Under the same ‘Marriott on Wheels’ programme, the company aims to take the food delivery service in India to the next level with the country gradually unlocking.
As a safety measure, Zomato will perform contact-less delivery on all prepaid orders. The delivery partner will leave the food at the doorstep instead of an in-person exchange.
“We are happy to partner with Marriott International and feature ‘Marriott on Wheels’ on the Zomato app. As consumers look for new ways to indulge and celebrate special occasions in the ‘new normal’, we believe this partnership will be important in rendering premium food experiences,” Zomato Food Delivery Chief Operating Officer Mohit Sardana said.
With this collaboration with Zomato, it aims to further expand and strengthen its home delivery service in India. The initial phase is expected to cover around 30 hotel in cities including Bengaluru, Gurugram, Delhi, Pune, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Raipur, Chennai, Kochi and Surat. More cities will be added as more hotels join the service provider.
“Revolutionizing the way food delivery works and elevating the service elements, we have partnered with an established brand like Zomato. This will help us provide seamless end-to-end solutions that involve quality, the speed with all the necessary protocols followed,” Marriott International South Asia Senior Vice-President Neeraj Govil said in a report.
As per reports, all delivery partners will be wearing masks and using the Aarogya Setu App. All the Marriott locations will have a sanitization station for the Zomato delivery partners.
