What they do
Rebel Foods runs a network of cloud kitchens and restaurant brands, delivering food through its EatSure platform in India and overseas
What happened
The company launched QuickiES in Mumbai, a 15‑minute food delivery service that offers a free meal if the promise isn’t met
Why it matters
QuickiES leverages Rebel Foods’ existing kitchen network and data‑driven tech to enter quick‑commerce, showing a strategic shift beyond standard food‑delivery
The details
- Rebel Foods introduced QuickiES, a 15‑minute food delivery service, in Mumbai on Valentine’s Day 2025.
- The service promises delivery within 15 minutes or the meal is free, a first in Indian quick‑commerce.
- QuickiES operates exclusively on the EatSure app, leveraging the company’s cloud‑kitchen brands such as Faasos, Behrouz Biryani, and Wendy’s.
- The launch uses Rebel Foods’ AI‑driven forecasting, speed ovens and hot‑holding spaces to meet the ultra‑fast promise.
- Rebel Foods claims 85‑90% coverage in Mumbai, enabling an 8‑minute drive time from kitchens with a 2‑3 minute preparation buffer.
- The company plans to roll out QuickiES to other metropolitan and Tier‑I cities after testing in Mumbai.
- QuickiES aims to capture the quick‑commerce market competing with Zomato, Swiggy, and up‑starts like Zepto.
- Founder Sagar Kochhar highlighted that using existing infrastructure reduces cost and time compared to building a new network.
The bigger picture
- Rebel Foods already operates 450+ kitchens across 70+ cities, giving it a scale advantage over aggregator‑led models.
- Competitors Zomato and Swiggy have launched their own quick‑food apps, prompting Rebel Foods to enter the segment.
- The launch follows a $210 million funding round in Dec 2023 and signals preparation for an IPO within 18‑24 months.
