Next time he won't take the risk, and others won't take risk, then Govt will have to import. And people will end up paying 50k for one shot, like they did for Remdesivir. Because stocks won’t be ever enough for country like ours. https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/dont-agree-with-rs-80-000-crore-figure-for-covid-vaccine-distribution-centre-2302956?amp=1&akamai-rum=off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not post-covid scenario, but from last 1.5-2 yrs. A fine-dining rest near my house got shutdown last year, because the food they used to serve cannot be delivered. And there was cheap biriyani joint in the same building which was doing super well. And after lockdown got over it has picked up once again. Many of rests in my area have no sitting place, just delivery and takeways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hire cooks and you're done. Only downside is swiggy and Zomato takes a cut. Just don't know how substantial it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It varies from rest to rest. What I know (slightly outdated info from a rest), that Swiggy takes 145Rs per worth 1000Rs orders. it can be 2 deliveries or even 4. Most of the promotions offers are absorbed by Swiggy/Zomato only, rests don't need to give discounts. Over all, it is very good for rests because most of rests can never hit full operating capacity on weekdays. BTW cooks are very very expensive. A friend wanted to start a Kebab Joint here, found a perfect chef, and salary that he accepted was 90k a month.

Not true. Here in Delhi, restaurants and pubs used to be packed from Friday to Sunday. Places like kebab joints and dominos/burger king used to be packed on weekdays as well. Post covid, don't know how the scene will be. Don't know when we'll come out of this Chinese plague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even now I see them springing back, at least on weekends. Edited October 1, 2020 by Bird Bird Bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have some gol gappa hawkers who have popped up again, but nobody is really eating there. I've only seen 1 or 2 construction labourers eating here and there.
