1.1 Introduction to the Industry
An online food ordering system is software that enables restaurants to accept and manage orders
placed via the internet. The majority of online ordering systems have two key components. The first is
a website or Smartphone app that allows hungry customers to browse the menu and place an online
order. The second feature is an admin management system that allows restaurants to accept and
handle orders.
In 2023, the Indian online food delivery market will be worth $4.35 billion. Individuals can order and
receive food products at their doorstep using online food delivery services. It entails going to
the website or app, choosing from a wide range of cuisines, and paying using various
methods. The user is informed about the expected time for food preparation and delivery via
the website/application. These characteristics, combined with characteristics such as
convenience, speed, and precision of delivery, are driving up demand for these services in
India.
Furthermore, as a result of the increasing number of cases of COVID-19, some of the major
players, such as zomato, swiggy and uber eats, have implemented contactless delivery

services. These programmers ensure that the food does not come into contact with bare hands
until reaching the consumer, and that it is distributed safely with appropriate social distancing
steps
Swiggy
Introduction
Swiggy is India's most common and useful online food ordering and delivery service. Swiggy is a
Bangalore-based food delivery service that was established in 2014. As of March 2021, the company
was working out of 100 Indian cities.
Swiggy Stores was launched in early 2019 as an extension of Swiggy's general product delivery
service Swiggy launched Swiggy Go, an instant pick-up and drop-off service, in September 2019. The
service is used to pick up and deliver a wide range of goods, including laundry and paper or package
deliveries to both business and retail clients.
Swiggy is an Indian food ordering and delivery service headquartered in Bangalore. Swiggy was
founded on the idea of offering a one-stop shop for food ordering and delivery, from the best
neighborhood restaurants to urban fare. It is a one-stop shop for ordering food from a variety of
restaurants. They have their own unique delivery fleet that picks up orders from restaurants and
delivers them to customers. Since they have their own fleet, they can offer customers a no-minimum-
order policy at any restaurant and accept online payments at all of their partner restaurants.
HISTORY OF SWIGGY
Sriharsha Majety and Nandan Reddy, two of the company's founders, created the "Bundl" ecommerce
website in 2013 to help with courier services and shipping products within India.Bundl was quickly
paused, and they shifted their focus to food distribution. The food delivery industry was in chaos at
the time, with prominent startups including Foodpanda (later acquired by Ola Cabs), TinyOwl (later
acquired by Zomato), and Ola Cafe (later closed) struggling.
Rahul Jaimini, a former Myntra employee who created Swiggy and its parent company Bundl
Technologies in 2014, was approached by Majety and Reddy. (P.Pon Sankar) It all began in 2014,
9|Page
when two BITS Pilani graduates, Sriharsha Majety and Nandan Reddy, decided to make life easier by
Changing the Way India Eats - all with the tap of a finger! All they needed was the technology to
power their dream of hyperlocal food delivery, and they were introduced to Rahul Jaimini, who
brought this vision to life with the first website. Swiggy was launched as a result of this.Swiggy
started out by signing up a few restaurants in Bangalore’s Koramangala neighborhood in August of
2014. Soon after, the first group of Hunger Saviors arrived to deliver food in less than 40 minutes.
Swiggy received its first round of funding shortly after and released the app in May of 2015. Fun fact:
The technology that brings delicious food to your doorstep was created entirely in-house. (P.Pon
Sankar) Swiggy grew rapidly thanks to customer love and support, first across Bangalore and then
across the world. The rest, as they say, is history. Swiggy is now India's most famous food ordering
and delivery service. Swiggy's cutting-edge technology, large and nimble delivery service, and
outstanding customer focus have enabled a slew of benefits, including lightning-fast deliveries, real-
time order monitoring, and no order minimums, all while enjoying your favorite meal wherever you
want it

(REVIEW OF LITERATURE)

2.1 Reviews
In his research, Jyotishman Das reveals the different factors that impact customers' decisions to use
online food delivery services. He investigated the most popular online food delivery service portal
among customers. He has also shown the barriers that consumers face when using online food
delivery services. Each food ordering app has its own specialisations, such as Zomato's best discounts
and Swiggy's on-time delivery.
In her studies, Dr. Mitali Gupta (2018), discusses the influence of food delivery apps on restaurants.
The study discusses the advantages, as well as the positive and negative impacts of electronic food
delivery and various online food delivery apps. The writer has also concentrated on food delivery app
strategies, with a particular emphasis on Zomato and Swiggy.
According to Megha Gera (2019), the aim of their study on "Operations research in food delivery"
was to see how operations research could be applied in the food industry. And they've looked at how
the studies would assist both restaurants and food delivery services at the same time. They also stated
that operations research can be used by businesses to assess how to choose 14 between various food
deliveries companies in order to reduce costs and increase profit margins.
Suryadev Singh Rathore (2018) discovered that in order to provide their customers with a complete
satisfaction experience, online food ordering companies must pay attention to the quality of
information, mobile application and website design, security and privacy for payment systems. It also
finds that the system values merchandise price, ease of payment, special offers, and discounts.
Ms. Neha Gupta and Dr.Deepali Bhatnagar (2017), they have concentrated on students and their
behaviour towards online shopping, as it is found that students use online portal more often than
others. By the way of survey, they have found the respondents preference on the portal, usage of
money per purchase. Factor analysis results reveal that Experimental Uniqueness, Customer Service
and Convenience tend to be the three significant dimensions as to why customers prefer internet
shopping. The results of factor analysis show that Experimental 15 Uniqueness, Customer Service,
and Convenience are the three most important dimensions for why consumers prefer online shopping

