Careem buys meal delivery service Munch:On

As part of its continuous effort to become a super app, Careem, the UAE-based multi-service platform, has acquired the subscription-based food delivery service Munch:On.
Munch:On will cease operations as a result of the acquisition, and its services will be moved to the Careem application, which recently expanded to provide payments, ride-hailing, PCR testing, food and other services in one integrated platform.
Munch:On is a subscription-based food delivery service that connects clients to meals at a discount by utilising unused kitchen capacity as well as packaging, scheduling and routing technologies. It was founded in 2016. It now mainly caters to the corporate lunch market.
Currently serving millions of consumers around the Middle East, the Careem app’s food offering is expanding quickly. According to Mudassir Sheikha (above), CEO and Co-Founder of Careem, by purchasing Munch:On, Careem Food will be able to construct an even more competitive offering with a far deeper variety of benefits for both restaurant partners and customers.
Eight cities in the Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE and Qatar can download the Careem app.
