Zomato’s ‘No Cooking Sunday’ campaign turned into a ‘No Order Sunday’ when a massive technical outage impacted deliveries of several orders.

According to reports, Zomato had announced a mega offer of 50 per cent discount on delivery in several cities of the country. The food-finding-delivery service reportedly planned to hit the 1 million daily order mark with the offer.

Obviously, a sea of users thronged to use the food-delivery service. And then the problem began.

According to Economic Times, users complained of the inadequacies in the service in the afternoon. Zomato said that large demand on the platform caused the outage.

Mohit Gupta, chief executive, Food Delivery Business, Zomato, said that the company comfortably crossed the million order milestone on Sunday and could have ended up at closer to a 2.5 million mark had the outage not hit.

Many users took to Twitter to complain against Zomato. Here are some of the tweets.
