📍 Banana Corner, Whitefield, Bangalore
A peaceful new café spot tucked inside Samarpan Enclave — perfect for a calm tea break or light bites.
I tried their banana sandwich and tea — sandwich was decent, but the tea could be better (needs more boil & flavour to stand out from the usual roadside tea stalls).

Nice ambience, not crowded yet, so good for work or a quiet chat. Worth a try if you’re nearby!

✅ Peaceful vibe
✅ Affordable snacks
📝 Tip: They should work a bit more on the tea quality to build regulars.

📣 Highlight

Restaurants in Namakkal go local!
Local eateries in Namakkal, Tamil Nadu, have now joined hands with the new food delivery app Zaaroz, opting out of Swiggy and Zomato. The shift comes in response to steep and hidden commissions—some reported losses as high as 40%—prompting a move to the subscription-based Zaaroz model.

📄 Details

**Why the switch?**
Rising tariffs and undisclosed fees on mainstream platforms forced restaurants to up their menu prices by ~40%, eating into profits and burdening customers.

**What Zaaroz offers:**

₹1,500/month (small eateries) or ₹3,000/month (larger outlets) + 18% GST

Delivery charges: ₹25 up to 2 km + ₹5/km + ₹10 platform fee per order

No hidden commissions, only transparent monthly payments

**First-day impact:**
Around 50 local restaurants enrolled on launch day, signaling a strong vote for community-focused pricing.

🔍 Why it matters

This initiative highlights a growing trend: small and mid-sized businesses fighting for fair terms and sustainable models by choosing local, transparent platforms over national giants.
