Recently, a user took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and shared his experience slightly funny experience. The user, who is named Gaurav Singh, shared that he ordered food from Zomato. Now, whenever you order food online, it generally comes packed using customised tapes belonging to respective companies.
However, this was not the case in this situation. The user received it packed in tapes which belonged to Swiggy. The user found this to be unusual and quite funny because Zomato and Swiggy are actually competitors.
Company Responds And Tells Why This Must Have Happened
Hi Gaurav, this generally happens when restaurant partner runs out of packaging tapes available with them. If you have faced any inconvenience in your order then please feel free to initiate a private message. That said, we’re taking this up with restaurant partner. (1/2)

Zomato’s X account was quick to respond to the situation. According to their response, this usually happens when the restaurant partner runs out of packaging tape. They usually resort to packing it with whatever they have available at hand.
This time, it must have been the packaging tapes from Swiggy, and hence, the user received this weird unofficial “collaboration” between the two leading food delivery platforms in the country. The response also added that if there was anything wrong with his order, he was free to reach out.
They also said that regardless of the situation, they would make sure to reach out to the restaurant partner to ensure that this instance isn’t repeated.
