Dineout’s Project Thali Set To Feed 5 Lakh Migrant Workers Daily Amidst COVID-19 Lockdown Extension

• Feeding over 1.5L Indians daily within 3 weeks of launch


• Leverages Kitchens and Chefs of 20,000 restaurant partners to help sustain vulnerable communities


• Distributes 1 Lakh KG of rations and cooked food across 20 cities in a short span of time

With the Coronavirus pandemic and its consequent 6 weeks long unprecedented government-imposed lockdown wreaking havoc in poor & marginalised communities, India’s largest dining out and restaurant tech platform, Dineout is rapidly scaling its recently launched community-driven initiative, ‘Project Thali’ across 20 Indian cities to actively serve the most number of poor and vulnerable communities who may not be able to claim daily ration get access to food & nourishment. The brand has been using the donations collected from the drive to cook meals using the sanitised kitchens & expert chefs of its partner restaurants to feed the hungry.

Hosted in partnership with non-profit World Help Group, this initiative invited people to donate rations, cooked food, volunteer or donate by means of guaranteeing food security for a vulnerable family for 15 days for Rs 1400 only. Over 1,00,000 KG of rations and food has been distributed to thousands of individuals in less than three weeks, the brand has been leveraging the cooking infrastructure of its 20,000 strong partner restaurant community including Delhi Zaika, Keiba and Madras Diaries in Mumbai and Chaayos and Biryani By Kilo in Delhi NCR among others to feed more than 1.5 lakh people from malnourished communities on a daily basis.

Ankit Mehrotra, Co-Founder & CEO - Dineout said, “The extended COVID-19 lockdown will see hundreds of millions of Indians stressed and in need of crucial resources. In such times of dire crisis, food is one of the biggest concerns in developing economies like ours. In light of the current situation, we are exponentially scaling ‘Project Thali’ to cover as many poor and marginalised communities in the shortest span of time. Our extended team of 1500+ volunteers have been toiling to help make a difference in the lives of these sections of our society, and our collaboration with leading restaurants in the country has given us the opportunity to work in synergy to have a larger impact on those struggling to make ends meet during this extended lockdown. Our vision is to make sure no one goes to sleep hungry, and we will do everything it takes to help feed the needy in every corner of India."

Neeti Goel, Owner at Keiba, said, “I had read an article about kids eating grass due to the lack of food and the sight of it made me feel miserable. That is when I realised that this pandemic has posed several challenges to us, especially underprivileged and the needy. They are fighting not just against the virus but also against hunger and starvation at the same time. Everyone’s role is crucial and therefore we have to make it count. I’m grateful to everyone who has come forward and collaborated or donated for the efforts to feed the needy in this time of crisis".

Md. Samsuddin, Rickshaw-puller, Mumbai - "We are stuck in Khar, Mumbai. There are no passengers on the street, I have zero savings. I cannot return to my village because trains are not working. It is a very tough life. I only rely on these food packets, otherwise I would starve to death."

Besides ‘Project Thali’ to eliminate hunger among the needy, Dineout has initiated an online petition to support NRAI on change.org, requesting the Finance Ministry and Government of India to help restaurants with employee unemployment pay cover, moratorium on upcoming statutory dues, delay in utility bill payments, holiday/temporary stoppage on EMI payments & interest, freezing rental dues & restoration of Input Tax Credit on GST for all restaurants. The petition has received widespread acknowledgement and has been signed by more than 35,000 people and endorsed by some of the country’s biggest restaurateurs & F&B entrepreneurs.

Dineout Introduces Vouchers to Provide Financial Support to Restaurants During COVID-19

The F&B industry and local restaurant businesses have been severely impacted amidst the nation wide shutdown to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. With an annual turnover of Rs 4 Lakh crore, the industry could potentially hit total bankruptcy as it fights a long and hard battle against basic survival. India's food services industry currently employs around 7.3 million people. If lockdowns continue, 20% to 25% of the employee-base could lose their jobs.

The subsequent financial crisis triggered by the lockdown has made it extremely tough for Yogerestaurants to pay for expenses, rent, salaries & more. To help them navigate through this turmoil, India’s largest dining out and restaurant tech platform, Dineout has introduced “Restaurant Vouchers” that customers can purchase now and redeem later when the pandemic subsides. Dineout has also started an online petition requesting the government to support the restaurant industry via employee unemployment pay cover amongst other restaurant needs as requested by NRAI.

Restaurant vouchers can be purchased via Dineout on supportrestaurants.in available in Rs. 1000 denominations which can be redeemed in the next 6 months. Dineout will transfer the funds to the restaurants at no additional charges to ensure that restaurants continue to receive the crucial cash-flow to survive these trying times, and food-lovers get discounted coupons from their favorite eateries in town.

Customers can now buy these vouchers at a discounted price now at 20,000+ partner restaurants like Plum by Bent Chair, Whiskey Samba, Lord Of the Drinks, The Wine Company, Sly Granny, Mamagoto, Kobe sizzlers, Chopstick, Gilly's Resto-Bar, & more.

Beyond financial support from customers, Dineout has also started an online petition to support NRAI on change.org (https://www.change.org/ReliefForRestaurants), requesting the Finance Ministry and Government of India to help restaurants with employee unemployment pay cover, moratorium on upcoming statutory dues, delay in utility bill payments, holiday/temporary stoppage on EMI payments & interest, freezing rental dues & restoration of Input Tax Credit on GST for all restaurants.

Speaking on this industry first initiative, Ankit Mehrotra, Co-Founder & CEO - Dineout said, “Being a restaurant tech solution, we at Dineout have always believed in a restaurant first approach to help our partners with solutions in times of need. While we are encouraging our diners to stay home despite financial implications on us, local restaurant businesses need our support more than ever as they face severe losses. They closed their operations for our safety, it's time for us as a community to support them now so they can continue to serve us tomorrow. Restaurant Vouchers are a great way to keep the momentum of cash flow steady for restaurants without any additional charges from us. We urge food-lovers across the nation to do their bit for the restaurants they love and also sign the petition for the government to hear our voice.”

Restaurant Vouchers can be purchased on the Dineout app or on web here - www.supportrestaurants.in
