Zomato In-App Chat
The famous restaurant discovery and food ordering app, Zomato, has introduced an in-app chat feature. This will allow customers to chat with Zomato team for any order-related queries. The feature comes as an update to the existing app and is aimed to enhance the online ordering experience of the users. The new assistance feature is currently enabled for users in India and UAE. The chat feature has been integrated through a partnership with Konotor, a mobile-first user engagement platform.
How to use this feature?
With this in-app chat feature, customers can directly interact with the Zomato team for any queries.
With online ordering becoming the norm among Indians, this useful feature will ease the ordering process. This is a helpful feature owing to high call-drop rates and patchy coverage in several regions of India.
