How do you procure the vegetables?

As far as the vegetables procurement is concerned, we place the order at 11 pm, just before midnight. We procure from farms and the local market. Stringent quality assurance procedures are followed in procurement to ensure quality and freshness.

You offer massive discounts to the customers. Tell us about your customer base.

The idea of giving discounts is to acquire customers and build a strong customer base. Currently we have close to 4000 customers who order regularly and we hope to build upon this base by attracting more customers.

What payment options do the customers have?

Customers have options of paying through credit cards, debit cards, net banking and cash on delivery.

How do you ensure quality?

We are very proactive about sticking to the quality standards. For example, we only use imported machines for cutting. The most important factor with imported machines is that they are rust free. Hygiene is not compromised because of use of these machines and saving time is the obvious advantage.

What are the various modes of ordering for customers?
