Trends emerging in the food delivery and online ordering post the Pandemic

The Middle East, but UAE in particular, is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines. UAE has firmly established itself as a gastronomic hub, boasting the presence of popular global brands and international chefs across a wealth of F&B concepts from around the world. The recent PRIME (POSist Restaurant Industry & Market Evolution) UAE report outlines the huge opportunity in several sectors.

By exploring investments in areas like cloud kitchens and building an efficient delivery setup, F&B outlets will be able to continue to improve unit growth, add more touchpoints to connect with diners, and above all, build a sustainable model in the longer run.

Delivery was already popular in the UAE even before the lockdown. The accelerated growth of the online food delivery marketplace due to COVID19 has made restaurants realise that being online was the only way to survive at times when customers could not physically dine in the restaurant.
