The gamification feature called ‘Muhtarlık’, which Yemeksepeti has for a long time and which divides users into two regarding the functionality of the application, seems to have ended as of today.
Yemeksepeti, which made an eventful start to 2022, was hacked in the past months and then came to the fore with the revolt of the employees with the increase in the new year. Fortunately, events soon settled down and the company changed the rate of increase in the salary of its employees.
Yemeksepeti, one of the most frequently used ordering applications in our country, came up with a different topic today. been in the system for a long time. Gamification feature named ‘Muhtar’, it ended.
No neighborhood has a ‘Muhtar’ anymore!
As we said before; Yemeksepeti has been a user for a long time. collects points from their orders and the badges embodied the race for mayor he won. Although it created a kind of competitive environment among users, the exact functions of being a ‘muhtar’ were still unknown to many users.
As you know, at Yemeksepeti, we can send comments to restaurants about what we are satisfied with or not, in a way that everyone can see. In fact, these comments can sometimes be quite funny. With the mukhtar you will get when you become the most ordering Yemeksepeti user in your neighborhood. Your comment appeared at the top of the restaurant’s reviews. In addition, your suggestions were considered as a kind of ‘suggestion’ since you were the ‘headman of the neighbourhood’.
As a matter of fact, the feature doesn’t have much of a function other than that. Only some restaurants could make small gestures to you because you are the headman of your neighborhood and your comments will appear at the top. Of course until now. As of today, Yemeksepeti has terminated this practice and the section with the ‘Mukhtar Ranking’ is currently empty. The app is actually kind of it was distinguishing the comments of users who placed too many orders from others. Although the application seems to serve a good purpose from this point of view, the number of users who have different opinions on this issue and find the application unnecessary is also quite high.
Not yet from the company There was no official statement, therefore, although it is not visible in the application at the moment, we do not know whether the feature has been completely shelved or if it is a different development / change. On social media, users began to produce their own theories as to why the application might have been removed. Some users, on the other hand, shared that they found the application unnecessary and that it was appropriate to remove it, regardless of why it was removed.
We still didn’t understand what was going on…
