3.Many times, the discounts are not real and taxes and surcharges are applied to bump the price up
4.Inaccurate billing calculations have been found with multiple vendors
5.eCommerce sites and apps like Zomato, Swiggy, Foodpanda, etc. are just aggregators with little or no control of what the Individual Eateries serve
6.Deliveries are mostly delayed
7.Basic accompaniments like sauces, seasonings like oregano/chillies/sauces, tissues, etc. supplied when you order from the eateries directly, are missing if ordered through these sites and apps
8.Many restaurants listed are not even certified by FSSAI, local food department
9.Regular issues with payments occur many times with most of the apps
10.Once you sign up on these apps/sites, you invariably end up receiving many unsolicited sms and marketing calls.
