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.
