New Delhi: Zomato, a food delivery platform, has announced a new feature for the cash-on-delivery orders. According to Zomato's CEO Deepinder Goyal social media post on platform X, customers can now ask for the balance amount, if any, of cash on delivery orders to be added to their 'Zomato Money' account, and utilise it for placing future orders or dining out. 

CEO Deepinder Goyal thanked Tata Group firm BigBasket for the inspiration behind the solution. "For cash on delivery orders, finding exact change can sometimes be inconvenient. Starting today, our customers can pay delivery partners in cash, and ask for the balance amount to be added instantly to their Zomato Money account.
