Zomato bids farewell to the Philippines

Restaurant aggregator and food-delivery company Zomato exits the Philippines, after years of operations in the country.

The announcement was posted on Zomato’s Philippine website, which you can see here. “Goodbye Metro Manila”, it said. “It has been a great run but we have, sadly, stopped our operations here.” Zomato, however, will continue its operations in India and the UAE.

About two years ago, the company has stopped its Zomato Pro membership program in the Philippines, a probable signal of its eventual departure. Members who paid an annual fee received special benefits such as discounts and dine-in deals in select restaurants.

Zomato lets diners search and discover restaurants, read and write customer-generated reviews and view and upload photos, order food delivery, book a table, and make payments while dining out at restaurants.
