Here is further content[edit]

...from the Demmitt Geekwire article, to incorporate, as editors see fit:

Zomato, the India-based restaurant discovery company that bought Seattle’s Urbanspoon for $60 million to establish a U.S. beachhead earlier this year, made another round of sweeping layoffs today.
Multiple Zomato offices, including the one in Seattle, have been closed entirely, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation. This is the second round of layoffs this year, after the company previously cut all former Urbanspoon engineers in order to consolidate technical jobs at the company’s headquarters in New Delhi.
...senior level executives had no idea what was coming. One former Seattle worker said everyone was asked to turn in their keycards and laptops and they were escorted out of the building. The office lead, a Zomato executive who flew in for the announcement and someone from human resources who was helping with job placements were the only ones left.
We first started receiving reports of the latest cuts on Thursday morning, including tips from affected workers at the company’s Seattle office. Some said as many as 150 employees were laid off at offices across the U.S., including San Francisco, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Philadelphia and New York.
Other former employees came forward on Twitter, saying the company has shut down all U.S. operations. GeekWire can not confirm those reports, and one source says Zomato will keep workers in a couple U.S. cities, including Dallas, where it has moved U.S. administrative functions.
...cuts are coming after a hiring spree at Zomato, as the company looked to replicate the model that worked so well in India. Most of those new workers were on the content team, and they were hired to go door-to-door, collecting data like menu listings and restaurant hours.That’s an unusual — and expensive — way of doing business, and sources say that’s why many of those jobs are now being eliminated.

Article review[edit]

@Glen:, might want to take a look at this, multiple users blocked for advertising and not enough notable sources. Also redirects to foodporn were made.

And this aswell, its another company made by the same person who made the foodporn site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArtFido Hogohit (talk) 22:47, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
