and customer advocates
are plenty.
This is an example of where customer satisfaction goes full circle. Not only can
customer satisfaction help you keep a finger on the pulse of your existing customers,
it can also act as a point of differentiation for new customers.

3. It reduces customer churn

An Accenture global customer satisfaction report (2008) found that price is not the
main reason for customer churn; it is actually due to the overall poor quality of
customer service.
Customer satisfaction is the metric you can use to reduce customer churn. By
measuring and tracking customer satisfaction you can put new processes in place to
increase the overall quality of your customer service.
I recommend you put an emphasis on exceeding customer expectations and ‘wowing’
customers at every opportunity. Do that for six months, than measure customer
satisfaction again. See whether your new initiatives have had a positive or negative
impact on satisfaction.

4. It increases customer lifetime value

A study by InfoQuest found that a ‘totally satisfied customer’ contributes 2.6 times
more revenue than a ‘somewhat satisfied customer’. Furthermore, a ‘totally satisfied
5
customer’ contributes 14 times more revenue than a ‘somewhat dissatisfied
customer’.
Satisfaction plays a significant role in how much revenue a customer generates for
your business.
Successful businesses understand the importance of customer lifetime value (CLV). If
you increase CLV, you increase the returns on your marketing dollar.
For example, you might have a cost per acquisition of $500 dollars and a CLV of
$750. That’s a 50% ROI from the marketing efforts. Now imagine if CLV was
$1,000. That’s a 100% ROI!
Customer lifetime value is a beneficiary of high customer satisfaction and good
customer retention. What are you doing to keep customers coming back and spending
more?

 5 Strategies To Increase Customer Lifetime Value

5. It reduces negative word of mouth

McKinsey found that an unhappy customer tells between 9-15 people about their
experience. In fact, 13% of unhappy customers tell over 20 people about their
experience.
That’s a lot of negative word of mouth.
How much will that affect your business and its reputation in your industry?
Customer satisfaction is tightly linked to revenue and repeat purchases. What often
gets forgotten is how customer satisfaction negatively impacts your business. It’s one
thing to lose a customer because they were unhappy. It’s another thing completely to
lose 20 customers because of some bad word of mouth.
To eliminate bad word of mouth you need to measure customer satisfaction on an
ongoing basis. Tracking changes in satisfaction will help you identify if customers are
actually happy with your product or service.

6. It’s cheaper to retain customers than acquire new ones

This is probably the most publicized customer satisfaction statistic out there. It costs
six to seven times more to acquire new customers than it does to retain existing
customers.
6
If that stat does not strike accord with you then there’s not much else I can do to
demonstrate why customer satisfaction is important.
Customers cost a lot of money to acquire. You and your marketing team spend
thousands of dollars getting the attention of prospects, nurturing them into leads and
closing them into sales.
Why is it that you then spend little or no money on customer retention?
Imagine if you allocated one sixth of your marketing budget towards customer
retention. How do you think that will help you with improving customer satisfaction
and retaining customers?
Here are some customer retention strategies to get you thinking:
 Use blogs to educate customers
 Use email to send special promotions
 Use customer satisfaction surveys to listen
 Delight customers by offering personalized experiences

1.2 INTRODUCTION TO FOOD SERVICES

A dabbawala; also spelled as dabbawalla or dabbawallah; is a person in India, most
commonly in Mumbai, who is part of a delivery system that collects hot food in lunch
boxes from the residences of workers in the late morning, delivers the lunches to the
workplace, predominantly using bicycles and the railway trains, and returns the empty
boxes to the worker's residence that afternoon. They are also used by meal suppliers
in Mumbai, where they ferry ready, cooked meals from central kitchens to the
customers and back. In Mumbai, most office workers prefer to eat home-cooked food
in their workplace rather than eat outside at a food stand or at a local restaurant,
usually for reasons of taste and hygiene, hence the concept. A number of work-from-
home women also supply such home-cooked meals, delivering through the dabbawala
network

7
Etymology
When literally translated, the word "dabbawala" means "one who carries a box".
"Dabba" means a box (usually a cylindrical tin or aluminium container)
from Persian: ‫دَبّه‬, while "wala" is an agentive suffix, denoting a doer or holder of the
preceding word. The closest meaning of the dabbawala in English would be the
"lunch box delivery man".

