NEW DELHI: Amid an escalating face-off between restaurants and aggregators, online food ordering platform Zomato on Thursday took a dig a restaurant association head Rahul Singh saying he was offering discounts at his own The Beer Cafe chain of outlets, proving that he was not against such policies.
Singh, who heads the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI), hit back, saying “brokers cannot enjoy the same right as owners!”
In a series of tweets, Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal said: “I welcome the NRAI president, Rahul Singh embracing the Gold standard at his own restaurants. Welcome to Gold, Rahul! @NRAI_India”.
Singh is the chief protagonist behind the #logout campaign against aggregators providing “deep discounts” on their platforms and hurting the restaurant industry. The Beer Cafe’s app was also offering a ‘Gold’ scheme.
“This proves that Rahul Singh, is not really against deep discounts, as these discounts are being offered on his own brand, on his own app,” Goyal tweeted, attaching a statement. “This logout campaign as it seems now is driven by Rahul Singh, along with the participation of a few large restaurant owners, to use the NRAI platform to sabotage aggregators and benefit themselves.” (AGENCIES)
