Reasons for Shutdown

Poor Pivot

They tried to pivot more on their app in order to become an aggregator of restaurants but failed.

The startup began as an internet kitchen with its own chefs and reliable partners.
But soon the pressure to scale up made it pivot into an aggregator of restaurants, using its app.
This made it dependent on many restaurant partners whose food quality and delivery efficiency were beyond its control.
The curation of content it promised wasn't well received by its customers.

Lack of Funds

Dazo was lagging behind their better-funded competitors.