Origins
In 1890 Bombay, Mahadeo Havaji Bachche started a lunch delivery service with
about a hundred men. In 1930, he informally attempted to unionize the dabbawallas.
Later, a charitable trust was registered in 1956 under the name of Nutan Mumbai
Tiffin Box Suppliers Trust. The commercial arm of this trust was registered in 1968
as Mumbai Tiffin Box Supplier's Association. The current president of the association
is Raghunath Medge.

Supply Chain Management

A collecting dabbawala, usually on bicycle, collects dabbas either from a worker's
home or from the dabba makers. As many of the carriers are of limited literacy (the
average literacy of Dabbawallahs is that of 8th grade), the dabbas (boxes) have some
sort of distinguishing mark on them, such as a colour or group of symbols.
The dabbawala then takes them to a sorting place, where he and other collecting
dabbawalas sort the lunch boxes into groups. The grouped boxes are put in the
coaches of trains, with markings to identify the destination of the box (usually there is
a designated car for the boxes). The markings include the railway station to unload the
boxes and the destination building delivery address.At each station, boxes are handed
over to a local dabbawala, who delivers them. The empty boxes are collected after
lunch or the next day and sent back to the respective houses. The dabbawalas also
allow for delivery requests through.
Appearance and coding Lunch boxes are marked in several ways:
(1) Abbreviations for collection points,
(2) Colour code for starting station,
(3) Number for destination station and
(4) Markings for handling dabbawala at destination, building and floor.

8
It was estimated in 2007 that the dabbawala industry was growing by 5-10% per
annum. A colour-coding system identifies the destination and recipient. Each
dabbawala is required to contribute a minimum capital in kind, in the form of two
bicycles, a wooden crate for the tiffins, white cotton kurta-pyjamas, and the
white Gandhi cap (topi).

Economic Analysis
Each dabbawala, regardless of role, is paid around 8,000 rupees per month (about
US$131 in 2014). Between 175,000 and 200,000 lunch boxes are moved each day by
4,500 to 5,000 dabbawalas.
It is frequently claimed that dabbawalas make less than one mistake in every six
million deliveries, however this is only an estimation from Ragunath Medge, the
president of the Mumbai Tiffinmen's Association in 1998, and is not from a rigorous
study. Medge told Subrata Chakravarty, the lead author of the 'Tiffin Food' article
by Forbes where this claim first appeared, that dabbawalas make a mistake "almost
never, maybe once every two months" and this statement was extrapolated by Subrata
Chakravarty to be a rate of "one mistake in 8 million deliveries." Chakravarty recalled
the affair in an interview and said
"Forbes never certified the dabbawalas as being a six-sigma organization. In fact, I
never used the term at all. As you know, six-sigma is a process, not a statistic. But it is
commonly associated with a statistic of 1.9 errors per billion operations, and that is
what caused the confusion … . I was impressed by the efficiency and complexity of
the process by which some 175,000 tiffin boxes were sorted, transported, delivered
and returned each day by people who were mostly illiterate and unsophisticated. I
asked the head of the organization how often they made a mistake. He said almost
never, maybe once every two months. Any more than that would be unforgivable to
customers. I did the math, which works out to one mistake in 8 million deliveries—or
16 million, since the tiffin carriers are returned home each day. That is the statistic I
used. Apparently, at a conference in 2002, a reporter asked the president … whether
the tiffinwallahs were a six-sigma organization. He said he didn't know what that was.
When told about the 1.9 error-per-billion statistic, I'm told he said: "Then we are. Just
ask Forbes". The reporter, obviously without having read my story, wrote that Forbes
had certified the tiffinwallahs as a six-sigma organization. That phrase was picked up

9
and repeated by other reporters in other stories and now seems to have become part of
the folklore." - Subrata Chakravarty

1.2.1 Understanding Multidimensional Aspects of Tiffin Food Quality

Vending of Tiffin food in urban areas is a growing and worldwide phenomenon and
today Tiffin foods are important sources of daily foods for massive urban populations
– not least in punjab towns. But food poisoning, food borne diseases and food safety
have been declared a major public health concern by international health agencies and
Tiffin foods have in many studies been associated with microbiological contamination
and low hygienic standards (WHO 2006). Hence, Tiffin food vendors are of massive
importance for public health since they alone have influence on the health of
thousands of people every day.
However, if we in future wish to effectively encourage vendors to improve Tiffin food
safety and thereby minimise the dangers of food borne diseases, it is vital to gain in-
sight into the perceptions which form practices and attitudes towards food safety and
hygiene. This thesis will therefore engage in understanding such perceptions among
students in Jalandhar and investigate how these are linked to actual practices and
decision-making when preparing and Tiffin foods and choosing a vendor.

