Bengaluru Restaurants Warn of Swiggy and Zomato Boycott Over Commission Disputes
Bengaluru restaurant and hotel associations have threatened to boycott food delivery platforms Swiggy and Zomato from August 15 if their demands are not met. They cite high commissions, unauthorized deductions, mandatory discounting, and lack of transparency in payment settlements as key issues. The associations seek fair partnership terms, clear billing, consent before promotional charges, and opt-out options for advertisements. Meetings with the platforms are planned before the deadline to resolve these concerns and avoid disruption to online food orders.
