Abu Dhabi – Talabat, the Middle East’s largest online food delivery portal, has announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Coca-Cola Middle East. The collaboration is part of a global partnership between Talabat’s parent company Delivery Hero Group (“Delivery Hero”), the leading global online food ordering and delivery marketplace and The Coca-Cola Company, marking a new way of collaboration in the field of online food ordering and delivery services.

Talabat, which has seen a rapid year on year growth, has revealed that almost half of all the orders placed on its platform during 2016 contained drinks. Capitalizing on these insights, the alliance with The Coca-Cola Company is set to unlock ample sets of combos for the consumers.

We are now entering into a strategic partnership to deepen our cooperation. This will create a clear win-win scenario for both partners and our customers.”