1.2.2 Food Study

What is a food study?
Food studies is an emerging interdisciplinary field of study that examines the complex
relationships among food, culture, and society from numerous disciplines in the
humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Food studies is not the study of food itself;
it is different from more traditional food-related areas of study such as agricultural
science, nutrition, culinary arts, and gastronomy in that it deals with more than the
simple production, consumption, and aesthetic appreciation of food. It is the study of
food and its relationship to the human experience. This relationship is examined from
a variety of perspectives lending a multidisciplinary aspect to this field encompassing
areas such as, art, sociology, education, economics, health, social justice, literature,
anthropology, and history.

10
Why food studies?
Food studies looks at people’s relationships with food and reveals an abundance of
information about them. Food choices expose a group or a person’s beliefs, passions,
background knowledge, assumptions and personalities. Hauck-Lawson (2004)
introduced the concept of food voice. She suggested that what one eats or chooses not
to eat communicates aspects of a person’s identity or emotion in a manner that words
alone cannot. Food choices tell stories of families, migrations, assimilation,
resistance, changes over times, and personal as well as group identity. So why do we
need to study food in a non- epicurean manner? Food studies can challenge us to look
deeply into the common daily occurrence of eating and find deeper meaning in this
ordinary practice. It can help us understand ourselves and others better. It can help
debunk stereotypes and promote acceptance across individuals and groups. In essence,
food studies, why not?

Eating Versus Feeding

Food provides animals the nutrients needed to maintain life and growth when
ingested. When most animals feed, they consume foods needed for their well-being
and do so in a similar way at each feeding. Humans, however, do not feed, they eat.
This trait distinguished humans from other animals. Humans gather, hunt, cultivate
plants, and raise livestock for food consumption. Humans also cook, use utensils to
eat and institute a complex set of rules following a code of etiquette to govern how to
eat appropriately. The human trait of sharing food is exclusive to its species. Humans
relate to food in a in a way they is unique to mankind. We do not simply feed.

