INTRODUCTION
In this research I have surveyed in Varanasi the performance and customer Preferences of
two famous food ordering system like of Zomato & swiggy, which are used by people of
all ages. During this research I have interacted with people of different ages at
“Varanasi”. After this research I came to know how people perceive these two famous
brand on the variables like price, quality, advertisement, satisfaction, taste, packaging,
brand loyalty etc. I also came to know which particular brand is most preferred by people
of different age groups. In this research an attempt has been made also to identify the
consumption habits of food in terms of the pack size etc i.e. whether they buy small, big
or family pack. Trend of ongoing changes in their likings has been shown in the report. In
this report I have tried to explain the research process.

OBJECTIVES OF THE
STUDY

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
This project is based on the comparative study Customer Preferences between Zomato &
swiggy Brands. Objectives of the study are:

COMPANY PROFILE

ZOMATO

Starting with information for over 1 million restaurants (and counting)
globally, we're making dining smoother and more enjoyable with services
like online ordering and table reservations.
One team
We are over 2000 passionate Zomans strong across 24 countries, and we're
growing by the day. At last count, our team represents 32 nationalities, and
speaks twice as many languages. We're split 50:50 on tea drinkers vs. coffee
drinkers. The tea drinkers are the nicer ones.
We're always looking for great folks to join us on our mission. If you want
to be a part of our story, we'd love to chat. Explore our careers section to see
if there's a role that excites you. If there isn't one and we like each other,
we'll create one for you.
10
Guidelines and Policies
If there's one thing we truly love, it's sharing in all the great foodie moments you have.
Bouquets when the food exceeds your expectations, brickbats when the service is
shocking, chronicles of your food excursions – they all count.
While we welcome your opinions and descriptions of your dining experiences, there are a
few things we expect from every user on Zomato. Your reviews and photos, as well as
your profile and the comments you share, are all subject to Content Guidelines, our
Foodie Code of Conduct.
If your activity on Zomato doesn't match up to these content guidelines, we reserve the
right to take action as we deem necessary. This could include altering or deleting your
reviews or comments, or deleting your Zomato account altogether, with or without
notice. Zomato also utilizes an algorithm to aid in removing suspicious reviews. If you
feel your review was deleted in error, email us at [email protected].
If you see content that does not align with these guidelines or our Terms of Service,
please let us know. We will consider all reports. However, due to the diversity of our
community, it is possible that content disagreeable to you might not meet the criteria to
be removed.
Keep out the clutter: To make sure we collectively work towards building the
highest-quality content that's useful to everyone, reviews need to be a minimum of
140 characters long for dine-in reviews.. That's just about the length of a tweet, so
it's convenient even for all you micro-bloggers. If you cover the food, service and
ambiance, you shouldn't fall short on characters. We do not have 140 characters
limit for an online order review. However, if any review is filled with junk, we
might have to remove the review altogether.
11
policies and practices of a restaurant may be deleted without notice. If your review
has been removed or moderated by us and if you repost another experience for the
same restaurant, we reserve the right to remove that review too, even though such
review might be in line with our content guidelines.
Keep it fresh: Only one review per restaurant for a dine out experience and one
review for each online order transaction can be submitted and your most recent
experience at a place counts. That's what is going to help people when they're trying
to decide whether or not to eat there. You're free to edit and update your review
based on subsequent visits at any time. Reviews about old experiences (more than 6
months old) will also be deleted from our platform.
Keep it real: Write your review based on facts and your own experiences (e.g. not a
friend's or any hearsay experience or based on media reports). Please don't
exaggerate or falsify your experience. We do not take sides in cases of dispute, so
make sure you can stand by your word. Content that indicates the reviewer hasn't
even visited or availed any services from the restaurant will be removed. For
example, "Never been here, never want to. Management is horrible and the food is
worse!" Deceptive, fake, or misleading reviews will be removed. Reviewing a
bunch of fast-food outlets in quick succession (even if you eat at them more often
than you should) is considered suspicious activity, and it's likely these reviews will
be moderated. Accepting or soliciting a kickback – monetary or otherwise – in
exchange for reviews or photographs is also not acceptable, and could result in
removal of your profile.
12
accepting money, free meals, drinks) in exchange for promotion, or at the threat of
negative reviews on Zomato, will not be tolerated. If reports or evidence of such
instances are brought to our attention, we reserve the right to delete your Zomato
profile or take any other action that we may deem fit, no questions asked. Acts that
constitute as 'Solicitation' include:
Tell the whole story: If you luck into a free meal or dine as a guest of the
restaurant, or have a relevant association with a restaurant or its owners, give full
disclosure in your review. We're sure that honesty is the best policy, and other users
will respect you even more for it. If you have made it to the major league as a food
