Please Note: No direct requests will be processed by the Swiggy team
How do I update my Menu for the festive season?

If a Restaurant is not integrated on POS
I want to edit my Menu, how do I do that?
Go to https://partner.swiggy.com/menu.Click ‘Add new item’ on the right hand side. Once you select ‘Menu’ on your partner page, add the items and mention the specifics of each item in the comment section and attach a bill copy (PDF/JPG/PNG format).
Our team will approve your request within 8 working hours. You can track the status of your request on the history page, with the provided unique revision ID.
How do I add exclusive Combos?
Combo meals are a great way to attract customers and customers tend to shift to other restaurants when they don’t see any combo options listed. We recommend you to have at least 5 combos in the menu. Partners displaying combo options on the Swiggy app have witnessed up to 5% increase in sales. Create a new category called ‘Swiggy Exclusive Combos’, add combo items to that category and our team will approve the same.
How do I change stacking of menu Items?
Write an email to Partnersupport@swiggy.in with the desired order of categories and how you would like your menu to be stacked, along with a physical copy of the restaurant menu.
What is the basic requirement for Menu Revision?
It is mandatory to have a physical menu / bill copy of 10% of the items or 10 items, whichever is less.
I have submitted a menu revision ticket but have been asked for more information. Why?
More information might be asked due to the following:
1. A Menu Copy / Bill Copy Not Provided – Attach all mandatory documents
before raising the menu revision request.
2. Blurred / Cropped Menu – Attach the complete menu in a clear
resolution.
3. Requirement of Restaurant Details – Provide the restaurant name,
restaurant ID & City name.
4. Clarification on customization – Provide the customization of an item
in detail.
I have raised a menu revision ticket, but it was closed with comments to use Self-Serve. What is Self-Serve and how do I use it?
Self-Serve is a feature where you can manage your menu on your own.
To know more about this feature, watch the YouTube video below:

I have updated the menu via the Partner Web Portal. Where can I view the status?
To know the status of an item(s), click on the history page and provide the unique revision ID.
Why is photography important?
The higher the number of images present alongside items on your menu,
the higher the orders from customers. We suggest you include pictures of
items in your recommended section, as well as throughout your menu to
give customers a reason to order those items from you.
The average monthly sales of restaurants with 15 or more images is 2X
that of restaurants than those who have few or no images. In the last
month, Swiggy has conducted photoshoots for over 1000 restaurants and
seen their business grow by ~10%. You can also grow your business on
Swiggy by reaching out to us to schedule a photoshoot. Swiggy will
organize a photoshoot with experienced food photographers to showcase
your offerings in the best light. Alternatively, you can also share your
images with us and we will showcase them on our platform.
How do I request a photoshoot?
You can reach out to your sales manager or write to Partnersupport@swiggy.in

With the Track DE button, you will be able to:
- View the exact location of the delivery executive assigned to the order in real-time
- Know the time the delivery executive will arrive at your restaurant
- Call the delivery executive, in case of any issues
What should you do in the following scenarios?
-
-
The delivery executive picked up the wrong order. How do I avoid
this?
- You can avoid delivery executives picking up wrong orders by seeing the last 4 pulsating digits of the order ID and confirm it with the current order ID, before handing the food over to them.
- You can call the delivery executive’s mobile number, by finding it in the ‘order section’ of the Partner App and ask him to come back to collect the correct order.

How will I come to know if my order has been cancelled by the customer?
You will hear a specific ringtone if an order gets cancelled. You can
also view it on the Partner App. It will appear as a black strip on top
of your orders page (as shown below).

What is Prep Time?
Prep time is the time taken from when an order is received by a restaurant to when the order has been marked ‘Food Ready’ by the restaurant once the food is prepared. Your ‘Food Ready’ signals are confirmed ACCURATE ONLY when a Delivery Partner does not have to wait at your outlet for more than 3 minutes once the order is marked ‘Food Ready’.
Note: The more accurate your estimated prep time is, the more accurate the arrival time of Delivery Partners to pick up assigned orders.
How can you reduce ‘Prep Time’?
Reducing your prep time is necessary in making sure the order is delivered within the estimated time given to a customer. Here’s how you can reduce your prep time:
- Accept the order as soon as you receive it and pass it on to the kitchen
- Never wait for the assignment of a Delivery Partner to start preparing the order
- Aim at preparing and packaging an order as soon as possible
- Proactively mark ‘Food Ready’ as soon as the order is prepared
What does ‘Food Ready’ mean?
Marking an order 'Food Ready' is an essential part of ‘Prep Time’. It’s a simple feature on the Partner App which helps Swiggy Delivery Partners know that an order has been prepared and is ready for pick-up, by clicking the button (as shown below). Using this feature accurately, reduces your calculated ''Prep Time'' as well as helps assign delivery executives to arrive ‘just in time’ for future orders.
NOTE: When the status of ‘Food Ready’ is not present or has been marked too early, then the prep time will be considered as the time between the order being received and when the food is picked up by the Delivery Partner.
*Your ‘Food Ready’ signals are considered accurate only in the following two scenarios: You mark an order as Food Ready → Delivery Partner picks up the order within 3 minutes on arrival Delivery Partner arrives early → You finish preparing the order → Mark it ‘Food Ready’ → Delivery Partner picks it up within 3 minutes
Please note : It is mandatory for Delivery Partners to send us accurate signals for their arrival at your restaurant and order pick-ups. In cases where Delivery Partners do not send out any signals, or send these signals while still far away from your outlet, we always consider your ‘Food Ready’ signal as accurate.
What benefits do you get by marking ‘Food Ready’?
-
Yields a lower prep time which in turn leads to
- Higher visibility on the consumer app - Top positions in restaurant listing
- Superfast deliveries - Better customer experience and improved ratings
- Higher delivery radius
- Higher serviceability during rain/peak hours
- 100% payments in cases where an order is cancelled after an accurate ‘Food Ready’ signal
- Priority assignments of Delivery Partners for active “Food Ready” orders
- Delivery Partner arrives on time = No food left waiting and no chaos or crowding at your restaurant
