**Zepto Temporarily Closes 40 Cafes in Delhi Amid Supply Chain Adjustments**
In response to unprecedented demand, quick commerce company Zepto has temporarily suspended operations at 40 of its cafes located in and around Delhi. This strategic move aims to recalibrate its supply chain to better align with the surge in customer requests. The company anticipates that these closures will last only until September, allowing time to resolve the ongoing supply chain challenges.
Sources indicate that the decision was made to maintain the quality of service and product availability, as the demand Zepto has been experiencing has outpaced vendor capacity. “To ensure that quality and service are not compromised, the company is halting operations in 40 stores in and around Delhi,” a source revealed.
The impact of this decision is relatively limited, affecting fewer than 100 employees. Those affected have been offered the option to transfer to nearby stores or kitchens, as Zepto aims to retain its workforce for when operations resume in September. Employees were notified of the temporary closure on April 20 and have been given a month to decide on their transfer options.
Currently, Zepto operates approximately 750 cafes, and this temporary closure reflects the company’s commitment to adapting its operations to meet customer needs effectively.
