Swiggy Dineout Launches ‘Order-in-Cinemas’ to Make Movie-Time Snacking More Convenient; Partners with Cinepolis, Asian Cinemas & PoS Aggregators

25 August, 2026 – Swiggy (Swiggy Ltd, NSE: SWIGGY / BSE: 544285), India's pioneering on-demand convenience platform, today announced the launch of a new ordering experience within the eating-out landscape with the launch of 'Order-in-Cinemas' on Swiggy Dineout. The feature debuts in partnership with top multiplex brands, Cinepolis and Asian Cinemas, across multiple screens, opening up a brand-new touchpoint for theaters to engage with audiences. In addition to this, Swiggy Dineout has also partnered with a leading PoS aggregator, Impact (owned and operated by UFO Moviez) as well as with Showbizz, a leading Cinema Software Solutions provider for PoS aggregation. The integration with multiple PoS aggregators is currently underway.

By leveraging technology to elevate F&B and the cinema experience, the 'Order-in-Cinemas' offering on Swiggy Dineout is set to redefine the food ordering experience at cinemas. Designed around a simple four-step journey- Scan, Browse, Order & Pay, and Delivery, customers can simply scan a QR code placed in the cinema halls, browse the cinema's menu on the Swiggy Dineout app, place their order, and have it delivered directly to their seat. The feature promises attractive discounts to the moviegoers, making food ordering at cinemas affordable and convenient. Cinema goers can also view upcoming movie releases, trailers, posters, booking links, special screenings, events and promotional offers for a well-rounded experience conveniently from their mobile screens.

The offering also serves as a new revenue lever for cinemas, ensuring a higher revenue per screen for them by enabling a boost in average spend per head for the cinemas, creating orders that never existed before. PoS players can also plug-and-play this offering with their stack.

Speaking on the launch, Swapnil Bajpai, CEO, Swiggy Dineout & Scenes said, "Movie-going is an experience built around entertainment, and food continues to be an important part of it. We believe that ordering food should further elevate the movie watching experience for cinema lovers.

With the 'Order-in-Cinemas' offering on Swiggy Dineout, we are expanding the horizons of how consumers can use Swiggy.

This first-of-its-kind collaboration not only reflects the growing possibilities in the eating-out landscape, enhances convenience for consumers but also creates new business touchpoints for cineplexes."

Adding to the same, Devang Sampat, Managing Director, Cinepolis India shared "FOOVIES was built on a premise that our guests do not think of food and movies as two separate decisions.

Ordering becomes effortless, the offers add value for our guests, and they stay with the film from start to finish. That is the experience we want every visit to deliver."