Food and Identity

Kittler, Sucher, and Nelms (2012) coined the term food habits (also known as food
culture or foodways) to describe the manner in which humans use food, including
everything from how it is chosen, acquired, and distributed to who prepares, serves,
and eats it. They stated that the significance of the food habits process is that it is
unique to human beings. They pondered why people spend so much time, energy,
money, and creativity on eating. A familiar saying that epitomizes the idea of food
and identity is, “You are what you eat.” This expression addresses two of the
questions considered in the research: What does the food on my plate signify? and
How do food practices contribute to personal identity? These questions address the
11
concept of food as a cultural signifier and encompass fields as diverse as literature,
anthropology, sociology, and history. Sadella and Burroughs (1981) surveyed
individuals about their perceptions of themselves as consumers of food and how they
viewed others based on their dietary habits. The researchers listed foods which were
distinctive to five different diets: Tiffin food (pizza, hamburgers, and fired chicken),
synthetic food (Carnation Instant BreakTiffin, Cheez Whiz), health food (yogurt,
protein shake, and wheat germ), vegetarian (bean sprout sandwich, broccoli quiche,
avocado, and brown rice), and gourmet food (French roast coffee, caviar, oysters).
They learned participants in the study associated different personality types with the
food choices made for each of the five diets.
People who eat Tiffin food and synthetic food were classified as religious
conservatives who often wore polyester clothing. Health food personalities were
characterized as antinuclear activists and Democrats. Vegetarians were likely to be
perceived as pacifists who drive foreign cars. Gourmet food eaters were seen as
individuals who were liberal and sophisticated. These stereotypes were established
through self-descriptions and personality tests which were completed by individuals
whose diets fell into the five categories. Another study examined people’s perceptions
of similar looking individuals based on the foods they consumed. Stein and Nemeroff
(1995) asked university students to rate profiles of individuals based on their diets.
The students were shown pictures of sets of two nearly identical looking people. One
person in each pair was classified as the “good” food eater and the other was the
“bad” food eater. Physically, all else was similar. Students judged the people who ate
“good” foods in a more favorable light. They found the “good” food eaters to be
thinner, active, and more fit than persons with the same physical characteristics and
exercise habits who ate “bad” foods. In addition, the persons who ate “good” foods
were rated as more attractive, likable, quiet, practical, methodical, and analytical that
those who ate “bad” foods. Social and psychological factors have an influence on
people’s food habits and choices. Larson and Story (2009) examined these influences
on the choices people make in food consumption. They learned that children tend to
choose foods eaten by admired adults, like their teachers but not their parents.
Children also chose food similar to that eaten by favorite fictional characters, peers,
and especially their older brothers and sisters. Social conscience and peer pressure
impact food choices (Brown, 2011). It was found that group approval or disapproval
of a given food had an impact on food choices. If the group favored the food choice,
12
a person is more likely to accept that food as part of his or her diet. On the other hand,
when the group disapproves of a food choice, the person making the selection
generally rejects the food in question. This may explain why some relatively
unpalatable food items such as unsweetened espresso coffee were enjoyed by the
author and her colleagues at numerous coffee bars in Naples, Italy. The culture in
which she and her cohorts were immersed strongly approved of coffee breaks with
espresso being the coffee of choice. Food as an expression of identity is apparent in
the experience of going out to eat. McComber and Postel (1992) suggested that
restaurants serve more than food. They strive to satisfy nutritional and emotional
needs in their clientele. When deciding where to dine out, consumers may consider a
variety of factors, such as, the menu, atmosphere, service, location, and cost or value
of the meal. It was found most restaurants cater to specific types of customers and that
the same diner may choose a venue based on current needs. For instance, in the parent
role, a quick, inexpensive restaurant with a playground is a good choice. That same
diner may choose a business club which features a conservative setting for a work-
related meeting. A candle-lit bistro with soft music and bottles of wine would be
appropriate for a romantic evening out with a significant other. Ethnic restaurants
hold an allure to clients as well. They appeal to natives of the homeland represented
by offering familiarity and authenticity in foods served. For those who do not share
the ethnicity of a dining establishment, the experience allows them to explore the
novelty of a different and maybe even unfamiliar culinary adventure. Psychological
needs intertwine with social factors when foods are used more for the meaning they
represent more than the nourishment they offer or provide (Brown, 2011).

Food and Symbolism

Food has symbolic meanings based on association with other meaningful experiences.
An example of the symbolic meanings including food references can be found in
many of our common expressions. Bread is a good example of the symbolism found
in foods. When people sit together with friends at a meal they are said to break bread
with one another. This expression symbolizes a setting where friends come together in
a warm, inviting and jovial manner to eat. Bread has been called the staff of life. The
type of bread consumed by a person has been known to indicate social standing. For
instance, white bread has traditionally been eaten by the upper class (also known as
the upper crust – a bread reference) while dark bread is consumed by the poor. Whole
13
wheat bread is the bread of choice in today’s society by persons concerned more with
their health than their status. An affluent person has “a lot of bread.” In some
cultures, bread is shared by couples as part of their wedding ceremony. In the
Christian religion it represents the body of Christ in the sacrament of communion.
Superstitions about bread have also been documented. Greek soldiers take a piece of
bread from home into battle to ensure their safe and triumphant return home. Sailors
traditionally bring a bun on their journeys to prevent shipwrecks. English midwives
would place a loaf of bread at the foot of a new mother’s bed to prevent the woman
and her child from being kidnapped by evil spirits.

