Yandex.Food Enters 79 New Cities

Retailers and chains can also connect to the service, Yandex. Food already delivers orders from the stores of the Vkusville and Alphabet of Taste chains in Moscow.

In all cities where Yandex.Food operates, orders can now also be made through the Yandex.Taxi, Yandex, and Yandex.Browser applications. This allows restaurants to significantly increase the audience that sees their offer, and increase orders.

Since June 10th, the service starts connecting restaurants in another 600 cities according to the marketplace model. In small towns, restaurants will be able to receive orders from users of popular Yandex applications and deliver them on their own. They developed a self-registration form for them, which will allow you to start working with the platform on the same day without the participation of service managers.

Yandex.Food has doubled its funding for the Local Restaurant Support Program and will allocate about 100 million rubles for it, so it’s not just increased access for larger chains and retailers.
