Thanks to technology and eCommerce, life has become a lot more easy. Be it shopping, booking tickets or planning holidays, everything can be done with the click of a button. Food delivery sites are one such thing that have made the lives of the working crowd simpler.
Becoming popular by the day, these sites promise to offer a variety of home cooked food.
iTiffin.in, an online site that delivers fresh and nutritious food, was started in 2013 with the concept of providing healthy and nutritious food to the busy people of the City.
“It was started to promote healthy eating habits among the masses,” says Lester, who handles the B2C marketing of the firm. It has only been two years since its inception and they already deliver around 2,500 meals a day in and around the City.
The meals are customised to suit each individual’s diet and delivered hot at the door step on the exact time. Offering both vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals, they provide Continental and ‘biryani’ meals on special days. These are categorised into calorie meals and include 500, 550 and 600 calorie meals.
A combination of ‘chapathi’, rice, ‘dal’, ‘sabji’ and a drink, these also include antioxidant, prebiotic and regular meals. While the antioxidant meals are rich in vitamins, the prebiotic ones are rich in carbohydrates.
Another firm that is popular among the techies is Papastiffin.com, which was started in 2007. The site targets the corporate sector and has spread its wings across the City.
Taking bulk orders from corporate offices, this firm delivers home cooked food with salads and desserts. Their meal includes — salad, ‘rotis’, ‘dal’, two types of ‘sabji’, rice, ‘raita’ and also ‘kheer’. While the vegetarian platter has two ‘sabjis’, their non vegetarian platter has one ‘sabji’ and one chicken starter.
And this sumptuous meal is priced at Rs 80 and Rs 100 for vegetarians and non-vegetarians respectively. They serve fresh and hot meals to offices with a minimum order for 50 people.
With both North Indian and South Indian meals, they change their menu regularly. Started by the father and son duo — Jagadish Kumar and Tushar, the venture is functioning successfully in the City for eight years.
“Home-cooked food is sought-after by everyone and we serve a variety of it daily to the techies. The quality and taste are strictly maintained,” says Tushar.
Cooked-at-home.com connects one with the local food vendors, mainly homemakers.
All one has to do is type the City name and the area. The details of the vendors pop up and one can choose from the available options and order homemade breakfast and meals.
“These sites are a boon to all techies. They deliver fresh homecooked food which have a high nutrition value and come in an affordable platter,” wraps up Karthik, an IT professional.