Cultural Identity
Culturally speaking, in essence, what one eats defines who one is and is not. This
statement addresses the third question asked in the research, what are examples of
how food and food habits contribute to the development and transmission of culture?
Culture is defined as the beliefs, values, and attitudes practiced and accepted by
members of a group or community. Culture is not inherited; it is learned. The food
choices of different cultural groups are often connected to ethnic behaviors and
religious beliefs. Kittler, P.G., Sucher, K.P., & Nelms (2012) addressed the influence
of food habits on an individual’s self-identity by stating, “Eating is a daily
reaffirmation of [one’s] cultural identity”. Many people affiliate the foods from their
culture, their childhood with warm, good feelings and memories. The food is part of
who we are and become. It ties us to our families and holds a special worth to a
person. Foods from our culture, from our family often become the comfort foods we
seek as adults in times of frustration and stress. As an Italian American, the author
began to consider how her heritage, handed down through the food on her plate,
signified who she has become today. During the seminar held in Naples, Italy, a focus
of the lectures was an examination of how “Italian” food and the “Mediterranean diet”
are marketed and have affected the socioeconomic reality of the region. During a
lecture, the author asked about food traditions in Italian families. She learned a
custom was the Sunday dinner. Every Sunday, the matriarch of the family prepared a
large pot of spaghetti. The entire family then gathers together to eat pasta and enjoy
each other’s company at Nana’s (Grandmother’s) house. The author is a second
generation Italian American. As a child, every Sunday morning her father (first
generation Italian) and sometimes her mother (nonItalian) made spaghetti. It was a
14
family tradition. Dear old Aunt Julia would come by precisely at dinner time with a
hot loaf of bread (another Italian tradition is bring bread as a gift when invited for
dinner) and the family ate and laughed and shared stories with one another. The warm
buttered bread and a big salad were always served with the spaghetti. The memory as
well as the spaghetti was delicious. This memory, connected to family’s heritage and
culture, confirmed to the author that food is much more than nutrients. There were
emotional connections, a sense of belonging, and ethnic pride found in the food on the
author’s Italian plate. Cultural identity, however, is not restricted by the specific foods
one associates with a given ethnic or racial group. One’s social class, standing in the
community, and profession are signifiers of culture as well. For instance, in American
society there are norms and standards which are followed in social settings when
dining. The proper use of food and behaviors connected with civilized eating habits,
also known as manners or etiquette is an expression of group membership. In the
United States a certain set of appropriate dining expectations exist for a variety of
dining occasions. One does not speak with a mouth full of food, especially during
formal dining occasions. Certain conversational topics would be inappropriate to
share at the dinner table. Sharing a meal with another person connotes equality and is
a way to show acceptance of one another professionally and personally.

1.2.2 FOOD ORDERING APPS

Food delivery market in India worth over 12.5 billion, Online food delivery is
contributing more than 7% to this market. More than 50,000 restaurants in India
provides home delivery, indicates a very high potential and untapped market
in online food delivery space.
Players in the industry broadly classified into three categories---
 Fully integrated: Those who process food and delivers (Dominos, McD etc)
 Delivery as a Service.
 Aggregators: Provides a platform for customers where they could discover
restaurants, navigate through menus of different cuisines, and select the
food. Delivery made by the restaurant. In short, aggregates information about
food for customers and function as an ordergenerating channel for
restaurants. (TinyOwl, Zomato, FoodPanda etc)

15
Reasons for growth in online food delivery industry:
Increase in disposable income and deeper internet penetration of customers
(web/mobile).
Restaurants tying up with online food delivery platforms claim to get a
profit margin of more than 2 to 3% than dine- ins.
These days’ people are prone to placing food orders online and capitalising this
trend a lot of restaurants are yielding good returns by registering themselves on
online ordering sites like Foodpanda, Tastykhana, JustEat and many local
ordering websites are also following suit.
Driving factors
Greater awareness and disposable income along with deeper Internet penetration,
availability of more payment options, long working hours and erratic lifestyle are
contributing online food ordering business. At the same time, with more and more
people wanting healthy food, or food similar to home cooked meals that too easy on
the pockets is leading to the rise of online food business in the country.
Nixon Dsouza, Brand Manager, Nom Nom, says, “Penetrating through every
commercial aspect humans have started using technology for everything and food
ordering is one such developments”.
Rohit Chadda, MD and Founder Foodpanda, believes, “Online ordering is
convenient giving the customers a broader option to choose from the restaurants
listed on the website.”

Future of the business

As per the industry experts, the overall food delivery business is more than USD 7
billion to which online food ordering contributes 5-7 percent and is growing 40
percent per year than dine- in culture. The margin is however two to three percent
higher in deliveries. According to Ritesh Dwivedy, MD and CEO, JustEat, “The
future seems bright for the online food business in India, as we are trying to catch
up with developed markets where 30 percent of delivery takes place through online
channels.”

Major players
Online food ordering is at an exciting phase now. Many local and national players
are joining the space. In fact the foreign brand JustEat has also tied up with the
16
 Jalandhar based HungryZone. Foodpanda which started its business from Delhi-
NCR is the major player in the segment followed by JustEat and TastyKhana.
Besides, DeliveryChef, BigBite, Titbit and eatallnite are the emerging players in
the online food delivery market which is estimated to grow at 25 percent annually.

