The agreement was unveiled during a joint press event in Dubai.
talabat 'pro' customers to get 10% on Bolt rides
The collaboration will give talabat 'pro' subscribers a 10 per cent discount on all Bolt rides via a seamless integration in the talabat app.
The new feature was launched in order to build on talabat's subscription model to transform it more into a 'lifestyle,' the company's chief executive officer Tomaso Rodriguez told Arabian Business during the press conference.
'We started by offering free deliveries on food [for 'pro' members]. Then we started getting more benefits also on the grocery vertical, we started adding bank partnerships and other benefits, and also discounts on specific items on talabat Mart and more. So, I think now, for us, it's also time to focus on what's outside of our ecosystem.
'And when we think about all the possible options, we believe that our customers—especially talabat Pro customers, who are the heaviest users on the talabat app and who seek convenience to get their food delivered—can also seek convenience to get around the city in a smart and very smooth way, right? So, when we started talking with the Bolt team, we realised our values and the way we think about the business are very similar. We have a customer obsession.—we really want to make sure we deliver a fantastic product,' Rodriguez added.
