How Zepto Cafe, Bistro and Swish deliver food in 10 minutes
Zepto Cafe puts a small counter inside a Zepto grocery dark store. The menu leans to coffee, snacks and quick meals. Since it uses stores Zepto already has, it reaches 27 cities.
A counter is also cheap to open or pause. Zepto had more than 600 in November 2025, then paused about 200 where demand was weak.
Bistro by Blinkit and Swish run full kitchens, much like a dark kitchen. Each kitchen costs more to set up, so both have stayed in the two busiest markets, Bengaluru and Delhi NCR.
Bistro grew from 38 kitchens in July 2025 to 77 now. Swish was only in Bengaluru in March 2026. It now has 71 kitchens in 6 cities, after raising $38 million in March 2026 and $24 million in September.
What to expect when you order 10-minute food
- A short menu. Coffee, snacks, sandwiches and simple meals that can be made in a few minutes. For a full restaurant meal, a regular food delivery app is the better choice.
- Separate apps. Bistro and Swish have their own apps. Zepto Cafe is in the main Zepto app and in a separate Zepto Cafe app.
- Fees in the final bill. Bistro adds a ₹5 convenience fee at checkout.
- Restaurant food, fast. Swiggy’s Bolt is not a cafe or kitchen app. It is Swiggy’s service for quick-to-make dishes from restaurants near you.

Frequently asked questions about 10-minute food delivery
Which apps deliver food in 10 minutes in India?
Zepto Cafe, Bistro by Blinkit and Swish. Swiggy closed its Snacc app in February 2026, and Zomato closed Zomato Quick in May 2025.
Which city has the most 10-minute food outlets?
Bengaluru, with about 105 across the three apps. Gurugram has about 45 and Delhi about 40. City figures are rounded.
Why can’t I see 10-minute food in the app at my address?
Each cafe or kitchen serves only a small area around it. If none is close to your address, the app hides the 10-minute menu or shows a longer delivery time. Set your exact location in the app, then check again.
