Question 1

What is the best Zomato or Swiggy alternative for restaurants and cafes?

Accepted Answer

Awestruck is a Mumbai born alternative where listing is free and there is ₹0 commission on table bookings. Nearby guests are matched to your place directly, so you're found without paying per click. Live across Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Pune, Lonavala and Khandala.

Question 2

How do I list my cafe or restaurant online for free?

Accepted Answer

Send your name, area and a few photos to Awestruck on WhatsApp. We build your listing and you go live within 48 hours. No app, no tablet, no forms and no commission on table bookings.

Question 3

Why do food and delivery apps charge such high commission?

Accepted Answer

Most conventional apps run on pay to play visibility and per order commissions, so you pay to be seen and again on every order. Awestruck is built the opposite way: ₹0 to list, ₹0 commission on table bookings, and the top spot is earned by ratings, not money.

Question 4

Does Awestruck take commission on table bookings?

Accepted Answer

Table reservations are always ₹0. Awestruck only earns 10% (never more than ₹150) when a guest prepays a deal the venue chooses to offer, which also means far fewer no-shows. A table-only booking with no deal is free.

Question 5

Does Awestruck work for buffets and fine dining?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cafes, restaurants, buffets and fine dining venues all list free and are matched to nearby guests. Deals and reservations work the same way for every kind of place.

Question 6

Which cities and areas is Awestruck available in?

Accepted Answer

Every station across Mumbai, plus Thane, Navi Mumbai (Vashi to Panvel), Pune and PCMC, and Lonavala and Khandala. New areas are opening across India.

Question 7

Do I need an app, tablet or training to join?

Accepted Answer

No. You only need WhatsApp on your phone. Bookings arrive on WhatsApp, SMS and email, and your staff simply welcomes the guest.

Question 8

Can I stop listing whenever I want?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Send one message and we remove your listing. No notice period and no penalty.
