“Zomato has taken multiple steps to ensure that this increase in the running costs for delivery partners does not impact their net take-home earnings,” a statement said.
“Our delivery partners travel 100-200 km/day to deliver food to our customers. The increase in fuel prices has increased their monthly spend on fuel by ₹600-800 (about 3 percent of monthly income) from their take-home income,” Goyal said
“The recent increase in prices amounts to an additional monthly spend of Rs 600-800 (about 3 percent of monthly income) from their take-home income,” the company said.
On the other side, Zomato has also introduced long-distance return pay, where for every long-distance order completed, its delivery partner would either receive another order within 15 minutes that would bring them back closer to their base areas of working or they will receive an additional payout for traveling the extra distance, “the company said.
