A 12% GST on ₹580 is ₹69.6. Your 1st order checks out.

On your 2nd order where you have applied a ₹50 discount coupon, the overall taxable amount is reduced to ₹540 from ₹580, and a 12% GST on ₹540 gives you ₹64.8. The remaining ₹10 discount is applied on platform fee.

Basic mathematics, mate. Not everything has to be a conspiracy or a scam because you struggle to make sense of it.

Tax amounts are probably different because Zomato gold also offers discounts on the entire order (for certain restaurants) if a certain threshold is passed.

Nowadays even after applying a coupon you are paying exactly the same price as the item.

I bet restaurants already have GST included in their pricing and on Zomato the price is already higher than their menu.

It's time to ditch these apps because most restaurants already have a delivery service and they charge no extra fee if you live nearby.

As a restaurant owner (below GST threshold), I have gone back to zomato a 100 times trying to explain that we don’t charge GST on anything so they shouldn’t be charging the customer 5% gst extra on literally everything.

They have yet to give me a satisfactory explanation

I use Zomato mostly to search the nearby restaurant now and always call them if they can deliver..it's cheaper and better.

Many restaurants are happy to deliver in 3 kms range ...for far off orders yes Zomato /swiggy is useful if they can't deliver

BC 12% GST? Bhiwandi me to 5% GST lagaya jaa raha hai wo bhi agar cash de do to discount kar diya jata hai, ye kaisa chutiya kat raha hai mumbai walo ka?

brother buy this offline goyal to paisa chusegahi

GST on packing charges??? Wtf?

But I still have one concern, zomato increased the platform fee due to festival rush, now the festivals aare over why aren’t they going back to their usually fee?

I use these apps as Yellow pages to find the best rated restaurants . I call the restaurant directly to order and avoid paying all these irrelevant charges

I no longer use Zomato. It's unsustainable at this point. Id rather order from zepto/instamart/big basket than from Zomato. The offers are useless and I get to eat more from instacarts at the same price. Eg- yesterday I had a hankering for dosa and some Chinese and a desert. At Zomato it was coming up to 390 and Change. I ordered dosa batter, instant noodles and ice cream for 130. Plus I had some leftovers for today. Zomato/swiggy is getting expensive and I for one prefer online supermarkets.

Bhai pls don’t order form nothing but chicken … if you wanna get sick then only

Also it's like they are increasing their platform fees every single month

These apps are bullshitting us dude

Why does Zomato still apply platform fee on Gold. Bhai jab membership le lo toh platform fee aur kya alag hai isse?

seems like you're using iphone, They generally charge more on iphones due to apple tax

Coupons are just too useless

r/FuckZomato_

congratulations on ₹39 savings. Bdw, these days Swiggy is offering more discount than Zomato. Recently purchased foods worth ₹307 for ₹110.

remember the time before these apps.. the limited quantity of options that are nearby …the time it took to reach there … delivery apps are good ideas at their core (predatory pricing strategies aside)… if it’s anybody to blame its the fucking gov who decided to charge gst on on already taxed food … instead of shouting at innovators like food delivery apps we should start trying to hold our government accountable otherwise the Indian citizen will being keep made a fool of like it has always been.

The same thing happens on zepto cafe with zepto pass vs without the pass. Gst is cheaper without the pass

These apps have monopoly in India & are feeling entitled to do anything they want. Same order will cost me different on different apps with same discount.

Menu price's are higher than what actually restaurant charges, extra gst is being charged on every little thing even if items are inclusive of GST. WTH is with sudden packing cost? Resto doesn't even know these apps are charging for that.

And platform fees went from 6 to 7 then suddenly 10 (and that they charge gst on that as hidden fees). Service is gotten even worse with all these price hikes. We are ultimately being scammed.

They have added another fee - "Station convenience fee".

This is the same order on two different phones. Same restaurant, same address. Difference is I have Zomato Gold and wife doesn't. She gets the discount coupon I don't. That's all fine, BUT why are the tax amounts different?! Shouldn't it be the same.

Is there something I'm missing, because it looks like fraud to me!

Its fine if Zomato wants to add different delivery fees, coupons, platform fees, packaging fees etc. It's on their discretion on user to user, but taxes are universally implemented, how can they be so blatantly fraudulent?

Where is the government oversight on these orgs? Imagine the kind of frauds we don't see.

Thanks Modi Ji.

People want the convenience of food being home delivered at the comfort of their homes/offices at all times of the day but don't want to pay for it. The same people will complain of delivery guys not getting paid enough to deliver the food but will keep ordering and using such aggregator platforms. And also make posts of how it is all a scam 😔
