The food delivery market realm is gearing up for its latest addition- Noon. The e-commerce giant recently announced the launch of its food delivery arm, Noon Food, which will be available in the coming few months.
The retailer hasn’t officially announced any launch date as of yet. However, we are expecting Noon Food to roll out in Dubai in the First quarter of 2021, followed by Riyadh, Sharaja,Jeddah and Abu Dhabi in the second quarter. Egypt users would, however, have to wait till 2022 to enjoy the Noon Food services.
The effects of the pandemic on all small scale businesses have undeniably been very strident. With the acceleration of the pandemic, the food and beverage services, in particular, felt a hard strike.
As a result the F&B industry, which contributes a significant part to Saudi’s economy, was forced to rely on food aggregators, who in turn started charging up to 35% commission structures.
Noon Food is an initiative to help the sinking small businesses and the F&B industry by rendering fair commissions of reportedly 5%, a far lower rate than other food delivery services. Aimed specifically to benefit food operators, Noon Food will be a restaurant first platform.
Talking about its new venture, Faraz Khalid, chief executive of Noon, said, “We've tried to reimagine the cost of food distribution, and we will be passing on benefits back to the restaurant operator so you can reinvest it in your businesses."
The food delivery service will be catering majorly to its vendors more than its customers, Moreover, along with charging a fair commission , Alabbar has promised the small business to provide lucrative incentives when they get on board with them.
Business owners can avail Noon’s massive customer base of over 6.5 million, and in turn ensure a higher order volume.
The payment handling fees would be running as low as 2% along with a delivery charge of AED 3 on all orders. In Addition to this, an one-off activation fee of AED 600 per outlet will also be there. With all fees guaranteed for at least 2 years, Noon Food’s fee structure would certainly be a boon to the struggling business owners.
There is certainly no denying the fact that the food delivery hub holds a tremendous array of participants, with each rendering its own set of features and services to its customers.