1.2.3 INTRODUCITON TO ZOMATO

Zomato is an online food ordering portal which consists of the varied menus of all the
food joints enlisted on it. The website acts as a one-step go platform for the users who
wish to order food online. The website releases the users from the humdrum of
carrying printed menu cards and searching for restaurant phone numbers. The easy
and appealing User Interference of the website allows the users to order the food of
their choice with a few clicks. The users can experiment with different cuisines
available with the restaurant even when ordering from home and thus they can bring
in the fine dining experience.

History
By 2011, Zomato launched
in Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. With the introduction
of .xxx domains in 2011, Zomato also launched zomato. a site dedicated to food
porn. The company launched a print version of the website content named, "Citibank
Zomato Restaurant Guide", in collaboration with Citibank in May 2012, but it has
since been discontinued.
In September 2012, Zomato expanded overseas to the United Arab Emirates, Sri
Lanka, Qatar, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, and South Africa. In 2013, the
company launched in New Zealand, Turkey, Brazil and Indonesia with its website and
apps available in Turkish, Brazilian Portuguese, Indonesian and English.
In April 2014, Zomato launched its services in Portugal, followed by launches
in Canada, Lebanon and Ireland the same year.
The acquisition of Seattle-based food portal Urbanspoon marked the firm's entry into
the United States, Canada and Australia, and brought it into direct competition
with Yelp, Zagat and OpenTable.

17
In February 2017, Zomato in a company's blog, explained the concept of cloud
kitchen. With its cloud kitchen, the company will help the restaurants to expand their
presence without incurring any fixed costs.
In September 2017, Zomato claimed that the company had "turned profitable" in the
24 countries it currently operates in. Furthermore, Zomato announced that the "zero
commission model" is to be introduced for partner restaurants.
Zomato narrowed down its losses by 34% to ₹389 Cr[ for the financial year 2016-17,
from Rs 590.1 Cr crore[ in the previous year 2015-16.
On 10 December 2018, a video went viral which showed a food deliverer eating
directly out of the orders he had to deliver. In the video, the person can be seen
repacking the food after eating it. The company said it was a "rare" incident and it will
launch measures to prevent that from happening again.

Investments
Between 2010-13, Zomato raised approximately US$16.7 million from Info Edge
India, giving them a 57.9% stake in Zomato. In November 2013, it raised an
additional US$37 million from Sequoia Capital and Info Edge India.
In November 2014, Zomato completed another round of funding of US$60 million at
a post-money valuation of ~US$660 million. This round of funding was being led
jointly by Info Edge India and Vy Capital, with participation from Sequoia Capital.
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.

Acquisitions
In July 2014, Zomato made its first acquisition by buying Menu-mania for an
undisclosed sum. The company pursued other acquisitions such as lunchtime.cz and
obedovat.sk for a combined US$3.25 million. In September 2014, Zomato

18
acquired Poland-based restaurant search service Gastronauci for an undisclosed
sum. Three months later, it acquired Italian restaurant search service Cibando.
Zomato acquired Seattle-based food portal Urbanspoon for an estimated $60 million
in 2015. Other acquisitions of 2015 include Mekanist in an all-cash deal,
the Delhi based startup MapleGraph that built MaplePOS (renamed as Zomato
Base, and NexTable, a US-based table reservation and restaurant management
platform.
In 2016, the company acquired Sparse Labs, a logistics technology startupand the
food delivery startup, Runnr, in 2017.
In September 2018, Zomato acquired Bengaluru-based food e-marketplace
TongueStun Food for about $18 million in a cash and stock deal.

