ZOMATO DELIVERY PARTNERS’ FLEXIBLE WORK TIMINGS 

In Zomato’s third-quarter results shareholder letter, Deepinder also highlighted how the food delivery giant has created flexible income opportunities for its delivery partners. The partners are, therefore, not mandated to work every single day.

Stating how they're allowed to log in during any part of the day or week, he wrote,...most of them prefer to work with us part-time to generate a secondary source of income for themselves. Many delivery partners work with Zomato seasonally, while others work specific parts of the day.”

Additionally, Deepinder Goyal mentioned that the company's data shows that there has been a steady decline in the average number of days logged in per year. There's a consistent decrease in the average number of hours worked per day as well.

According to Zomato, the average daily login hours per delivery partner and working days had seen a shift:

  • In 2021, the average daily login hours per partner was 7.6 hours. There was an average of 51 login days per year per partner. 
  • In 2022, the average daily login hours per partner was 7.3 hours. There was an average of 58 login days per year per partner. 
  • For 2023, it was 7.1 hours and 51 days. 
  • For 2024, it was 7 hours and 46 days. 

Over the last three years, the above data shows a 5-day decline in the average login days per year per delivery partner. As far as working hours are concerned, there's a reduction of less than an hour.
