Zomato shares a ride with Ola

"This partnership with Zomato brings increased convenience, seamless mobility and dining or ordering experience to the customers of both the platforms," Ola Director Alliances Saurabh Mishra said. He added that with this partnership, users of app can not only book Ola rides but also pay for orders through Ola Money at various Zomato partner restaurants. Zomato partner restaurants will also set up special zones, where customers can book an Ola, he said. Besides, Ola Play customers will be able to view restaurant/food options, read reviews, order food as well as make table reservations through a Zomato micro-app on Ola Play.
