Careem Food, UAE Restaurants Streamline Onboarding Process

Careem, the premier multi-service app in the region, has announced a strategic alliance with the UAE Restaurants Group (UAERG), a federal entity representing the restaurant industry on a national level.

Under this partnership, Careem Food will extend a 50% discount on onboarding fees and offer UAERG member restaurants AED 3,600 worth of complimentary advertising, breaking exclusivity to join Careem Food. Furthermore, Careem will waive the AED1,500 onboarding fee for UAERG member restaurants interested in joining ‘Careem DineOut,’ Careem’s in-app F&B venue discovery and discounts platform.

Launched in Dubai in 2023, Careem DineOut enables customers to explore F&B venues across Dubai using filters for locations, budgets, occasions, and cuisines. Users can book a Careem ride to the venue, settle their dining bills, and enjoy discounts—all within the Careem app through DineOut. Careem Plus subscribers are entitled to exclusive discounts of up to 50% on dining bills at over 500 F&B venues, including notable UAERG members such as Zuma, Amazonico, and REIF.

Jaskaran Singh, VP of Food at Careem, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We’re thrilled to partner with UAE Restaurants Group to offer UAE restaurants a seamless and affordable onboarding experience to our state-of-the-art platform. This collaboration underscores our commitment to supporting the local dining scene and delivering even more value to our restaurant partners and customers.”

Mubarak Bin Fahad, Chairman of UAE Restaurants Group, commented, “We are delighted to join forces with Careem in this significant partnership, aimed at fostering growth and resilience within the UAE restaurant industry. This collaboration not only streamlines the onboarding process for our member restaurants but also demonstrates our commitment to creating opportunities for them to thrive in a dynamic market.”

Careem Food, launched in 2020 in Dubai, has expanded its operations across the UAE, KSA, and Jordan. It has evolved into one of the region’s leading food delivery platforms, boasting an extensive network of over 15,000 restaurant partners and providing flexible earning opportunities for thousands of delivery Captains.
