New Rating system for Restaurant on Zomato

As a Product person, I’m scratching my head looking at this feature and the use case for it. “You can see how your food looks like” -We already have images -Its not like the portion size is accurate. One can zoom in and out -Not like this is how much food will look like after the delivery guy revvs his bikes I get that AR makes sense for things that will stick with you for very long. But food? Its gone in 60 seconds! Why on earth would I want to see how my food looks like on my table? Just curious, no hate.

Zomato dropped a new feature showing order counter for the day. For users it might be a number telling what is their order count based on time when they place the order. Although it Does not add much of user value, just a number. Useful for Deepinder maybe to track how Zomato is performing but not much on user side,after sometime users might not pay attention to this number But going down the line, if this metrics gets connected with some cashback value based on certain constraints like 1st 10k orders , certain orders count every day etc. Then this can be a pushing factor for more orders for Zomato by building competition around this order counter Some extra discounts for users also What do you think about this feature??

This is based on an analysis of 24 K reviews on iPhone & Android phones between Jan to Nov 2023 conducted by Clootrack. The results though look a lot skewed as Zomato outperforms Swiggy by 3-4X in every parameter, How do you look at these results, Do you agree with this analysis?

@swiggy PMs how are you able to segregate the dishes as 'Desk Friendly' in this feature? You could have either 1. Given an option to the restaurants to classify. However, this rather makes a false incentive to label for more visibility. 2. Give restaurants to classify a limited number of dishes. This still adds to false positives in the list. 3. Crowdsourcing. I haven't seen anything as such. But it sounds tedious. 4. Some form of ML segregation? But an AI feeds in the images sometimes or so I've heard- which leads to a nasty AI loop. Curious to know.

Food app consumers being so nonchalant is just disrespectful P.S. I am very sensitive about food
