Getmefood – When Hunger strikes, Order Online!

 9 years ago    

Screen Shot 2014-06-18 at 12.04.47 pmThere are times when you are either tired or lazy when cooking is out of the question. It’s these days that you wish food to be delivered at your doorsteps. But, high delivery charges or high minimum value order stops you from ordering food. This is where Getmefood, a online food ordering portal, stands out.

Getmefood, based in Sainikpuri, Hyderabad offers free home delivery. All you have to do is to login, select your area, choose your favorite restaurant and order for desired items. Unlike other restaurants, there is no minimum order limit required.

Getmefood is a team of 35 employees – 28 delivery boys and 7 employees who handle customer calls. Currently it provides its services to almost 35 areas of Hyderabad. Founder of GetmeFood, Mithun Kalaga says “We have our own delivery team that is spread across the city. We are also planning to extend our services to Kukatpally, KPHB and Himayatnagar in the next few months.”

The idea of GetmeFood started through their own experience. Few years back, there were not many options for home delivery except for Dominos and McDonalds. Few restaurants that did deliver, had a minimum order value of Rs 300. The shortage of options, resulted in starting a food delivery portal where people dint have to worry about a minimum order value and had a list of restaurants to choose from.

In a short span of time and a very limited marketing budget, Getmefood has a large following of customers through social media and word-of-mouth.

“We faced a huge challenge initially to convince the restaurant owners about the idea of a third party delivering food from their outlets. Slowly but surely, our track record in these 22 months of operations has helped us plug that gap as Restaurants themselves have begun approaching us for enlisting themselves on our website,” says Mithun,a BITS Pilani graduate.

“We are also planning to increase our manpower for smooth operations especially on weekends when we are overloaded with high volume of orders.”

Currently, Getmefood is looking out for investors to expand their operations onto other cities like Vizag and Bangalore.

So next time whenever you want to order food, just call Getmefood at 040-40163456 !!
