Careem introduces commission-free model for UAE restaurants
UAE-based super app Careem, has introduced a commission-free model for its restaurant partners in a step to relieve the economic impact of the Covid-19 crisis on UAE- based local eateries according to the company.
The new model replaces the percentage-based commission that food aggregator apps conventionally charge with a monthly subscription fee, a model adopted by UAE-based Chatfood. According to the company’s release on Tuesday, the move comes at a time when restaurants are struggling with high commissions imposed by food aggregators and food delivery apps, which tend to charge commissions as high as 30-35 per cent per order.
