It’s lunchtime on a sunny afternoon. HarkaBahadur has a craving for chicken mo: mo today. He is bored with his office canteen and wants to go out for lunch. The best restaurant is a 5-minute drive away from his office. Harka gets on his bike and sets off to end his hunger. On the way, he gets stuck in a traffic jam for 15 minutes.
Sweating, he reaches the restaurant and orders. His food arrives in 15 minutes. By this time he is already getting late. He devours his mo: mo, like he is in a race, pays his bill and hurries back to his bike. By the time he reaches the office, he is already 10 minutes late. Sweating and panting he gets back to his work and realizes that he didn’t even remember the taste of the mo: mo because of the rush he was in. Well, this was the scenario a few years ago. Nowadays, foodies like HarkaBahadur have a new tool to satisfy their tongue and stomach any time, Foodmandu.

Founded by Mr. ManoharAdhikari, Foodmandu.com was launched in November 2010. Initially, it used to deliver food from 10 different restaurants. But with the increased penetration of internet and the interest of people toward e-commerce platforms, in just seven years the platform has expanded to more than 130 restaurants of Kathmandu valley.
Mr. Adhikari, CEO at Foodmandu says, “Currently we are receiving about 150 orders per day. Though we have grown tremendously since our establishment, I think that e-commerce platform is in its nascent stage in Nepal and hence this is just the beginning.”
