Executive Summary
• Launched in October 2017, Foodate is a convenient and user-friendly website and mobile app that will
transform the way users order food. We partner with the best restaurants in the UAE – from local
hotspots to national favorites – and bring you the food you love, right to your door, within a click.
• With thousands of choices and daily offers, we’ll deliver your order in no time, hassle free.
• We aim to benefit both users and restaurants in the UAE by simplifying the delivery process using cutting
edge technology and excellent customer service.
• From the restaurants’ perspective, Foodate offers 3 types of food delivery services (The end-user doesn’t
really notice the difference):
• Logistics: We deliver the food listed on our app using our own riders
• Non-logistics: Some restaurants listed on our app can choose to deliver using their own in-house
delivery team
• ODDS: On Demand Delivery Service, a unique service that differentiates us and that allows any
restaurant to make use of our delivery fleet on an ad-hoc, on demand basis

• Once the restaurant receives your order, they’ll get to work preparing your food
and then carefully package it. Once it's all ready to go, a Foodate rider (Or the
restaurant’s own delivery rider) will pick it up and bring it to you.
• Foodate charges a small fee on each delivery depending on the type of delivery
(Logistics, non-logistics or ODDS)
