Restaurant India News: Subway Bets on Quick Commerce With Swiggy Bolt Tie-Up in India

Swiggy’s quick delivery service, Bolt, has joined hands with quick-service restaurant (QSR) chain Subway to enable 10-minute delivery of Subway’s full menu in 125 cities across India. The announcement was made by Swiggy through a media release on Thursday. This partnership brings the majority of Subway outlets in the country onto the Bolt platform, expanding Subway’s reach and aligning with Bolt’s strategy to cater to high-frequency food categories.

“This collaboration underscores our ongoing efforts to partner with iconic brands and enhance customer experience through innovation and operational excellence,” said Sidharth Bhakoo, chief business officer, Swiggy Food Marketplace.

Bolt currently offers a variety of high-demand food categories, including snacks, bakery products, breakfast staples, sweets, ice creams, burgers, and biryani, and now adds Subway’s sandwiches and other menu items to its portfolio.

Tarun Bhasin, CEO, Culinary Brands, added, “This partnership with Swiggy has helped us not only improve delivery timelines but also helped in raising the bar on freshness and customer satisfaction.”

The move reflects the growing competition in India’s quick commerce and QSR space, where speed, freshness, and convenience are becoming key differentiators.
