Late night is the fastest growing daypart, but most menus run dinner recommendations all day. Here is how daypart aware pairings lift average order value.

Food pairing recommendations on a digital menu lift average order value by 15 to 30 percent. Here is the attach rate playbook for restaurant operators.
The CCI cleared Zomato's platform fee in July 2026. Meanwhile the price parity clause, the one that stopped restaurants pricing lower on their own channel, was quietly removed. Here is what changed and what it means.
