Kuwait-based food delivery platform Carriage launched in Egypt last week, COO Bader Al-Ajeel tells MENAbytes. Carriage launched its alpha phase a month ago and has signed up around 600 restaurants in Cairo so far, according to Al-Ajeel.

Is the service entering an already-saturated market? “The startup faces stiff competition from local and international players who are already present in Egypt,” the website notes. Uber Eats, Otlob, Elmenus, Akelni and Glovo are just a few of the players already battling for delivery market share here in Egypt. Carriage says it will expand its services to more than food delivery, as it has done in other markets, to maintain a competitive edge.
