Deepinder Goyal-led Zomato on Thursday introduced a restaurant services hub to help upcoming quick service restaurants (QSRs) to scale up. 

The platform is open to all restaurants pan-India irrespective of their arrangement with Zomato. So far, it has already serviced more than 3,200 restaurants, helping them sort their staffing, GST registrations, FSSAI registrations and trademark needs. 

The platform currently offers staffing solutions with an option to outsource the entire hiring process, and even offers a guarantee period for new employees. The platform also offers help with licensing essentials, including FSSAI registration or renewal, GST registration and trademark registration. 

Zomato also plans to launch additional services like point of sale (POS) integrations and hygiene audits. The current platform allows users to compare vendors, track services, and avail discounted prices. 

The hub is accessible to Zomato restaurant partners through their Restaurant Partner App or Dining App. 

Commenting on the launch, Rakesh Ranjan, CEO, Food Delivery, Zomato said, “The Restaurant Services Hub platform is only a step towards our vision of creating a full-stack solution for any restaurant owner looking to set up shop or scale their existing business.”
