February and March have been record months for the food delivery segment on the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). The network has seen the monthly food orders cross the 5 lakh-mark in March. This comes at a time when many key restaurant players have been onboarded in the past few months, with food orders through ONDC now being placed from over 200 cities.
Shireesh Joshi, Chief Business Officer, ONDC told businessline, “ While we continue to add new geographies and new categories, what has been heartening to note is that existing categories also continue to witness strong growth momentum. Last year, in March, we were barely doing about 4,000 food orders, and this March, we have crossed the 5 lakh orders mark. The number of restaurants available on the network has also now tripled. The Holi weekend witnessed a 10-15 per cent jump in terms of food orders over the previous weekend.”
Over the past few months, major players such as Domino’s, Rebel Foods, McDonald’s, Burger King and Biryani by Kilo among others have onboarded on ONDC either directly or through buyer apps.
