Restaurants' Buddy In The Cloud

Several industries in India have been adversely hit by the pandemic, and among them, the hospitality industry is one of the industries which have been hit really hard. The restaurant business in the country has also been very badly hit by the pandemic. Post lockdown we are seeing a scenario where some restaurants in India’s foodservice industry have been closed permanently and many are finding it hard to run the show amidst the daily costs. However, amidst this depressing scenario, the online food delivery market has a huge potential to grow in India.

According to a market research study, the online food delivery market in India is expected to expand at compound annual growth rates of ~30.55 percent (based on revenue) and ~10.19 percent (based on the number of users) during the 2020-2024 period.

And one of the integral facets of online food delivery market is cloud kitchen.

By sensing the huge potential for home delivered meals market in urban India in present and also in the near future, two enterprising friends, Inderdeep Singh & Loveneet Singh, thought about entering the cloud kitchen segment and they translated their thought into action through Outlet Buddy.

Outlet Buddy is just like your regular restaurant kitchen; the only essential difference is that it operates online. With Outlet Buddy, restaurants don’t need to shop from multiple vendors for raw materials and can simply order all their dishes from the single window of Outlet Buddy.
