talabat UAE has offered 100 rent-free cloud kitchens to support homegrown restaurants and the initiative comes as restaurant operators navigate rising cost pressures and evolving consumer demand.
talabat UAE has launched an initiative to provide 100 cloud kitchen spaces rent-free to homegrown restaurant brands, in a move aimed at supporting local operators and strengthening the country’s food ecosystem.
The programme will offer eligible UAE-founded brands access to fully equipped cloud kitchen spaces at no rental cost until September 2026, removing a key operational expense and enabling businesses to scale delivery operations.
The initiative comes as restaurant operators navigate rising cost pressures and evolving consumer demand, with delivery platforms playing an increasingly central role in supporting growth and market access.
Simonida Subotic, Managing Director of talabat UAE, said: “Homegrown restaurants are at the heart of the UAE’s food scene and supporting their growth is a priority for us. With this initiative, we’re removing key barriers and giving our partners the space and visibility they need to scale, while continuing to strengthen the wider ecosystem.”
