There are many people who are hesitant to cook at home or eat out. They rely on Swiggy and Zomato. However, they have to pay a substantial amount as platform fee and delivery fee. A trick that a woman used to escape from this is now being discussed on social media.

The woman shared the trick, saying that her strategy will save you from high platform charges. Instead of ordering food through Swiggy or Zomato, the woman calls the restaurants of her choice directly. Then, she books a pickup through services like Uber or Rapido to bring the order home.

The delivery charges for Uber or Rapido are between Rs 50 and Rs 100. The woman says that her method is cheaper than Swiggy or Zomato app commissions, platform fees and GST. She says that she can save that money.

The woman's post has been viewed by lakhs of people. Most of them have commented in support of her opinion. One user commented, 'What she said is literally true. Zomato and Swiggy cost 40 to 50 percent more in comparison. It would be better to use something like Rapido.' - one commented.

Another idea shared by some is to skip delivery apps altogether and order directly from restaurants. 'Some restaurants still deliver. They deliver food at a relatively low cost,' - one wrote.
