ITC Hotels said on Friday that it has partnered with on demand delivery platform Swiggy to offer ITC's dining options to customers in the comfort of their home.
ITC Hotels said Swiggy will enable ‘no contact’ deliveries on all pre-paid orders, which involves a delivery partner leaving the food at the doorstep rather than an in-person exchange.
ITC Hotels said its curated menus will bring unique food experiences with local offerings from the region for diners across all major cities in India.
The chain said it has implemented stringent measures and protocols, including mandatory temperature checks for all chefs and food and beverage associates. ITC said its special take-out counter at each ITC Hotel has been equipped with hand sanitizers and thermometers to corroborate the health parameters of local food delivery partners.
