ONDC is an open-source network developed by the government of India.
ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce) lets restaurants sell food directly to consumers.
Moreover, it also delivers groceries, home décor, cleaning essentials, etc. Much like Swiggy’s Instamart, Zepto, and Blinkit.
As per reports, it has recently surpassed the 10,000 daily order mark and is being more widely used by people.
If you compare the prices of restaurants in ONDC vs Zomato or Swiggy, you can save lots of money.
You can use ONDC via the Paytm app. Simply head over to Paytm and type 'ONDC' in the search bar. You will then see a variety of options ranging from groceries and cleaning essentials to the food store. If you are trying to order food from a restaurant, head over to ONDC Food and order it from there.
For instance, an order that costs Rs 209 on Swiggy and 212 on Zomato costs only Rs 147 on the platform.
In another instance, the price of 4 burgers and 4 large fries from popular restaurant chain McDonalds also had a massive difference. The total bill amount in Zomato and Swiggy was Rs 702 and Rs 768 respectively, while in ONDC, the bill amount was Rs 639.
However, since the platform is new, it is not live in all cities as of now and not all restaurants are available on it. But soon it will be available everywhere.
