The customer will receive food the next day. "State-of-the-art mobile refrigeration technology preserves the food without the need to freeze it or add any kind of preservative," said Zomato.
After receiving the food, you can microwave, pan-fry, and air-fry the food, just like any other dish out of the refrigerator. "All types of dishes have undergone lab testing to ensure that the aroma, texture, and taste remain of high quality," said Zomato.
As of now, the service is only available in a few cities. Zomato said, "We are launching this for select customers in Gurugram and south Delhi. We will rapidly scale this to other cities in the next few weeks. "
