Practice questions in Zomato's style

Original ZorixOS questions written the way Zomato interviews, so you rehearse the real format. Not claimed as asked at Zomato.

  1. Imagine Zomato's delivery network experiences a sudden surge in orders in a specific city due to a local festival. How would you design a system to dynamically reallocate delivery partners to ensure timely deliveries, considering factors like traffic, order density, and partner availability?

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates ability to design scalable and adaptive distributed systems under high load.

  2. A key Zomato API endpoint for fetching restaurant menus is experiencing intermittent latency spikes. Describe your process for debugging this issue, from initial hypothesis to resolution. What tools and techniques would you use?

    Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Assesses systematic debugging skills and familiarity with performance analysis tools.

  3. Write a Python function to find the k most frequently ordered items across all restaurants in a given city for the past 24 hours. Assume you have access to a database of order details.

    Software EngineerCodingTests: Tests proficiency in data manipulation, frequency counting, and algorithmic efficiency.

  4. Zomato is considering optimizing its restaurant search results ranking algorithm. How would you approach building a recommendation engine that prioritizes restaurants based on user preferences, past order history, and current promotions, while ensuring fairness to smaller restaurants?

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Probes understanding of recommendation systems, feature engineering, and algorithmic bias.

  5. You are responsible for the real-time order tracking feature on Zomato. Design a system that can handle millions of concurrent updates from delivery partners and accurately display the order's progress to customers with minimal delay.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates design of real-time systems, concurrency management, and low-latency communication.

  6. Given a table of Zomato orders (order_id, user_id, restaurant_id, order_time, delivery_time, order_value), write a SQL query to find the top 5 users who have the highest average order value for restaurants in the 'Indian' cuisine category in the last month.

    Data ScientistSQLTests: Tests SQL proficiency in data aggregation, filtering, and ranking.