Chris (2011) some businesses assume that if a restaurant is promoted quickly, customers can book
tables immediately. However, in today's market, some restaurants are unable to attract customers due
to high penetration, especially in urban areas where customers are more cautious and people do not
have enough time to visit restaurants. Restaurant owners form partnerships with food ordering and
delivery systems to provide food to customers in this situation. Restaurants profit from increased
exposure as a result of food delivery services.
(Lara Sowinski., 2021), When restaurants work together well, food delivery services are available.
Around the same time, the customer's location plays an important role in food distribution because if
the customer's location is far away from the restaurant, the food delivery service provider is put under
more strain.
Kimes&Laqué (2020), Food from the web the ordering service is an essential aspect of the restaurant
industry. Some food supply chain restaurants, such as Pizza Hut, Dominos, and McDonald's, have
developed mobile apps from which customers can place orders. However, the telephone is still the
most common method of ordering food. The majority of restaurant data on 17 online food ordering
services' websites is owned by the online food ordering service, while telephone access is limited to
the specific hotel or restaurant. Consumers would find it more convenient to use a mobile app.

(RESEARCH METHODOLOGY)
16 | P a g e
MEANING OF RESEARCH-
Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a technical
sense. According to Clifford Woody research comprises defining and redefining
problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions; collecting, organising and
evaluating data; making deductions and reaching conclusions; and at last carefully
testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis.
17 | P a g e
2. To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or group
(studies with this object in view are known as descriptive research studies);
3. To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is
associated with something else (studies with this object in view are known as
diagnostic research studies);
4. To test a hypothesis of a causal relationship between variables (such studies are
known as hypothesis-testing research studies).
RESEARCH DESIGN
An impactful research design makes sure the least bias in the data collected and increases
trust in analyzed research information. A research design which leaves the least margin of
errors can be considered the best research design.
Exploratory research:
An exploratory design is conducted about a research problem when there are few or
no earlier studies to refer to or rely upon to predict an outcome. The focus is on
gaining insights and familiarity for later investigation or undertaken when research
problems are in a preliminary stage of investigation. Exploratory designs are often
used to establish an understanding of how best to proceed in studying an issue or
what methodology would effectively apply to gathering information about the issue.
Descriptive research:
As the name implies, it is intended to describe the present status of this type of
design that does not require a hypothesis, to begin with. These analyses are generated
from existing data.
It is a fact-finding investigation with educate interpretation. It is the simplest type of
research. It is more specific than explanatory study, as it has focused on particular
18 | P a g e
aspect of the problem studied it is designed to get her descriptive information and
provide information for formulating more sophisticated studies.
Causal research:
Causality studies may be thought of as understanding a phenomenon in terms of
conditional statements in the form, “If X, then Y.” This type of research is used to
measure what impact a specific change will have on existing norms and assumptions.
Most social scientists seek causal explanations that reflect tests of hypotheses. Causal
effect (nomothetic perspective) occurs when variation in one phenomenon, an
independent variable, leads to or results, on average, in variation in another
phenomenon, the dependent variable
DATA COLLECTION
Data collection is the process of gathering and measuring data, information or any variables
of interest in a standardized and established manner that enables the collectors to answer or
test hypothesis and evaluate outcomes of the particular collection.
• Primary data is data originated for the first time by the researcher through direct efforts
and experience, specifically for the purpose of addressing his research problem. The data can
be collected through various methods like surveys, observations, physical testing, mailed
questionnaires, questionnaire filled and sent by enumerators, personal interviews, telephonic
interviews, focus groups, case studies, etc.
• Secondary data implies second-hand information which is already collected and recorded
by any person other than the user for a purpose, not relating to the current research problem.
It is the readily available form of data collected from various sources like censuses,
government publications, internal records of the organisation, reports, books, journal articles,
websites and so on.
SAMPLING
19 | P a g e
Sampling techniques
Probability:
In this sampling method the probability of each item in the universe to get selected for
research is the same. Hence the sample collected through this method is totally random in
nature. Therefore, it is also known as Random sampling
•Simple Random Sampling
•Systematic Sampling
•Stratified Sampling
•Cluster Sampling
•Area Sampling
•Multi-stage Sampling
Non probability:
In this sampling method the probability of each item in the universe to get selected for
research is not the same. Hence the sample collected through method is not random in nature.
Therefore, it is known as Non-random sampling.
•Judgment sampling
•Convenience sampling
•Quota sampling
•Panel sampling
•Snowball sampling
Primary data was collected through a questionnaire, addressed to social media users
available (family and friends). The questionnaire was distributed through an online link.
Secondary data was collected through published articles and reports, books, information
collected through websites, internal company records.

CHAPTER-6
(RECOMMENDATIONS)
32 | P a g e
6.1 RECOMMENDATIONS
Food apps should boost their payment protection so that customers aren't hesitant to make online
purchases.
Consumers mostly use these apps to access deals, so they can have more of them.
They should broaden their scope to include local vendors, as customers prefer them.
To attract customers, restaurant owners can increase online ordering by simply adding new
distribution platforms.
Though online orders are welcome, quality and quantity services must be preserved.
Because the majority of customers order online using their phones, restaurant owners can support
them by effectively responding to phone calls that include human contact. Customers face several
obstacles because the web is sluggish, so restaurant owners must know how to position orders quickly
and efficiently.
Restaurants should concentrate on providing the highest quality and selection of food items to their
customers, and more and more customers should be encouraged to order food online, as it is
becoming more preferred by individuals to order online.
It is simple to use and saves time, but further development is needed in order to place more orders