writer or critic, let us know and we can provide special access for your blog link to
appear with your reviews. We love summaries, but incomplete reviews with a
manually added link will be removed.
13
Don’t be a bully: We take allegations of blackmail or threatening behavior against
restaurants and its associates very seriously. This activity is strictly against our
guidelines and may also be illegal in many locations. Reviews submitted in an
attempt to blackmail a restaurant and its associates will be deleted.
Play by the rules: The content you add should be in compliance with Zomato's
Terms and Conditions, including terms and conditions of any of Zomato products
such as Zomato Gold, Online Ordering, or Zomato Treats, as well as the prevailing
local laws and regulations. Local laws take precedence, and content may be
moderated or deleted to adhere to these.
Seek help from the right people: Zomato is a website and mobile application with
no claims to be a court of law or a ministry of health (we aren't serious enough to do
those jobs). If you have a dispute with a restaurant, or if you feel a restaurant does
not measure up to health codes, we encourage you to contact the appropriate
authorities directly. Zomato is not the appropriate platform for reporting illegal
activities, physical confrontations, health code violations, or anything under
investigation by local governing bodies or law-enforcement personnel. We
encourage that such accusations be reported to the concerned authorities rather than
being mentioned in reviews.
Photo guidelines
There's no easier way to show how deliciously chocolate-y that chocolate mud cake was
than with a picture, right? That said, it's important to keep in mind our photo guidelines,
and understand why some photos may be moved or removed once they've been added.
Food shots that are clear, in focus, and delicious enough to make the viewer wish Zomato
included smell-o-vision will be featured in restaurants' photo galleries. Ambiance shots
that highlight the overall feel or vibe of a place will also be highlighted on restaurant
pages.
Photos that don't make the cut to appear on a restaurant's page, will show with your
review or on your profile depending on how useful it is to other users and how relevant it
14
is to the review. Photos with hair and bugs will be shown only with a review for
validation and context.
Violation of the below mentioned pointers may lead to deduction of foodie points,
reduced visibility or deletion of your pictures
Photos that are exact duplicates of other photos, multiple clicks of the same dish or
ambiance or taken from a different angles
Plagiarized photos
Keep your listing updated: While our team makes every effort to keep information
on Zomato up-to-date, we appreciate you letting us know when an update is
required. If your timings change and your listing is not updated, customers arriving
late won't be too happy with you (or Zomato).
Don't solicit reviews: The best way to get reviews is to delight customers with your
food and service. Selective solicitation is a strict NO, and offering any type of
15
compensation or kick-back for reviews is unfair, so you definitely want to keep
away from that, too.
Be accountable: Zomato will not moderate any questionable activities about your
restaurant posted in reviews. (e.g. serving shisha where it is not permitted, serving
alcohol to minors, or staying open later than permitted). Zomato may also not
moderate or delete any reviews where any third party service provider is involved.
Such a review may be retained if it falls within our guidelines. This business
16
requires thick skin – stating the perceived attitude of owners or employees and
reporting of individual actions are not considered personal attacks.
Don't entertain: Fulfilling the demands of customers who ask for benefits at the
threat of bad reviews or ratings, sends a message that this behavior is tolerated.
Similarly, inviting users who have reviewed and given a low rating back to the
restaurant for a complimentary meal, invites false negative reviews. These issues
affect the entire community and require everyone's participation to curb their
prevalence. Please report users who engage in such activities to [email protected].
It's also important to note that we (Zomato) have no employees or affiliates who are paid
to review. If any guest identifies themselves as an official blogger, review employee, or
associate of Zomato, it's not true. Employees of Zomato are contractually and ethically
forbidden from using their status to solicit free meals or receive special treatment. If you
observe any such practice, report it to [email protected]. Appropriate action will be
taken against the user or employee if evidence can be provided.
Zomato employees are prohibited from using their employee status to solicit discounts,
freebies, or special treatment at restaurants. Unless visiting a restaurant for official
business, Zomato employees are to refrain from identifying themselves as employees of
Zomato.
17
All Zomato employees in client facing roles including but not limited to Sales, Sales
Support, Neutrality, Media Content and Client Servicing across all transaction/
business/function at Zomato are prohibited from writing reviews and/or giving ratings for
dine out experiences on Zomato from either their personal or Zomato accounts. They are
also not permitted to influence others to write biased reviews or give ratings.
Zomato's review and photo moderators are required to always act in favor of keeping
Zomato a neutral platform. They are required to use their best judgement in implementing
moderation guidelines and are prohibited from giving preferential treatment to
restaurants. Deleting any authentic review from a restaurant page is in violation of our
policies. Similarly, keeping reviews, which are proven to be unauthentic, is in violation
of our policies.
Please email [email protected] if you witness any behavior not in compliance with this
code as it is in direct violation of employee contracts.