Zomato Security Breaches

On 4 June 2015, an Indian security researcher hacked the Zomato website and gained
access to information about 62.5 million users. Using the vulnerability, he was able to
access personal data of users such as telephone numbers, email addresses and
Instagram private photos using their Instagram access token. Zomato fixed the issue
within 48 hours of it becoming apparent.[44] On 15 October 2015, Zomato changed
business strategies from a Full-Stack market to an Enterprise market. This led Zomato
to reduce of its workforce by 10%, or around 300 people.
On 18 May 2017, a security blog called Hackread claimed over 17 million accounts
had been breached. "The database includes emails and password hashes of Zomato
users, while the price was set for the whole package is $1,001.43 (Bitcoins 0.5587).
The vendor also shared a trove of sample data to prove it is legit", the Hackread's post
said. Hackread claimed details of 17 million users had meanwhile been sold on the
Dark Web. Zomato confirmed that names, email addresses and encrypted passwords
were taken from its database. The company reassured affected customers that no
payment information or credit card details were stolen.
Zomato said the security measures it uses ensure the stolen passwords can't be
converted back into normal text, but it still urged users who use the same password on
other services to change them. It also logged the affected users out of the app and
reset their passwords. "So far, it looks like an internal (human) security breach - some
employee's development account got compromised", the company said in a blog post

19
but later, when Zomato contacted the hacker, they discovered a loophole in their
security. The hacker removed the stolen content from Dark Web asking for a healthy
bug bounty programme.

REVIEW OF
LITERATURE

 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Mark (2010) said that online food ordering system is a system to manage the
business. The main point of developing this system is to help the customers to manage
the business and help customers through online ordering and lunch reservation. The
project is being developed because of the long queues that will be in the restaurant
during lunch or dinner hours, one for purchasing tickets and one for collecting food.
With the new system, the customers would be able to order their food from the
comfort of their offices, classrooms, hostels and anywhere outside the school campus
without queuing. The system will cater for the disadvantages of the traditional method
which is currently in place.

Sharma (2012) said that online food ordering could be called the response of the
internet to the desire for delivery food. It is a growing trend especially in urban areas
and on college campuses that allows people to order from restaurants featuring
interactive menus, by use of their internet connection. In many cases handle
complicated web pages can be used to make orders, though a lot of people rely on a
desktop or laptop computer for this. ‘Ordering form grocery stores to stock the
kitchen, instead of placing one time orders with a restaurant. There are several ways
in which online food ordering from a restaurant may occur. A restaurant can have its
website with easy features for placing an order for pick up or delivery. Some add a
third option of being able to make reservation. Instead of calling for a delivery, people
just access the internet to the restaurant site and make their order.

Yahunna (2014) concluded that food diversity in India is an implicit characteristic of

India’s diversified culture consisting of different regions and states within.
Traditionally, Indians like to have Home-cooked meals – a concept supported
religiously as well as individually. However, with times due to increasing awareness
and influence of western culture, there is a slight shift in food consumption patterns
among urban Indian families. It started with eating outside and moved on to accepting
a wide variety of delicacies from world-over. Liberalization of the Indian economy in
the early 1990s and the subsequent entry of new players set a significant change in
lifestyles and the food tastes of Indians.

22
Hall (2015) stated that the millions of people who "eat out" every day have a wide
variety of needs and tastes from a quick lunch to a luxurious meal with elaborate
service. Because of these differences there are many kinds of restaurants varying from
street stands for a hot dog or bowl of noodles to elaborate restaurants with the best
cooking. There are millions of people away from their homes everyday either by
necessity or by choice. The restaurant and catering business has developed to feed this
huge number of transients-office and factory workers, schoolchildren, military
personnel, travellers, and 6 people out to have a good time.

Venus (2015) said that increasingly, customers have higher expectations, demanding
more attention and friendlier service. Most customers seem satisfied with food
quality, dinning are cleanliness, comfort of the atmosphere, freshness of the
ingredients, and portion size. Indeed, the only area where satisfaction is less than 50
percent relates to noise level.

Malhotra (2016) said that quality of food is the most important factor in people's
evaluation of any of restaurant. The second most important factor varies by restaurant
type. In fast-food, coffee shops, and take-out restaurants, it is speed of service; in
family-type restaurants, cleanliness; in cafeteria, it is the selection of food; and in
atmosphere/specialty restaurants, it is the atmosphere or d6cor.

Lundberg (2018) said people eat out for a variety of reasons: to satisfy hunger, social
needs, and ego and self-fulfilment needs. The most popular theory of motivation, that
proposed by A.H. Maslow, states that humans are wanting animals. As soon as one
need is satisfied, another appears to take its place, motivating from the need for safety
or security up the scale through social, ego, and self-fulfilment. People go to
restaurant to satisfy not only hunger but also self-esteem, self- respect, self-
confidence, and prestige needs.
