Zomato's restaurant base shrinks due to LPG shortage

Zomato's restaurant base shrinks due to LPG shortage

Zomato, a food delivery platform, saw a decrease in the number of restaurants it works with for the first time ever.

This happened because there was a shortage of cooking gas (LPG) in India.

The shortage started in March and lasted until late June.

During this time, restaurants had to limit their operations, cut menus, or even shut down.

Small restaurants were hit the hardest because they have less money to buy gas.

Zomato, however, still saw growth in the number of customers using its service.

The shortage also caused the price of gas to go up, making it more expensive for restaurants to operate.

This situation shows how important it is for restaurants to have a steady supply of cooking gas to keep their businesses running.
