We all moved on from the fascination of junk food very quickly. But the concept of 10-minute food delivery was our shiny new toy for a bit there. Would you prefer getting your food delivered to you in 10 minutes, or are you also super suspicious of it all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The corporate schedule and the daily pile of tasks have us all in a chokehold. If you\u2019ve been working for some time, you\u2019ve definitely figured out that eating the right meals at the right time is the trick. Often we forget about eating or bringing in a lunchbox. There\u2019s also the constant supply of coffee that\u2019s less of a refreshment and more of an IV drip. This is where food delivery apps come in. It\u2019s like all of human evolution has come to make this dream come true\u2014food available at all times, wherever you need it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most restaurants accept delivery partners from various food apps to increase the number of orders they give out every day. Since the food is essentially the same on all platforms, the primary food delivery apps started competing on the average delivery time. These started with promising a false waiting time to indicate \u201csuper quick\u201d deliveries, which then turned into the 10 mins delivery we know today.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And yes, getting food fast is perfect; it\u2019s better than perfect. But it\u2019s simply too good to be true.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In case you\u2019re too stressed and busy to find out how it all works, let us break it down for you. The restaurants that do agree to help with 10 min delivery have to keep the food ready (dishes with the most traction) in advance so they can pack it up quickly and hand it over to the delivery agent. Who then go fast and furious on our roads to make it within that timeslot. Ask yourself, have you ever made biryani in 10 mins? Exactly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plight of the delivery agents has been known for years. As they manage their salary concerns, must we really normalise the turbo behaviour we expect of them? Is it worth it? Can\u2019t we wait a few minutes for safe delivery and fresh food? Are we really that hungry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why HOGR doesn\u2019t intend to step into the 10 mins delivery bandwagon. We\u2019ll deliver your food, and it\u2019ll reach you in time, but since teleportation isn\u2019t a reality yet, it\u2019ll reach you safely. This is how we approach the restaurants as well: we deliver it but without this man-made rush for it. The restaurants get the time to ensure that your order is prepared right, packed right, and handed over to the delivery agent. The delivery agent then arrives with your food at your doorstep without panting or risking their life for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Food is and will always be about food, not speed. HOGR\u2019s keeping it that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you look through people\u2019s experiences with the 10 mins food delivery, you\u2019ll find tales of reheated food dishes and the occasional worm sighting. There\u2019s a lot at risk when we speed overrides quality. We\u2019re taking too many steps in the other direction when it comes to food, be it groceries or simple food delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
HOGR fundamentally serves as a space for food enthusiasts. It\u2019s where the love of food brings people together to talk about the most integral part of our life\u2014food. Be it cravings, restaurant ratings, or fusion foods, HOGR\u2019s got room for it all. Foodies and their cravings make the app the colourful space that it is. People discover new dishes and hidden gems in town by following other foodies. It takes the evergreen question of \u201cWhere do I eat today?\u201d and answers it at length. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we speed things up in every aspect of our life, like work, art, responses, calls, goals, and strategies, it\u2019s important we slow things down around food. It\u2019s the little things in life that bring us joy, and if we\u2019re chewing food down with the passion of an F1 driver, we\u2019re missing the whole point of it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
