Why your nearby restaurant has a sweet-sour relationship with Zomato/Swiggy?

A mini Thread 🧵👇
1/ Aggregator Economics

Aggregators are cash-guzzling businesses

Although the restaurant volumes go up, increasingly these companies are getting stricter with respect to their cash flows leaving no cut for the restaurant owners

2/ Customer Data Masking

Aggregators don't share any user data with the owners leaving them clueless about their customer base, their demographics & trends.

What is wealthy? Net worth of more than 500 times your yearly expenses.
Why? This is to ensure that one is safe financially in the worst of situations.
If this does look like too much: Imagine one has accumulated 500 times their expenses.

& given the age-related problems; Net of investments their expenses go up 15% YoY for 30 years (conservative viewpoint).

By the 31st year, one is just left with a single year of expense.
