Delivery Hero’s Talabat absorbs Carriage’s operations across the region

In all of its markets, Carriage's operations will be absorbed by Talabat and except Saudi, Talabat will be the only Delivery Hero brand serving these markets.. Carriage that was started in Kuwait by a group of four entrepreneurs in early 2016 was acquired by Delivery Hero in May 2017 for $100 million .. Even though we've learned that Delivery Hero has no plans to kill Carriage the brand, we wouldn't be surprised if they do it a few months down the line (with Talabat absorbing Carriage's app as well).. Employees of Carriage will take the biggest hit as we're learning that Delivery Hero will be laying them off in large numbers.. The employees, according to one of our sources, are divided into three groups - those who will be laid off right away, those who will work with the company during the transition period and those who will be given offers to work for other Delivery Hero brands.. Update: A previous version of the story incorrectly indicated that Carriage's operations in Saudi will be absorbed in HungerSation..
