Uber Eats announces a partnership with the 2019 Dubai Food Festival
Uber Eats, the globally popular on-demand food delivery app and website, that helps bring millions of people around the world the food they want, at the tap of a button, has announced a partnership with the 2019 Dubai Food Festival, which is set to kick off on February 21st. The sponsorship agreement was announced by Uber Eats and Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE) at an exclusive launch event which welcomed guests from different industries.
This is the first year Uber Eats sponsors the annual Dubai Food Festival, highlighting the brand’s commitment to bringing great food to people across the city. In recognition of everything culinary, 2019 will see Uber Eats encourage people to celebrate food together, and the partnership with Dubai Food Festival will bring this to life. Dubai Food Festival is a highlight of the city’s gastronomic calendar and sees the participation from some of the world’s leading chefs and highly acclaimed restaurants across the city until March 9.
“As the region’s favourite, and fastest growing food delivery platform, we are confident of the synergy we share with Dubai Food Festival, as we both bring to people delicious dishes spanning cuisines from all over the world. Customers using the app are passionate about food and Dubai Food Festival has achieved an iconic status with the remarkable quality of restaurants and chefs that are part of it. This partnership celebrates our, and Dubai’s love for food and we look forward to celebrating all the culinary delights together and bringing more joy to foodies across the UAE,” said Damien Drap, General Manager, Uber Eats GCC, commenting on the sponsorship.
Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO, Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), said: “Technology continues to revolutionise the F&B industry in the region, with food delivery platforms such as Uber Eats providing a quick and convenient solution to busy schedules. As Dubai Food Festival (DFF) continues to mirror the city’s connection with food, we are excited to partner with Uber Eats and look forward to seeing more residents of Dubai discover delicious at DFF this year.”
This year’s Dubai Food Festival promises to be more exciting than ever by introducing new concepts and bringing back the city’s favorites such as Dubai Restaurant Week. Uber Eats will also be at the beloved Beach Canteen on Sunset Beach with a larger-than-life experiential activation for the whole family. To bring good food to more Eaters across Dubai, Uber Eats will also run a buy one get one free offer from more than 600 restaurant partners on the app across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah starting from February 28th to Saturday March 16th.
As a result of its growing popularity, Uber Eats most recently launched in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, making the app available in six cities and three countries across the region. Uber Eats continues to stand apart from the competition, by delivering a wide range of great food to suit all tastes and occasions with an average delivery time of less than 30 minutes, and being a trusted business partner to thousands of restaurant-partners across the region.
