In the ever-evolving food delivery landscape, restaurant menus aren’t static—they adapt by location, time, demand, inventory, and competitor pressure. The same McDonald's outlet on Uber Eats (USA), Swiggy (India), and Talabat (UAE) may serve different items, vary pricing hourly, or show limited availability based on geography and peak hours. To empower restaurant chains, cloud kitchens, FMCG brands, and aggregator platforms, iWeb Data Scraping developed a comprehensive menu variability tracker across these three global platforms.
This case study demonstrates how real-time menu intelligence enables brands to:
Benchmark competitors by city or region , Detect price and item availability fluctuations,Align regional promotions and item launches,Optimize supply chain and delivery visibility
Uber Eats – USA, UK, Canada, and more
Highly dynamic platform with real-time promotions and menu personalization.
Swiggy – India
India’s leading food aggregator with dense hyperlocal menu mapping and frequent pricing offers.
Talabat – UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman
