Reportedly food delivery apps have made it easier for people to order food from the comfort of their home, but one hyderabad based Zomato user used the app not only to satiate his hunger, but also reach his own house from the restaurant. Meanwhile a Facebook post by Obesh Komirisetty has been going viral on social media with many lauding his innovative thinking of hitching a ride with the food delivery executive after he was unable to find public transport or a cab late at night near a shopping mall in hyderabad's Hitec City.
The post reads "It was around 11.50 pm, I am at Inorbit Mall road and looking for an auto but couldn’t find anything to reach my room. So I opened Uber app but ride fares were high it’s around 300 Rs and also I am little hungry (sic)". Obesh added "I just opened Zomato and searched for food shops around me, I found one dosa bandi near me and ordered Egg Dosa. The delivery boy came and he was going to pick up my order at dosa bandi. So I called him and said this is my order. I asked him to drop me at the delivery location (My Room Address). So he dropped me along with my order at my room. And he asked me, ‘Sir please give 5 star rating’. I said OK.Thanks to Zomato for the free ride”.
Moreover Zomato also replied to Obesh with the comment "modern problems require modern solutions". However, one person raised concerns, pointing out, and hope now everyone doesn't start doing this."
