Client Overview

The client is a Bengaluru-headquartered cloud kitchen operator running 60+ virtual restaurant brands from 14 kitchen facilities across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, and Pune. With Zomato and Swiggy collectively controlling Indian food delivery, real-time menu and pricing intelligence was the operational foundation.

India's cloud kitchen sector has matured into a sophisticated, data-driven industry — virtual brands launch and pivot rapidly based on demand signals and competitive dynamics.

Business Challenges

60-Brand Portfolio Coordination

Coordinating menu pricing across 60 virtual brands on two platforms in 6 cities was operationally impossible manually.

Discount-Driven Indian Market

Indian food delivery is heavily discount-driven; tracking Zomato Gold, Swiggy One, and platform-funded discounts was essential.

Competitor Cloud Kitchen Tracking

Hundreds of competing virtual brands launched continuously; identifying threats required systematic monitoring.

City-Specific Menu Pricing

Same virtual brand priced differently across Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi — reflecting local competitive dynamics.

Project Objectives

The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:

• Track 60 client virtual brands across Zomato + Swiggy in 6 cities
• Monitor 800+ competitor cloud kitchen brands per city
• Capture discount structures (Zomato Gold, Swiggy One, platform discounts)
• Detect new competitor virtual brand launches
• Enable city-level menu pricing optimisation
