Zomato Launches Developer Platform For PoS Partners

SUMMARY

The new developer platform will offer real-time API testing, enabling PoS partners to roll out new features for restaurants in significantly shorter development cycles

The platform will offer an integration guide and all related API technical documentation in one place to enable developers to build products at scale

This comes weeks after Zomato launched a new food expense management platform for businesses and order scheduling feature on its B2C app

Continuing its experiments and new launches, listed foodtech major Zomato has unveiled a developer platform for its point of sale (PoS) partners.

The new developer platform will offer real-time API testing and an entire tool-kit for PoS developers. As per the company, the new platform will enable its PoS partners to roll out new features for restaurants at scale and in significantly shorter development cycles. 

In a statement, the foodtech major said that PoS partners will be able to test application programming interfaces (APIs) and webhooks in real time, enabling the developers to speed up the troubleshooting process.

Additionally, the new PoS developer platform will offer an integration guide and related API technical documentation in one place to enable developers to build products at scale. 

“As a first step to achieve this goal, Zomato has launched a developer platform for PoS partners, to ensure quick, reliable integrations that enhance restaurant operations. This platform will offer easy-to-read documentation, real-time API testing, and an entire tool-kit for PoS developers….,” said the foodtech major in a blog post. 

For the uninitiated, PoS systems enable restaurants to streamline order processing and operations management by offering features such as inventory management, handling staff payroll and real-time analytics. 

Simply put, the new platform will enable PoS companies to showcase their systems while restaurants will have a choice to select a PoS system of their choice on Zomato’s “Restaurant Services Hub”.

This is the latest offering to come out of Zomato’s stable in recent months. Last month, the company unveiled a new platform to help companies solve food expense management. Prior to that, it also launched a ticket reselling feature for customers who have bought tickets to a live event on the Zomato app. 

It also rolled out a group order feature on its app last month, followed by another offering which allows users to schedule food orders up to two days in advance. Last week, Zomato also launched ‘dark mode’ on its app.

This comes at a time when shares of Zomato have been on an upswing on the back of profitable financial results and surging revenues.

The foodtech major’s net profit surged to INR 253 Cr in the June quarter (Q1) of the financial year 2024-25 (FY25) from INR 2 Cr in Q1 FY24. Revenue from operations soared 74% to INR 4,206 Cr in Q1 FY25 from INR 2,416 Cr in the corresponding quarter last year. 

Shares of Zomato ended 1.67% higher at INR 267.60 on the BSE on Tuesday (September 10).
