Takeouts make Dubai go round…<\/p>\n

Seriously it’s a city with a bustling food delivery trade, where you’ll meet people ordering breakfast, lunch and dinner via food delivery apps.<\/p>\n

And EVERYONE’s got a fave app; depending on whether you value price, quality or speed more.<\/p>\n

One resident has called out the price difference between the apps, and the difference in ITEM price will shock you<\/h3>\n

\u200b\u200bFollow the chili minced meat and cheese fatayer and notice the price change\u200b<\/h4>\n

\u26a1\ufe0f Ordering dinner tonight turned into a food platform price comparison exercise.@Deliveroo<\/a> vs @UberEats<\/a> vs @Zomato<\/a> vs @roundmenu<\/p>\n

Same 6 item cart, many different prices pic.twitter.com\/FGdQF7frQq<\/a><\/p>\n

He rated Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Zomato and Round Menu<\/h3>\n

Ordering from the same spot, he chose the same six items on each app.<\/p>\n

Deliveroo charged AED161 for the total order<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next, Uber Eats at AED159<\/h4>\n

Zomato comes in at AED135<\/h3>\n

Finally, Round Menu at AED146<\/h3>\n

BOOM! Zomato comes in as the cheapest, but residents were quick to express shock at the difference in menu item prices<\/h3>\n

‘Item prices should be fixed’<\/h4>\n
\n

This is bad. I didnt know. Item prices should be fixed<\/p>\n

Do apps get commissions based on platforms?<\/h4>\n
\n

Nah. We\u2019re not there yet. Higher pricing to compensate for platform commissions IMO.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Omar Kassim (@okassim) August 4, 2018<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Or possibly a wider audience lowers the price<\/h4>\n
\n

Feels like bigger user base linked to lower prices for @ZomatoUAE<\/a><\/p>\n

…maybe it makes sense<\/h4>\n
\n

Why? Airline tickets, hotel rooms etc aren’t.
If food orders are slow, they should drop prices and vice versa as long as buyer agrees to the prices.<\/p>\n

Zomato is the cheapest, but Deliveroo always wins on speed<\/h4>\n
\n

Heh. Money saved, is money earned!<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t benchmarked them against each other (yet), but I agree that @Deliveroo_ae<\/a> would probably win regularly in terms of outright speed<\/p>\n

\u2014 Omar Kassim (@okassim) August 5, 2018<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This tweeter values the speed of Deliveroo<\/h4>\n
\n

Useful bit of info. @Deliveroo_ae<\/a> would get my order though only because of speed of delivery. Worth the extra cost in my opinion<\/p>\n

Anyway, everyone at Zomato RN<\/h3>\n
