Online ordering with an NFC coaster

Swiggy Instamart, a food delivery service based in Bangalore, India, has launched a promotional drinks coaster that comes equipped with NFC and a QR code. The coaster enables consumers to access a selection of snacks and beverages by tapping or scanning it with their mobile device. The coasters are being sent to customers when they make a purchase from the Swiggy Instamart platform.

By tapping the embedded NFC tag or scanning the QR code, customers can enter the delivery service’s newly launched Bolt Snackstation without having to browse the regular menu on the company’s app. The snack station comprises a curated list of munchies and beverages, possible ready-to-go combos, and trending snacks.

Additionally, it uses AI to track orders and suggest snacks based on users’ preferences. Customers can easily get drinks and snacks delivered in 10 minutes using the Bolt Snackstation. The brochure sent along with the coaster says that the brand will bring out more interesting keep-at-home offerings for instant access to various curated product collections.