SWIGGY
It all started back in 2014 when two BITS Pilani graduates, Sriharsha Majety and Nandan
Reddy decided they wanted to make life easier by changing the way India eats - all with
just a tap! With their idea of ’hyperlocal food delivery’, all they needed was the tech to
power it and were introduced to Rahul Jaimini, who brought this vision to life with the
first website. And with this, Swiggy was launched as a food ordering & delivery
platform.
With love and support from consumers, Swiggy expanded far and wide, first through the
entire city of Bengaluru and then across the entire country. As they say, the rest is
history.
19
Today, Swiggy is the leading food ordering and delivery platform in India. The
innovative technology, large and nimble delivery service, and exceptional consumer
focus at Swiggy enabled a host of benefits that includes lightning fast deliveries, live
order tracking and no restrictions on order amount, all while having the pleasure of
enjoying your favourite meal wherever you'd like it.
20
Culture at Swiggy
The Spirit
A comfortable working atmosphere that follows a flat and open culture along with a
great office space was why we were voted as one of India's top firms to work in
2017 by LinkedIn! We know you work best when you are happy.
The Environment
When your goal is to change the way the country eats, you need all the help you can
get. Swiggy is an equal-opportunity employer offering competitive salaries,
comprehensive health benefits and equity opportunities.
The business of food delivery is undergoing rapid change every day as we are capturing
markets and customers across the country. So as we grow along with the times, we are
always looking for great people to join us on this exciting journey.

REVIEW OF LITRATURE

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
CUSTOMER PREFERENCES
All marketing starts with the consumer. So consumer is a very important person to a
marketer. Consumer decides what to purchase, for whom to purchase, why to purchase,
from where to purchase, and how much to purchase. In order to become a successful
marketer, he must know the liking or disliking of the customers. He must also know the
time and the quantity of goods and services, a consumer may purchase, so that he may
store the goods or provide the services according to the likings of the consumers. Gone
are the days when the concept of market was let the buyer’s beware or when the market
was mainly the seller’s market. Now the whole concept of consumer’s sovereignty
prevails. The manufacturers produce and the sellers sell whatever the consumer likes. In
this sense, “Consumer is the supreme in the market”.
As consumers, we play a very vital role in the health of the economy local, national or
international. The decision we make concerning our consumption behavior affect the
demand for the basic raw materials, for the transportation, for the banking, for the
production; they effect the employment of workers and deployment of resources and
success of some industries and failures of others. Thus marketer must understand this.
Preference (or "taste") is a concept, used in the social sciences, particularly economics. It
assumes a real or imagined "choice" between alternatives and the possibility of rank
ordering of these alternatives, based on happiness, satisfaction, gratification, enjoyment,
utility they provide. More generally, it can be seen as a source of motivation. In cognitive
sciences, individual preferences enable choice of objectives/goals.
The study of the consumer preference not only focuses on how and why consumers make
buying decision, but also focuses on how and why consumers make choice of the goods
24
they buy and their evaluation of these goods after use. So for success of any company or
product promotion it is very necessary to depart its concentration towards consumer
preference.

present comprehensive analysis of Preferences of Choosing the two most big brand of
India Zomato vs Swiggy by the people. The data had been used to cover various aspects
like consumption, consumer’s preference and customer’s satisfaction regarding Zomato
& swiggy in collecting requisite data and information regarding the topic selected, I went
to the residents of Varanasi and collected the data.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY
As learning is a human activity and is as natural, as breathing. Despite of the fact that
learning is all pervasive in our lives, psychologists do not agree on how learning takes
place. How individuals learn is a matter of interest to marketers. They want to teach
consumers in their roles as their roles as consumers. They want consumers to learn about
their products, product attributes, potential consumers benefit, how to use, maintain or
even dispose of the product and new ways of behaving that will satisfy not only the
consumer’s needs, but the marketer’s objectives.
The scope of my study restricts itself to the analysis of consumer preferences, perception
and consumption of Zomato & swiggy There are many other brands of available but my
study is limited to two major players leaving behind the others. The scope of my study is
also restricts itself to Varanasi region only.

LIMITATIONS OF THE
STUDY
42
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
In attempt to make this project authentic and reliable, every possible aspect of the topic
was kept in mind. Nevertheless, despite of fact constraints were at job during the
formulation of this project. The main limitations are as follows:
Due to limitation of time only few people were selected for the study. So the
sample of consumers was not enough to generalize the findings of the study.
The main source of data for the study was primary data with the help of self-
administered questionnaires. Hence, the chances of unbiased information are less.
People were hesitant to disclose the true facts.
The chance of biased response can’t be eliminated though all necessary steps were
taken to avoid the same.
43
CONCLUSION
44
CONCLUSION
A survey of the people has been conducted to know the liking pattern of the two Food
ordering Brands Zomato & Swiggy. It is observed that overall people like to Order with
Zomato rather than Swiggy. It is concluded that mostly people preferred Zomato of,
quality and image and due to its hard form.
It is thus concluded from the facts collected that mostly people refer to buy big pack of
their Foods, and sometimes some of them go for small and family pack.
