Swiggy Launches ‘Eatlists’: Curate and Share Your Favorite Dishes!

Swiggy, the leading food delivery and logistics platform, has introduced a pioneering feature named ‘Eatlists’, set to redefine the way food enthusiasts discover, share, and enjoy food recommendations. Marking a global-first innovation in the food delivery industry, Eatlists brings a fresh approach to food discovery by allowing users to create, curate, and share personalized lists of their favorite dishes directly within the Swiggy app.

Swiggy’s recent in-app analytics reveal that a significant portion of users face challenges in meal selection. Specifically, 58% of users experience indecision when choosing what to eat, while 68% turn to recommendations from friends and acquaintances to navigate their food choices. This reliance on external recommendations often involves navigating through multiple platforms for reviews and orders, resulting in a fragmented and inefficient process. In response to these common challenges, Swiggy has developed Eatlists to streamline food discovery and sharing, providing users with a more cohesive and enjoyable experience.

What is Eatlists?

Eatlists is a new feature that enables users to craft and share collections of their favorite dishes. Just as music enthusiasts create and share playlists, food lovers can now curate lists of their top culinary finds. These curated lists can be themed around various concepts, such as “Weekend Indulgences,” “Biryani Cravings,” or “Healthy Eating,” making food discovery both structured and personal.

Key Benefits of Eatlists:

Centralized Favorites: Eatlists allows users to compile and organize their favorite dishes into themed lists. Whether it’s a list of “Must-Try Desserts” or “Best Local Street Food,” users can keep all their food recommendations in one convenient place.

Effortless Sharing: Users can easily share their Eatlists with friends and family through popular social media platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram. This feature facilitates the discovery of new restaurants and dishes, creating a more social food experience.

Immediate Access: Eatlists offers instant access to a wealth of food recommendations. Users can explore Eatlists created by others, discover top food spots in various cities or new dining trends, and integrate these suggestions into their own food adventures.

Rohit Kapoor, CEO of Swiggy Food Marketplace, elaborated on the vision behind Eatlists, stating, “Food has always been a cornerstone of community and connection long before the rise of social media. With Eatlists, we are bridging the gap between traditional food sharing and modern digital experiences. This feature allows users to express their culinary preferences, share their food journey, and explore thousands of curated Eatlists from fellow food enthusiasts and experts. It’s a way to bring people together over food, whether they are looking to discover new favorites in their city or explore dining options across the globe.”

To get started with Eatlists, users simply need to tap the bookmark icon next to their favorite dishes and organize them into various lists. Once their lists are ready, they can share them through social media or explore Eatlists made by other users, such as “Late-night Cravings in Mumbai” or “Top Street Foods in Delhi.”

The Eatlists feature is seamlessly integrated into both the Swiggy food home page and users’ profile pages, making it easy to create, share, and discover food recommendations. With this innovative feature, Swiggy is set to make food discovery more fun, social, and convenient for food lovers everywhere.
