Beat Zomato's price hikes with these smart monitoring hacks
What's the story
Keeping track of menu price changes on Zomato can be challenging, especially without a native "price alerts" feature. However, with some clever utilization of Zomato's features and a few external tools, you can stay on top of price changes. This tutorial outlines how to monitor price increases on Android, combining several techniques to create an effective workaround.
Regular checks
Stay updated with manual checks
The most reliable way to keep track of menu prices is simply to open the Zomato app and check the prices yourself regularly. Yes, it's a bit more work, but it guarantees you'll always know the latest prices at your favorite restaurants. Try to do this at least once a week or every other week, depending on how often you order or eat out.
Notifications
Leverage notifications for alerts
Zomato's notification system can be a handy way to catch special offers and discounts that might hint at a price change. To take advantage of this feature, head to the app settings on your Android device, turn on notifications, and then tailor them to your liking. Choosing notifications about promotions or new menu items will ensure you spot any potential price changes early.
External tracking
Utilize external tools for tracking
Since Zomato doesn't have a built-in price alert function, you need to get creative with external tools! Jotting down prices in note-taking apps or spreadsheets lets you manually monitor changes for comparison. And, third-party price tracking apps, while not directly linked to Zomato, provide a handy workaround for keeping an eye on your favorite restaurants' menu price fluctuations.
