Zepto Cafe, the rapid food delivery arm of quick commerce company Zepto, has achieved a major milestone, surpassing 100,000 daily orders. The announcement was made by the company's co-founder and CEO, Aadit Palicha, highlighting the platform's rapid growth in the quick-service food industry. This achievement comes just weeks after Zepto Cafe crossed the 75,000 daily orders threshold, demonstrating the increasing demand for its 10-minute food delivery service. In a LinkedIn post, Palicha also revealed that Zepto Cafe is on track to reach an annualised gross merchandise value (GMV) of $100 million, with a steady-state gross margin nearing 50 per cent.
"Zepto Cafe has now hit 100,000 orders per day. Zepto Cafe has hit 100,000 orders per day. That's closing in on a $100M Annualized GMV run rate with a 50% steady-state gross margin. Miles to go before we sleep, but I believe this is the beginning of a revolution in India's QSR industry," Palicha wrote.
Launched in December 2024, Zepto Cafe claims to deliver coffee, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals within 10 minutes, leveraging dark stores strategically placed for ultra-fast fulfilment. As a relatively new player in the market, the platform has already scaled to more than 10 per cent of the size of established QSR chains in India.

Once executed at Scale this might be the biggest revolution in food specially at the places which are fast moving, both husband & wife are working, students & will challenge all restaurants
If I would have ordered anything from zomato, it would taken atleast 30 minutes and the food would never be so hot.
