New App Launched With the Aim of Satisfying the UAE’s Food Craving


Home-grown concept promises to change the food delivery and dine-in industry


Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates-Monday 29 April 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
Crave, a UAE-based food delivery and dine-in start-up company, today launched its mobile app in the UAE. The app provides a comprehensive way for people to satisfy their food cravings.

Users of the app can either order food through the app by swiping right or left on images of different food items (all predetermined by their specific requirements and preferences), book a table at restaurants throughout the UAE, order food for pick-up, or find directions to a specific restaurant.

Crave, which launched from Al Maryah Island, is part of ADGM’s Tech Startup program, which provides promising businesses with a comprehensive ecosystem to support their growth.

Dhaher bin Dhaher Al Mheiri, CEO, Registration Authority, ADGM, said “ADGM is proud to provide opportunities to promote National entrepreneurs and start-ups, such as Crave.  As an International Financial Centre, ADGM fosters a thriving and supportive environment to enable the start-up community and bring about sustainable economic growth for our country. We are committed to supporting the national entrepreneurial development through our initiatives such as the Tech Start up Licence and the Professional Services Programme. We wish Crave the very best and look forward to being part of their journey to success.”

Abdulla Rashed Alhajeri, Founder and CEO of Crave, said: “We are grateful to ADGM for their support in helping bring our concept to life and for providing us with the ecosystem and infrastructure to ensure we have everything we need to succeed. The offerings at ADGM are second-to-none, and enables start-ups to focus on their business while also receiving a significant amount of support.”

Alhajeri added: “Crave takes the mobile food delivery concept to another level and enhances the current offerings available in the market. The app enables users to be presented with food items based on their vicinity and dietary requirements, be it vegan or lactose free, and then they will be presented with different meal options – which they can swipe right or left on to order it. It’s seamless, easy, and interactive and I’m confident that users will find its many features beneficial.”

The Crave app can be downloaded from the IOS and the Google stores under the name: Crave UAE.
