Flipkart Plans Bengaluru Food Delivery Pilot with 300 Restaurants and Discount Model
Flipkart is preparing to launch a food delivery pilot in Bengaluru within one to two months, engaging about 300 restaurants including local eateries and national quick-service chains. The company plans to operate via a standalone app rather than through the government-backed ONDC platform. Initial commercial terms involved a 10-11% commission and price matching, but the model now includes a discount cost-sharing arrangement where restaurants fund discounts on smaller orders and share costs on larger ones. Discussions with the National Restaurant Association of India have been preliminary.
