Founder of the Dubai-based e-commerce marketplace Mohamed Alabbar has criticised industry players for ‘robbing’ F&B operators.
E-commerce marketplace Noon is set to launch a delivery service for F&B operators across the UAE. It comes as the company’s Founder; Mohamed Alabbar launched a stinging attack on the industry, which has come under fire previously for the amount of commission charged.
Speaking at the AI Everything conference in the World Trade Centre, Alabbar said: “Everybody thinks food delivery did really well [during Covid-19]. It didn’t because customers were so scared for bringing food into their houses. But something else is critical when it comes to the food business – all of our F&B boys and girls in the region, they are not going to last, the way the aggregators are dealing with them.
“Aggregators are actually robbing the F&B operators with these incredible commissions that they are asking for.”
