Food delivery platform Swiggy is set to introduce new fees for select restaurant partners on orders placed through its Swiggy One membership, NDTV Profit reported.
The company has reportedly informed select restaurants that the new fees will come into effect from November 25.
It is expected that the fee will be calculated depending on the total cost of the order. with the blended rate likely to fall between Rs 2 and Rs 5 per order.
The final amount payable will likely depend on the proportion of Swiggy One orders a restaurant receives in each payout cycle, the report said.
The new levy will be an addition to current charges such as the standard 17–25 per cent base commission and other applicable fees.
Swiggy follows a weekly payout cycle, usually settling payments on Wednesdays or Thursdays, with the schedule differing across cities.
Swiggy One is the company's premium membership programme, which offers users free deliveries and a range of additional benefits.
In May, the company also began charging a rain-surge fee to its premium members, a charge that Swiggy One users were previously exempt from. Earlier in February, the company rolled out an additional 2 per cent collection fee on all partner orders.
