In this episode, we chat with Abdullah Al-Mutawa, the founder and former CEO of Carriage. The guest tells an interesting story that began with the moment he thought about establishing the Carriage app for delivering restaurant orders, the operational challenges he faced in the beginning, and the reasons for the app’s unexpected success, until it was acquired by Delivery Hero for $180 million. We asked the guest about his experience before and after Carriage, how he dealt with competing companies owned by Delivery Hero, such as HungerStation and Talabat, and the reasons that forced the company to end the brand and suffice with the other brands it owns. We also talked about the story of his return to the market with a new app called “Carriage”, the difference between the previous business model and the current model, the experience of subscriptions in delivery, and how restaurants profit from them. In addition to discussing the problems and challenges of delivery apps and the opportunities available in the sector. Episode (100) of the Sawalif Business podcast with Abdullah Al-Mutawa.
