Yumzy is the eco-system that empowers restaurants to make them independent and self sustained witout depending on third party aggregators any more. Its ironic that the online ordering platforms these days charge steep rates as commissions and restaurants spend additional charges towards click ads and discounts to get the visibility and conversions from huge list of restaurants listed in the app. These online food ordering and delivery companies charge delivery fees from the customers as well as extract commission from the restaurateurs. In the end restaurants never make money but live with the hope that one day they will meet the cost and gain profits. Mr. Suresh Redyam CEO - Yumzy.

What’s worse is the fact that the restaurants also lose their existing consumer base, unaware of who their loyal and frequent customers are. In order to compensate for the charges, the restaurants land up inflating the prices or reducing the quantity of the dishes or even compromise on quality. Now this is something that hampers the brand and consumer loyalty that Restaurants are not realize. They are kind of stuck now and for them Yumzy is their helping buddy..Mr. Suresh added.

“We want Yumzy to become a seamless and multi-dimensional food platform that caters to the needs of the food industry and consumers. We envision to project food with all of its characteristics like taste, feel, lifestyle, health, etc., and to make it as relevant to a particular individual given any location, weather and time; so a consumer sees a complete 360° perspective to match his desired result.Our mission to create an organized food platform for the food industry to enable them to find the right consumers to their products; AND provide an enhanced consumer centric atmosphere where he or she has complete freedom to choose the right product for their needs at a fair price,”said Suresh Redyam

Currently, Yumzyisonboarding restaurants at a pace of 120 restaurants per day from 4 cities. In fact, it has on-boarded more than2000 restaurants in less than 3 months. With a positive acceptance and response rate of more than 70%, the company is looking to targeting 20,000 restaurants in next 6 month and 65000 in next 2 years with covering of more than 24 cities.

When asked about how technology is helping Yumzy to find right restaurant partner, Akash Shah, the Heading Technology at Laalsa said, “As a platform there was a huge challenge in front of us to identify the best restaurants out there. We wanted to make sure that the restaurants listed on our platform should be the ones focused on parameters like quality, hygiene & customer loyalty.”

He also added, “We wanted to filter the best out of the rest; this includes popular as well as new restaurants. Yumzy came with the innovative idea by combining technologies of data science & artificial intelligence with market analytics which helps in picking the right restaurants from each category and cuisine per area”.
