Burger King CEO Raj Varman told Economic Times, “We believe tech-enabled solutions will give us a chance to keep pace with customers. Online apps and mobile penetration have changed the way business is being done."

Burger King had started the e-ordering option through online eBay.

Reportedly, India’s organised food market is pegged at $48 billion, of which $10 billion is contributed by the delivery market.

Online and mobile delivery constitutes over 10% of total delivery and number is growing at a rate of more than 25%.
