Zepto Cafe, the rapid food delivery arm of quick commerce company Zepto, has achieved a major milestone, surpassing 100,000 daily orders. The announcement was made by the company’s co-founder and CEO, Aadit Palicha, highlighting the platform’s rapid growth in the quick-service food industry. This achievement comes just weeks after Zepto Cafe crossed the 75,000 daily orders threshold, demonstrating the increasing demand for its 10-minute food delivery service. In a LinkedIn post, Palicha also revealed that Zepto Cafe is on track to reach an annualised gross merchandise value (GMV) of $100 million, with a steady-state gross margin nearing 50 per cent.
“Zepto Cafe has now hit 100,000 orders per day. Zepto Cafe has hit 100,000 orders per day. That’s closing in on a $100M Annualized GMV run rate with a 50% steady-state gross margin. Miles to go before we sleep, but I believe this is the beginning of a revolution in India’s QSR industry,” Palicha wrote.
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.
