As part of their mission to highlight developments in the food industry and support local restaurants, Deliveroo and Deliverect hosted a panel discussion featuring Seham AlHusaini, General Manager of Deliveroo, Naji Haddad, MENA General Manager at Deliverect, and Abdulrahman Al Omar, Managing Partner at Thinnies.
During the event, the speakers discussed technology’s critical role in helping local restaurants optimise their delivery operations, maximise profitability in the delivery-only model, and keep customers loyal in the digital food space and the food trends in 2023.
Naji Haddad, MENA General Manager at Deliverect, said, “Now more than ever, restaurants are realising technology’s integral role in the food industry. We saw it before the pandemic when online delivery started increasing, and then the pandemic accelerated it tenfold. Most restaurants started adopting delivery, online ordering, and digital menus. While technology has already improved several aspects of the restaurant industry, much more must be done. The future of food is digital, and technology will continue to be a key driver in achieving growth, profitability, and improving customer experience.”
Seham AlHusaini, General Manager of Deliveroo, said: “As leaders in the food technology space, Deliveroo is proud to have spearheaded a variety of tools that have made life that much easier for restaurants, customers, and riders. With years of experience in the regional and international food industry, Deliveroo has long been at the forefront of digital food delivery, recognising food trends and paving new strategies to keep customers engaged. We look forward to surprising and inspiring customers to keep trying new foods while continuing to work with riders and restaurant partners that make Kuwait such an outstanding food hub.”

Deliveroo’s technology helps partners streamline operations, manage businesses more efficiently, and provide an exceptional customer experience by predicting demand, optimising delivery, and allowing testing, analysis, and continuous improvement.
