Significant Competitors:Competition #1: Traditional phone based ordering - most of us are still used to ordering food at the last minute and getting frustating with busy tones on the phone or even wrong food delivered, even when its so much easier to order online.
Competition #2: Other portals like hungry bangalore and others new ones coming up offer similar services although we believe our customer service, user interface,features and ordering experiance is vastly and uniquely different and superior making customers come to us.
Competition #3 : Restaurant/city directory portals and review sites are not a direct competitor even though we carry listings/addresses phone numbers reviews and menu, as our focus in on fulfilment and food ordering.
